The Mustang between New York and Miami

With 1,150 nautical miles of range against a route of roughly 950, the Citation Mustang flies New York to Miami nonstop in favorable conditions, though with a narrow margin. A strong winter headwind, or a full cabin, may on occasion make a brief technical stop the prudent course; we will assess the day's winds and advise plainly, rather than promise a nonstop flight when conditions may not support one.

Its Mach 0.63 cruise makes for a flight of around three hours, and a 41,000-foot ceiling carries it above much of the weather — a modest performer by the standards of the class, but a true and capable jet.

The cabin and its appointments

The cabin seats four against a maximum of five, in a compact, sensibly appointed configuration. It is one of the most intimate jets on this run, best suited to a couple or to four travelers with light luggage, and it offers the speed and altitude of a jet at one of the lowest charter costs in the catalog.

How it compares within the class

The Mustang sits a step below the Citation M2 — its natural successor — in speed and range, and below the Phenom 100EV in cabin refinement. It remains one of the most economical ways into the light-jet class, and a frequent and affordable presence among the empty-leg flights on this city pair.
