The Mustang has an emergency lav under the side facing seat in front of the cabin, it is separated from the cockpit by a curtain, but not from the rest of the cabin, so you would all have to be close friends if you wanted to use it. The area above the seat is also a designated baggage area ( 30 lbs I think) with a restraint net, so it may well not be available anyway.
Very nice interior and cockpit layout, it appears to be more spacious than a 525, more thought gone in to systems and build standard than other Citation models.

Performance
At this point I presume line training has been conducted in some form- how do the performance figures for the Mustang stack up?
What sort of runway figures for MAUW Take Off at ISA? Runway required for Landing at Max landing weight?
What's the range with four pax + 2 pilots for planning? Whats LRC speed between FL 35-FL41? Are they capable climbing straight to FL370 at MAUW?
Thanks in advance..

Now, now Daifly - perfection doesnt come as easily to others as it obviously does to you.
Did think it was odd that LEA would be pushing this info on what was mainly brokers and operators, i.e. those who will be using the mustang through LEA on a commercial basis when there is simply no way the aircraft will make africa, sofia OR Sophia!! non stop.

I think you'll find when 'Africa' has been mentioned they are talking about the likes of Algiers. Not Marrakech etc. It is certainly marketing talk but ...
Not unreasonable with the right load on the right day, only a 150nm odd miles south of Ibiza.
Not the sort of flying this aircraft is going to be expected to do.
Frallifraxer : Yes ! always going to be two crew for commercial operation.
Performance wise I am led to believe the aircraft is proving to be far better than the booked figures and Cessna are likely to be re-issuing performance data in the future.

Mustang FTD
Mustang FTD all ready to go at FSI Farnborough. I know it's a nice piece of kit 'cos I've been running acceptance checks on it. Small cockpit but easy to get in to because of very short centre console.
FFS arrives in April for training in mid-May. Bet it's mostly people thinking of going on the waiting list to buy one.
You can have a trip in mine if I can have a trip in yours. LOL.

Has anyone currently flying the Mustang ( or similar) flown the King Air 300.
I would consider the King Air to be a superior A/C overall.
In an ideal world were you buy a Mustang for a very specific purpose, say 900 mile, FL 350-370 2 pax, the Mustang would be superior no doubt. But as soon as you are in the way because you are too slow and are given FL 290-310 and or you take 4 pax the advantages are out the window.
On the King air you would be planning at FL 240 to FL 270 anyways. Plus much more confortable cabin etc. At these FL the King Air is almost as fast and has tons more range and flexibility.
FOR $ 3.000.000 you can buy a 1 year old Mustang or an older, but very nice, King Air. The King air also seems like a much better built "solid" A/C.
I see the Mustang as a Mazda Miata, very nice for a 40 mile summer drive in a mountain road but would probably prefer a 15 year old, well taken care of, Mercedes E class. More confortable, more pax, etc.
Anyone out there?
