N888GS

This entry covers airframe N888GS, a 2009 Cessna 510 Citation Mustang built as serial 510-0209 and manufactured by Cessna Aircraft Company. The airframe is owned by CMI HOLDINGS LLC, registered in the United States and based in Aspen, CO, US. Registry entries note certification for up to five passengers in single-pilot configuration with typical four-place executive club seating, while the formal registry entries list 7 seats and the aircraft carries a reported current valuation of $1,995,000. Maintenance status and historical maintenance events are not published in the supplied data.

The cabin layout on this specific Citation Mustang is a typical four-place executive club arrangement used for single-pilot operations, certified for up to five passengers though registry entries list 7 seats; this reflects differences between factory interior fit and registry configuration. The aircraft is fitted with a Garmin G1000-based avionics suite, specifically GDU-1040/1500 displays, and a GFC-700 autopilot as the typical factory fit, supporting modern glass-cockpit single-pilot operations. With a cruise speed of 340 knots and a range of 1,167 nm the airframe is well suited to short- to mid-range business missions from its Aspen, Colorado base, operating regional hops and point-to-point trips at high-altitude airports. Unique maintenance considerations for this airframe would center on the twin PW615F-A engines and avionics installations typical of the model, though specific logs and service history for this tail number are not provided.

The Cessna 510 Citation Mustang occupies the light jet niche for owner-operators and small charter operators seeking single-pilot capable, small-cabin jets with efficient short-range performance. With a ceiling of 41,000 ft and cruise near 340 kts the type competes against other very light jets for similar missions, influencing buyer demand among owner-pilots and on-demand charter operators. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe emphasize engine overhaul cycles for the PW615F-A engines, avionics support for the Garmin G1000-based suite, and the market perception tied to configuration differences such as the mixed reporting of certification for five passengers versus registry listing of 7 seats.
