N280AZ

The airframe bearing tail N280AZ is a 2008-built Cessna 510 Citation Mustang, serial number 510-0061, currently registered in the United States. It is recorded as owned by Flying Arrows LLC, an LLC based in Kalispell, MT, US, and typically operated from that home base. The aircraft remains on U.S. registry with no public record in this summary of major incidents or deregistrations; ownership is held by a private LLC rather than a commercial operator. Condition and valuation details are not published in the supplied data.

This individual Citation Mustang features club-style seating for 4–5 passengers in the forward cabin with a total seating capacity of 7, a small aft lavatory, and a baggage compartment of approximately 63 cu ft. The airplane is typically equipped with the Garmin G1000 avionics suite, with note that some aircraft of this type have been upgraded to the G1000 NXi in operator fleets. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include short to mid-range business trips within the Mustang’s 1,150 nm radius, point-to-point charters or owner-flown trips from its base in Kalispell, MT. Maintenance considerations for this airframe align with light-jet multi-engine schedules, including engine-specific care for the Pratt & Whitney Canada PW615F-A powerplants and avionics life-cycle updates should the owner elect an NXi upgrade.

The Cessna 510 Citation Mustang family occupies the entry-level very light jet niche, offering cruise speeds around 340 kts and useful short-to-medium range capability to airports inaccessible to larger jets. Competing models historically include other VLJs and turbofan light jets that trade cabin size and range for lower acquisition and operating costs. Demand among owner-operators and small charter operators remains tied to operating economics, avionics modernity (G1000 vs. G1000 NXi), and regional maintenance support for PW615-series engines, all factors relevant to resale and ongoing operating costs for this specific airframe.
