Starter feature. Available on your Jet Tracker account.

Manufacturer-published distances at sea level, ISA and reference weight. Not corrected for altitude, temperature, wind or runway condition, takeoff included. Uses the declared LDA as a proxy for effective runway length (RBAC 135.361) and the most favourable threshold in calm air (135.385(b)(1)): on the day, wind may force the shorter threshold. Destination only: does not assess the alternate aerodrome (135.387). Not a substitute for the AFM or the operator's performance analysis. Rule: RBAC 135.385 and 135.398; private flying (RBAC 91) is not factored. Runways: declared distance (LDA) from AISWEB/DECEA (2026-09-05), checkable on each aerodrome chart; where DECEA publishes no declared distance, physical length from OurAirports is used.

History

  1. 2005First flight
  2. 2006 - Citation Mustang: the pioneer VLJ, FAA-certified in 2006

    The Mustang was the first Very Light Jet to receive FAA type certification, in September 2006, marking the official birth of the VLJ category. Produced between 2006 and 2017 (discontinued), it paved the way for the Phenom 100, Eclipse 500 and HondaJet.

    FAA Type Certificate Data Sheet A33CE
  3. 2006FAA certification
  4. 2006First deliveries
  5. 2017 - 479 units delivered in 11 years of production

    Between 2006 and 2017, Cessna delivered 479 Mustangs before discontinuing the line, according to GAMA data, a notable feat for a jet that cost ~USD 3.2M new, in the range of a high-end turboprop.

Brazil Fleet

The Cessna Citation Mustang is a very light jet with a 1,150 nm range and a 340 kt cruise speed, built from 2006 to 2017. The up-to-date RAB-ANAC registration count is in the Brazil Fleet section of this page, and the breakdown by status (operational, registration-mark reservation, suspended) is in the model's Analytics.

According to the EASA type certificate data sheet (TCDS EASA.IM.A.502, issue of 21 Jun 2018), the Cessna 510 Mustang received its FAA type certificate on 8 Sep 2006 and its EASA certificate on 21 May 2007. The data sheet describes a low-wing aircraft with a T-tail, a pressurized cabin and two 1,460 lb thrust Pratt & Whitney Canada PW615F-A turbofans mounted on the rear fuselage. The certified capacity is two crew and four passenger seats, and the maximum operating altitude is 41,000 ft.

Out of production, the model can only be bought pre-owned. The pre-owned median and open listings, kept up to date, are in the price card and the For sale now card of this page.

Curiosities and highlights

Benefits

Direct cost under USD 1,000/h: the cheapest jet to operate

With low-fuel-burn PW615F-A engines and an MTOW of only ~3,920 kg, the Mustang is frequently cited as the business jet with the lowest direct operating cost in the world, below USD 1,000/h under optimistic conditions.

Limitations

1.37 m cabin height: tighter than the CJ1 and Phenom 100

The Mustang is genuinely tight: standing in the cabin is impossible (~1.37 m) and width is limited. It takes 4 PAX comfortably or 5 with discomfort, a limitation accepted by the owner-flown public that prioritizes cost over comfort.

Curiosities

Garmin G1000 avionics as standard: unusual in jets of the time

The Mustang was one of the first business jets to use the Garmin G1000 (the same platform as piston airplanes in the family), instead of Collins Pro Line or Honeywell, a decision that lowered acquisition cost and pilot training cost.
