N630DB

This article concerns airframe N630DB, a 2008-built Cessna 510 Citation Mustang with serial number 510-0130. The aircraft was manufactured by Cessna Aircraft Company (Textron Aviation) and is recorded as owned by CHALLENGE TOOL & MANUFACTURING INC, a corporation based in New Haven, IN, US. Registered in the United States, the airframe’s records indicate typical corporate single-owner stewardship and a market valuation listed at $1,995,000. No additional registry transfers or notable incidents are published for this specific airframe in the provided dataset.

The airframe is outfitted with a four-place executive cabin featuring a forward cockpit and aft cabin seating arranged around a writing table, along with an enclosed lavatory provision, indicating use for short-range corporate or owner-flown missions. Avionics installed on this specific Mustang include the Garmin G1000 NXi suite with dual GDU-1050A PFDs and a GDU-1550 MFD, a GFC-700 autopilot, GWX-68 weather radar, and a GTX-345DR transponder—an integrated fit aimed at single-pilot IFR capability and modern situational awareness. Typical mission profiles for this configuration would include regional point-to-point travel within the aircraft’s roughly 1,150 nm radius and rapid transport for small corporate teams. Maintenance considerations for this airframe center on twin PW615F-A turbofan upkeep and Garmin NXi avionics lifecycle management as part of ongoing operator support.

The Cessna 510 Citation Mustang occupies the very light jet niche, offering compact executive accommodations, single-pilot certification potential, and efficient short-haul performance. With a cruise speed near 340 kts and a service ceiling of 41,000 ft, the Mustang competes against other VLJs for owner-operators and small corporate flight departments. Market demand typically favors airframes with modern avionics like the Garmin G1000 NXi and well-documented maintenance histories; resale values such as the listed $1,995,000 reflect airframe age, installed options, and operator records for units of this serial series.
