Development


Launched at the 2002 NBAA convention, the $2.4 million Mustang first flew on April 23, 2005.[1] The airplane received full type certification from the Federal Aviation Administration on September 8, 2006. Cessna received FAA certification to fly into "known icing conditions" on November 9, 2006.[4] Cessna delivered the first production LJ on November 22, 2006, the same day the FAA awarded Cessna with the necessary certification.[5] Dave and Dawn Goode of GOODE Ski Technologies received the first retail delivered Cessna Mustang on April 23, 2007.[6]

In 2010, Cessna launched an enhanced edition of the aircraft called the High Sierra, which features higher quality cabin furnishings and enhanced avionics, including synthetic vision.[7] In 2015, its unit cost was $3.35 million USD.[8]

Cessna ended production of the design in May 2017 due to lack of customer demand for the aircraft as a result of competition from the company's own Cessna Citation M2. The company had been selling an average of 40 Mustangs per year until the M2 was introduced in 2013, and then Mustang sales dropped to just 24 aircraft over the next three years. The M2 is a faster and larger aircraft, but it can operate from similar length runways and requires the more-common C/E-525 type rating, which potentially reduces training and crewing costs over the Mustang.[9][10] A total of 479 examples of the Citation Mustang were produced.[3]

In 2018, used 2009-2016 Mustangs were priced at $1.85-2.5 million.[11]

The Mustang is a low-wing cantilever monoplane with a swept wing, T-tail and retractable tricycle gear. One main door is located in the forward left section of the aircraft, with an additional emergency exit on the center right section of the fuselage. In its standard configuration, the Mustang has four passenger seats in the aft cabin, a toilet, and seating for two in the cockpit. The airframe is primarily of aluminum alloy construction and has a three spar wing. Power is provided by two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW615F turbofans mounted in pods on the aft fuselage. The aircraft was built at the Cessna production facility in Independence, Kansas.

Like many other light jets, the Mustang is approved for single-pilot operation.[12]

Operators


Half of the fleet is in the U.S. and Canada, mostly operated by firms or individuals owning a single aircraft and typically flown by their owners, with some owners defraying a portion of the fixed operating costs by sharing use with air charters. Outside of North America, most are exclusively flown by third-party crews. Most of the other half of the fleet is based in Europe: 23 aircraft in the British Isles, 20 aircraft in Austria, 20 in France, 11 in Germany, six in the Czech Republic, five in Switzerland and four in Italy. In Latin America, Brazil has 31 aircraft, there are 10 in Mexico, three in Argentina, two in Venezuela and one each in Chile, Guatemala, Panama and Paraguay. In the Middle East four are in Turkey, as in Egypt and two are in Israel. Six are in Africa, nine in Australia and five in New Zealand.[2]
