N1956A

This entry describes airframe N1956A, a factory-built Cessna 510 Citation Mustang completed in 2010 with serial number 510-0305. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by individual AUBUCHON JAMES F JR, based in McKinney, TX, US; this ownership is the primary recorded registry action associated with the airframe. The airframe is factory-equipped by Cessna (Textron Aviation) and was originally delivered with the type’s standard turbofan complement; an avionics upgrade to the Garmin G1000 NXi is listed in broker material. The listed market valuation for this specific Mustang is $950,000, reflecting its age, equipment, and owner-reported configuration.

The cabin of N1956A is reported as a typical four-place club executive layout with a belted lavatory; broker materials also list configurations supporting up to 5 passenger seats. Avionics are noted as a Garmin G1000 NXi upgrade, providing integrated flight deck capability suitable for single-pilot or two-pilot operations in the Mustang class. With a cruise speed near 340 kts and a range of 1,167 nm, the airframe is well suited to short to medium-range executive missions such as regional hops and point-to-point corporate travel from its base in McKinney, Texas. Maintenance considerations for this specific unit would follow standard Mustang schedules for hot-section inspections and engine monitoring of the PW615F-A engines; no additional airframe-specific maintenance actions are published.

The Cessna 510 Citation Mustang occupies the very light jet segment, offering owner-operators and charter operators a compact, efficient option with a high-service-ceiling of 41,000 ft and simple single-pilot certification. Competing models historically include other VLJs and piston-turbine light jets; demand typically centers on cost-conscious buyers seeking lower operating costs and compact ramp footprint. For resale and operator considerations, the Mustang’s age (here a 2010 build) and documented avionics upgrade to Garmin G1000 NXi are positive factors, while overall market value near $950,000 reflects depreciation, hours on the airframe and engines, and the niche demand for five-seat light jets.
