N789TS

This entry covers airframe N789TS, a factory-built Cessna 510 Citation Mustang completed in 2012 with serial number 510-0395. Ownership is recorded to KENMORE CREW LEASING INC TRUSTEE, a corporation based in Bellingham, WA, US, and the aircraft is registered in the US. The airframe retains its original manufacturer designation from Cessna Aircraft Company and has reported avionics work including a Garmin G1000 NXi upgrade; the trustee ownership and avionics upgrade are notable registry and equipment items for this specific airframe.

The cabin layout for N789TS follows the typical Mustang configuration with a 4-place executive club and fore and aft baggage compartments, supporting seven-seat certification with a small executive interior and dedicated luggage stowage. Avionics for this airframe are reported as Garmin G1000 (NXi upgrade reported), which supports modern situational awareness and flight management capability for light jet missions. Typical operations for this airframe type and this operator profile include short- to mid-range business or charter hops within the aircraft’s 1,150 nm capability and cruise speeds around 340 kts, often from bases in the owner’s region of Bellingham, WA, US. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe would reflect standard Mustang program requirements, including twin PW615F-A engine support and avionics software/upgrade management for the G1000 NXi suite.

The Cessna 510 Citation Mustang occupies the entry-level light jet niche, offering single-pilot capability, efficient short-field performance and relatively low operating costs compared with larger business jets. With two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW615F-A engines producing 1,460 lbf each and a service ceiling of 41,000 ft, the model competes against other light jets for owner-operators and small charter operators seeking 4–7 passenger capability on regional missions. For resale and operator demand, aircraft like N789TS benefit from factory avionics upgrades such as the G1000 NXi and clear corporate ownership, while maintenance and parts support considerations focus on PW615F-A serviceability and Mustang-specific inspection cycles.
