Development

The Mustang first flew on 23 April 2005. 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.^[1] Cessna delivered the first production VLJ to Mustang Management Group of Fresno, California on November 23, 2006, the same day the FAA awarded Cessna with the necessary certification.^[2] is the 113th day of the year (114th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

The Mustang was the first of its class to receive full type certification, first to receive certification to fly into known-icing conditions, the first VLJ to be delivered to a customer, and makes Cessna the first company to obtain an FAA Production Certificate for a VLJ.

Design

The Mustang airframe is constructed primarily of aluminum alloys, with a three spar wing group. One main door is located in the forward left section of the aircraft, with an additional emergency exit situated on the center right section of the fuselage. Aluminum is a soft and lightweight metal with a dull silvery appearance, due to a thin layer of oxidation that forms quickly when it is exposed to air. ... In an aircraft, the spar is the main structural member of the wing, running lengthways across the span of the wing, at right angles (or thereabouts) to the fuselage. ... Emergency Exit, by Manlio Santanelli, is a play written originally in Italian. ...

Unlike many light jets, there is no overhead panel – instead, all the switches and gauges are on the instrument panel and centre console. The console also carries the thrust levers, pitch trim wheel and co-located indicator, flap lever, an alphanumeric keypad for the Flight Management System and the switches for aileron and rudder trim. Jets are traditionally fitted with ‘thrust levers’, but the Mustang’s are labeled as ‘throttles’. Speculated to be a clever marketing ploy to enhance the aircraft’s attractiveness to pilots trading up from a piston twin. The instrument panel is dominated by the huge, centrally mounted 38cm multi-function display (MFD) and each pilot has a large Primary Flight Display (PFD). ^[3] A Flight Managment System is a little computer onboard almost every aircraft that will guide the aircraft to it designated destination. ... MFD Avidyne MFD used in many General Aviation aircraft A Multi-function display (MFD) is a small screen (CRT or LCD) in an aircraft surrounded by multiple buttons that can be used to display information to the pilot in numerous configurable ways. ...

Two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW615F turbofan engines, mounted in pods on the aft fuselage, power the aircraft. The landing gear is fully retractable and are equipped with anti-skid protection. The Cessna Mustang can be configured with a toilet located between the cockpit and passenger cabin. Pratt & Whitney Canada (PWC) is a Canadian aircraft engine manufacturer. ...

An anti-lock braking system (ABS) (translated from German, Antiblockiersystem) is a system on motor vehicles which prevents the wheels from locking while braking. ...

Cessna does not consider the Mustang to be a typical VLJ for several reasons, including the fact that its design is based on the company's experience with larger jets, and it is certified to the same jet standards as the CJ series jets.^[4]
