N420KC

This article describes a specific airframe, the small business jet registered as N420KC, a factory-built Cessna Citation Mustang (Model 510) delivered in 2009 with serial number 510-0223. The aircraft is owned and operated by KILOCHARLIE AIR LLC based in Scottsdale, AZ, US, and is an active US-registered, fixed-wing, multi-engine airplane. The airframe carries a market valuation of approximately $2,000,000 and is maintained in line with light-jet operating norms; no additional registry actions or prior owners are published in the provided data.

The interior of N420KC is arranged for short to medium-range executive transport with club-style seating for four passengers in the aft cabin, two cockpit seats, and a small aft lavatory with limited baggage space, matching the typical Mustang cabin plan. Avionics are fitted with the integrated Garmin G1000 suite, supporting single-pilot or two-pilot operations within the Mustang’s certification envelope. With a cruise speed of 340 kts and a practical range of 1,167 nm, this airframe is suited to point-to-point regional missions, air taxi work, and owner-flown business trips from its Scottsdale base. Maintenance considerations follow light-jet schedules for Pratt & Whitney Canada PW615F-A engines and the Citation Mustang airframe; the limited baggage capacity and small lavatory define typical mission domestic day-use profiles.

The Cessna Citation Mustang (Model 510) occupies the entry-level very light jet niche, offering single-pilot certification, efficient short-field performance, and lower operating costs relative to larger light jets. With a service ceiling of 41,000 ft and the twin PW615F-A engines producing 1,460 lbf each, the model competes with other VLJs and entry-level light jets for owner-operators and charter operators seeking economical regional capability. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect the Mustang’s compact cabin, limited baggage capacity, and the aftermarket support for PW615 series engines; the indicated valuation of $2,000,000 places N420KC within typical market ranges for late-2000s Mustang examples.
