Cessna Citation Mustang

The Cessna Citation Mustang is a single-pilot-certified jet aircraft, built to provide ample storage area, advanced engine controls, and a sleek aerodynamic design. The smallest of the Cessna Citation family, the Citation Mustang features one of the fastest cruising speeds and largest baggage capacities in the class, as well as a full Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) type certification to fly into known icing conditions.

Launched at the 2002 NBAA convention, the $2.4 million Mustang first flew on April 23, 2005. The airplane received full type certification from the Federal Aviation Administration on September 8, 2006.

Cessna received FAA certification to fly into “known icing conditions” on November 9, 2006. Cessna delivered the first production LJ on November 22, 2006, the same day the FAA awarded Cessna with the necessary certification.

Dave and Dawn Goode of GOODE Ski Technologies received the first retail delivered Cessna Mustang on April 23, 2007.

Although the interior cabin is relatively small compared to larger options on the market, it uses its available space efficiently and stylishly. Ergonomic seating is comparable to many larger models including fully-reclinable leather seats with AC power supply, storage space consoles, retractable work tables, and comfortable armrests.

Additionally, the Mustang has an impressive amount of storage space for a jet of its category boasting 57 cubic feet (or 620 lbs) of external baggage volume.

If you are looking for the ideal entry-level jet for one to three passengers, the Mustang is an incredibly cost-effective, comfortable, and efficient choice for short-range trips. While the Mustang isn’t capable of going coast to coast, it’s a breath of fresh air for those who know where they need to go and want to get there quickly.

It excels at state-to-state travel and luxury vacationing with recessed walls to accommodate ski transport. The Mustang is incredibly fast, incredibly affordable, and incredibly innovative.

It can carry four passengers.

Featuring simple Garmin G1000 integrated avionics and many automated flight systems, the Mustang requires only one pilot and is ideal for owners who prefer to fly their own jets. Pilots will appreciate clear, consolidated flat panel displays, which make the piloting experience straightforward and intuitive.

This is a huge advantage as it not only provides extreme versatility and flexibility but also significantly reduces the cost of operations. Even if hiring a pilot, the Mustang’s simple one pilot cockpit solidifies its place as one of the most economical private jets available in today’s market.

This jet is one of the most economical jets available for charter flights from and to New York, with a wide range of availability in several major aviation markets. The cost to charter this jet starts at around $2,500 an hour.

Hourly charter rates do not include all taxes, fuel, and other fees. Charter costs will vary based on year of make/model, schedule, routing, passenger & baggage totals, and other factors.
