Cessna’s Citation Mustang team certifies and delivers VLJ on schedule
Announced at the 2002 NBAA Convention, the recently certified Citation Mustang is cementing Cessna’s reputation as an on-time, as-promised manufacturer.

Announced at the 2002 NBAA Convention, the recently certified Citation Mustang is cementing Cessna’s reputation as an on-time, as-promised manufacturer. Certification on September 8 and first delivery on November 22 took place last year on schedule. And the company has received the production certificate and full known-icing approval, with no remaining items left to certify. Cessna expects to deliver 40 Mustangs this year, and the order book stands at more than 250.

The Mustang represents a new class of jet, and while it is larger than other very light jets, Cessna’s choice of the Garmin G1000 avionics suite signals the airplane’s position as an entry-level jet because it will be an easier step-up for pilots who have been flying the company’s modern G1000-equipped piston singles.
