N778BC

The airframe bearing registration N778BC is a 2011 Cessna Citation Mustang (Model 510) with serial number 510-0380. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by the corporation J & H Equipment Leasing LLC, based in Santa Teresa / Anthony, NM, US. The airframe remains on the books of its corporate owner and is commonly noted in regional operator listings for light business-jet leasing. Current valuation of this specific airframe is listed at $1,800,000, reflecting market considerations for a 2011 Mustang with its installed equipment and hours typical of a corporate-leased asset.

The cabin of N778BC is configured with four-place club seating, complemented by a forward side-facing non-belted toilet and forward and aft baggage compartments, a layout consistent with corporate light-jet missions. Avionics are fitted with a Garmin G1000 suite, and many 2011 Model 510 airframes are commonly found with NXi upgrades; this airframe’s avionics fit supports single-pilot or two-pilot operations depending on operator configuration. Typical missions for this Mustang include short- to medium-range business point-to-point trips within the continental US, exploiting its 1,167 nm range and 340-knot cruise speed for efficient regional connectivity. Based on corporate ownership in Santa Teresa / Anthony, NM, the aircraft would be suited to serving regional energy, manufacturing, or leasing customer movements, with maintenance and storage considerations typical of fixed-wing multi-engine light jets.

The Cessna Citation Mustang (Model 510) occupies the entry-level very light jet niche, offering efficient short-haul performance, modest operating costs, and simple systems compared with larger business jets. Competitors in its class include other light/very-light jets that target owner-operators and small-cabin charter operators; resale and charter demand for 2011 Mustangs depends heavily on avionics upgrades (such as G1000 NXi), engine time, and maintenance status. For an airframe like N778BC, marketability and maintenance considerations will center on PW615F engine time, avionics modernization, and the aircraft’s corporate maintenance history, all of which influence depreciation and lease value in a constrained pre-owned market.
