N442LV

N442LV is a 2009 Cessna 510 Citation Mustang, serial number 510-0153, operated under U.S. registration and owned by the corporate lessor WACHOB LEASING CO INC, based in Sapulpa, Oklahoma. This specific airframe carries the standard OEM specification for its line, and its corporate ownership reflects typical leasing arrangements for light business jets of its vintage. Registered in the United States and maintained to meet single-pilot certification standards, the jet has an assessed market value of $2,325,000, a figure indicative of its age, configuration, and continuing demand for light, short-range business aircraft. Public records note the airframe’s continuous corporate ownership rather than private individual registration, which can influence usage patterns and dispatching under charter or fractional programs.

The cabin of N442LV is fitted in the standard 4-passenger center‑club executive layout and is certified for single‑pilot operations, supporting short to mid-range point‑to‑point executive travel. Avionics on delivery were the Garmin G1000 integrated flight deck, the common OEM fit for the model, though many Mustang examples later receive avionics upgrades; the installed G1000 suite supports IFR single-pilot dispatch and typical corporate mission avionics needs. With a cruise speed of 340 kts and a practical range of 1,200 nm, the aircraft is typically employed on regional hops and time-sensitive business missions from its operator base in Sapulpa, Oklahoma, and similar regional hubs. The two PW615F-A turbofan engines provide efficient cruise performance but require adherence to manufacturer maintenance intervals customary for light turbofan powerplants.

The Cessna 510 Citation Mustang occupies the light jet niche, offering a balance of operational economy, simple single‑pilot certification, and modest cabin comfort for up to 7 seats. Competing models in the same segment target buyers and charter operators seeking short‑range speed and lower operating costs versus larger midsize jets. In resale and maintenance terms, the Mustang’s market value—$2,325,000 for this 2009 airframe—reflects depreciation, engine and avionics lifecycle considerations, and the prevalence of avionics upgrades among the fleet; owners and lessors often weigh the cost of modernization against remaining airframe life and charter demand.
