N771KB

This entry documents airframe N771KB, a 2010-built Cessna 510 Citation Mustang with serial number 510-0351. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by LUCKY STARS LLC, a corporation based in Missoula, MT, US, reflecting its corporate operator status and home-base region. The airframe appears in contemporary listings with a noted value of $1,875,000, and sales material for this specific airframe referenced a single-pilot certified executive interior and avionics fit typical for light business jet operation. No additional registry incidents or historical ownership transfers beyond the current corporate registration were provided.

The cabin of N771KB is configured as a single-pilot certified executive layout for 4–5 passengers with forward seating and an aft lavatory/seat; a sales listing for this airframe specifically noted dual executive writing tables as cabin furnishings. The flight deck is equipped with a Garmin G1000 flight deck augmented by Synthetic Vision and a Garmin GFC700 autopilot installation; additional safety and comm/navigation fit includes Class B EGPWS, dual Mode-S transponders and an optional satellite datalink (GDL-69A) noted in the equipment list. Typical missions for this airframe would include short to mid-range point-to-point corporate or charter trips from its Montana base, exploiting the Mustang’s efficient cruise of 340 kts and a practical range of 1,167 nm. Maintenance considerations follow light-jet norms for two PW615F turbine engines and single-pilot certification operational checks.

The Cessna 510 Citation Mustang occupies the very light jet segment as a small, efficient business jet for owner-operators and charter operators seeking single-pilot operation and low operating costs relative to larger Citation models. In-market competition typically includes other VLJ entries offering similar ranges and payloads; demand is driven by owner-operators and small charter fleets. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific airframe tie closely to engine PW615F lifecycle status, avionics modernization (Garmin G1000/Synthetic Vision), and the aircraft’s certificated single-pilot capability, all factors that influence valuation around the stated $1,875,000 mark.
