N680DE

This article covers a specific airframe, N680DE, a Cessna 510 Citation Mustang built by Cessna in 2007 with manufacturer serial 510-0005. The aircraft is registered in the US and is recorded as owned by REGENT TRUST CORP TRUSTEE, a corporate owner based in Wichita, KS, US; the registration records list a total of seven seats for the airframe. The airframe is equipped with modern avionics and small executive cabin amenities consistent with light business jet operation. The registry entry assigning ownership to REGENT TRUST CORP TRUSTEE is the primary recorded administrative action for this airframe in the supplied data.

The cabin configuration is described as an executive layout typically fitted for 4–5 passenger seats in normal private operations while the registry lists 7 seats in total; the fitted cabin includes a small galley and a belted lavatory. Avionics are provided by a Garmin G1000 integrated flight deck, supporting single-pilot operation in many commercial and private configurations. With a cruise speed of 340 kts and a range of 1,200 nm, the airframe is suited to short- to mid-range point-to-point business missions, city-to-city charters, and owner-flown trips from its Wichita base. Maintenance considerations for this specific serial would focus on the PW615F-A turbofan modules and airframe items common to early-production Citation Mustangs.

The Cessna 510 Citation Mustang occupies the light, entry-level business jet niche, offering single-pilot certification, a compact executive cabin, and low operating costs relative to larger jets. Competing models in this performance band include other very light jets and entry-level light jets that emphasize short-field performance and lower acquisition cost. For a 2007 airframe like 510-0005, buyers and charter operators typically weigh engine time on the PW615F-A pair, G1000 avionics currency, and cabin configuration when assessing maintenance and resale value. The Mustang’s combination of a 41,000 ft service ceiling and 340 kts cruise keeps it relevant for operators seeking efficient regional connectivity.
