N510CF

This entry documents airframe N510CF, a 2007-built Cessna 510 Citation Mustang bearing serial number 510-0045. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by Empower Air 3 LLC of Richardson, TX, US, which is the recorded operator/home base for this airframe. No prior ownership transfers or notable registry actions are published beyond the current LLC registration; valuation records indicate a market value of $1,800,000, reflecting a light executive jet in typical condition for its type and vintage.

The installed cabin for N510CF follows the standard Mustang layout: a four‑place center‑club executive cabin with forward galley and belted lavatory, delivering a compact executive interior optimized for short, high-frequency missions. Avionics are recorded as the typical factory Garmin G1000 fit; many fleet Mustangs later received G1000 NXi upgrades, though no specific upgrade history beyond the factory fit is published for this airframe. Operationally, the aircraft’s combination of short-to-medium range (approximately 1,167 nm) and a cruise of 340 kts suits point-to-point regional executive flights, owner-flown or operated by a small flight department based in Richardson, TX. Maintenance considerations for this airframe align with typical light-jet schedules for the PW615F-A engines and airframe inspections at its current valuation class.

The Cessna 510 Citation Mustang occupies the entry-level very light jet niche, offering efficient short-field performance and single-pilot capabilities for owner-operators and fractional/charter operators. With two PW615F-A turbofans rated at 1,460 lbf each, the Mustang competes against other VLJs and light jets in missions under 1,200 nm where operating costs and access to smaller airports are priorities. Resale and maintenance considerations for N510CF reflect typical Mustang market dynamics: strong demand for clean, well-documented examples, sensitivity to avionics configuration (factory G1000 vs. NXi upgrades), and engine life remaining on PW615F-A modules.
