N168TY

The airframe bearing registration N168TY is a 2010 build of the Cessna 510 Citation Mustang, serial number 510-0297, manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation). The aircraft is registered to COAST WALK AVIATION LLC, a corporation based in La Jolla, CA, US and appears in US civil aircraft records with a 7-seat certification notation. The listed market valuation for this specific airframe is $1,800,000, and registry entries and sales listings note a standard light-cabin condition consistent with its type and age. The aircraft is registered in the US as a fixed-wing multi-engine airplane.

This airframe is configured in the typical Citation Mustang executive arrangement with a 4‑place club layout in the main cabin, and registry notes and comparable listings reference the aircraft’s 7‑seat certification; some similar 510 installations have reported a side-facing belted lavatory option. The avionics fit reported for N168TY in listings is a Garmin G1000 integrated flight deck with GFC‑700 autopilot variants, a common configuration for the model that supports single-pilot IFR operation. Typical missions for this platform and this airframe include short- to mid-range point-to-point corporate and owner-flown trips within its 1,200 nm range and cruise at approximately 340 kts, operating from coastal bases such as the owner’s La Jolla, CA home region. Maintenance considerations align with light-jet norms for twin PW600-series engines and Garmin glass cockpit avionics support.

The Cessna 510 Citation Mustang occupies the light-jet niche as a four- to seven-seat entry-level business jet, positioned for owner-operators and on-demand charter where runway performance and operating simplicity are priorities. Competing models in its era included other entry-level VLJ and light jets that trade cabin size for lower acquisition and operating costs. For this airframe, noted valuation of $1,800,000 and its factory-standard systems suggest resale and charter appeal tied to condition, avionics upgrades, and engine time—key factors in marketability and maintenance planning.
