EASA delivers Mustang’s certificate
Cessna has received European Aviation Safety Agency airworthiness approval for the Citation Mustang, the first very light jet to be certified on this side

Cessna has received European Aviation Safety Agency airworthiness approval for the Citation Mustang, the first very light jet to be certified on this side of the Atlantic. Deliveries to European buyers are expected to begin “later this summer,” according to Cessna chairman, president and chief executive Jack Pelton.

Cessna has booked orders for 300 Mustang’s, 100 of them destined for Europe. The airplane has been approved to operate steep instrument approaches at an angle of more than 4.5 degrees, the first step toward gaining approval for operations at European city center airports like London City with non-standard approach glidepaths.
