Cessna received the FAA production certificate for its new Citation Mustang very light jet on November 22, two-and-a-half months after type certification on September 8. By issuing the production certificate, the FAA cleared Cessna for volume production and to conduct flight tests and sign airworthiness certificates using its own designees and with less FAA involvement.

Cessna delivered the first Mustang on November 22 to Mustang Management Group of Fresno, Calif., which is leasing the jet back to the airframer to use as a demonstrator for 10 months. Mustang Management Group plans to use the Mustang for its flight-training subsidiary, Scott Aircraft, based at Fresno YosemiteInternational Airport.
