N324DR

This entry covers airframe N324DR, a 2009-built Cessna 510 Citation Mustang with serial number 510-0271. The aircraft was manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation) and is owned by Textron Aviation Inc, a corporate owner based in Wichita, KS; the current operator and home base reflect that corporate custody and U.S. registration. Registry actions for this airframe are limited to corporate custody records consistent with factory or company transfer rather than private operator changes. Condition and market valuation notes list the airframe at an estimated value of $2,000,000, indicating a used but serviceable light business jet in corporate hands.

The airframe is configured in a typical 4–5 place executive layout with single-club and forward-facing seating options customary for the Mustang series; this specific example lists a 4–5 place executive layout. avionics for this airframe follow the typical Mustang fit with Garmin integrated avionics (commonly a G1000/flight deck installation), supporting modern glass-panel navigation and situational awareness for single-pilot or dual-pilot operations. Operationally, the aircraft under corporate ownership is suited to short to mid-range executive missions within the continental U.S., exploiting its cruise speed of 340 kts and a practical NBAA IFR range near 1,167 nm. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe align with factory-recommended programs for the PW615F-A engines and Garmin avionics lifecycle management under corporate maintenance oversight.

The Cessna 510 Citation Mustang occupies the entry-level very light jet niche, offering light-jet speed and altitude with compact operating costs relative to larger Citation models. Competing aircraft in its segment historically include light jets from Embraer and Eclipse-era designs; for buyers and charter operators the Mustang is valued for simple single-pilot operation, low runway performance, and a well-known avionics package. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect typical wear factors for a 2009 airframe, supportability tied to Pratt & Whitney Canada engine programs, and a market valuation around $2,000,000 that buyers reference when assessing trade-in or fleet-refresh options.
