N105J

The airframe bearing registration N105J is a 2009-built Cessna 510 Citation Mustang with serial number 510-0277. It is registered in the United States and is owned by BRAVO AVIATION LLC, an LLC based in Belmond, Iowa, which appears as the primary operator/home base for this aircraft. The airframe’s factory completion as an executive Mustang and its documented ownership by a small LLC are the primary noted registry events for this tail. Current valuation and condition highlights list the aircraft at $2,100,000, reflecting the market position for late-2000s light jets in continued service.

This specific Mustang retains a typical factory executive interior arranged as a four-place club with a belted auxiliary lav/seat, consistent with the aircraft’s completion for four primary passengers plus the belted lav seat. The onboard avionics package is the Garmin G1000 integrated flightdeck, a factory-standard fit on many Mustangs and providing a consolidated glass cockpit for single-pilot or two-pilot operations. Operationally, the aircraft’s range of 1,200 nm and cruise of 340 kts suit short to mid-range business missions, regional charters, or owner-flown trips from its Iowa base. Maintenance considerations for this airframe align with light-jet practices for twin PW615F-A engines and the avionics suite, which can influence avionics upgrade cycles and engine shop visit scheduling.

The Cessna 510 Citation Mustang occupies the light-jet niche for owner/operators and small charter operators seeking economical short-haul capability with a compact executive cabin. Competing models in the market include other entry-level VLJs and light jets that offer similar mission profiles, though the Mustang’s factory Garmin G1000 fit and the PW615F series engines define its operating costs and support network. For buyers and brokers, factors such as year of manufacture (2009), serial 510-0277 lineage, and the documented ownership by BRAVO AVIATION LLC contribute to resale considerations and marketability in the pre-owned light-jet segment.
