Cessna
Citation Mustang
The Mustang is a 340-knot, 1,167-nm six-seater that has become the dominant airplane in the newly emergent light jet market. Cessna won’t call the Mustang a VLJ (very light jet); instead, they insist it’s a light-light jet; it has an 8,645-lb max takeoff weight. Either way, the Mustang’s Pratt & Whitney PW615F engines of 1,460 lbst each give the airplane a max operating altitude of 41,000 feet. The Garmin G1000 integrated avionics suite is standard, as are four club seats and one side-facing, non-belted toilet seat.
