PHOENIX EAST AVIATION ORDERS CITATION MUSTANGS

Daytona Beach, Florida, USA –- Phoenix East Aviation, Inc. (PEA), a professional flight
training academy in Daytona Beach, Florida, has announced placement of an order for
two new Cessna Citation Mustang aircraft. The Mustang is the new, highly sought-after
twin-engine business jet by Cessna. These new Mustangs will join Phoenix East’s fleet
of Diamond DA-42, Piper PA-34, Cessna C-172SP, and Decathlon 8KCAB aircraft.
The Model 510 is in the “very light jet” (VLJ) class of business jets; however, it is not a
typical VLJ, as it is certified to the same jet standards as the CJ series and its design is
based on Cessna’s extensive experience with larger jets. It is also certified for single pilot
operations for U.S. registered aircraft.

The Mustang is equipped with two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW615F turbofan engines.
The aircraft has retractable tricycle landing gear and a T-tail. A pressurized cabin
accommodates a crew of two and up to four passengers in club seating arrangement.
With a speed of 340 KTAS (630 km/hr or 391 mph), the Mustang is faster than oldtechnology turboprops requires only a 3,110 ft takeoff runway length and 2,390 ft landing
runway length. The maximum altitude is 41,000 ft (12,497 m) with a range of 1,150 nm.
Many of Phoenix East Aviation’s training aircraft are equipped with Garmin G1000
integrated avionics systems, just as the Cessna Mustang is. The glass cockpit
consolidates all primary flight, navigation, engine and sensor data into easy-to-scan flat
panel displays. Located between the flight deck’s two 10.4 inch Primary Flight Displays
(PFDs) is a 15 inch Multi-Function Display (MFD) – the largest on any business jet.
Phoenix East Aviation, Inc. provides comprehensive pilot training, specializing in
professional flight instruction. FAR Part 141, private, commercial and multi-engine
professional programs and FAR Part 61 courses are offered. The school is nationally
accredited and is approved to offer Veteran Benefits under the G.I. Bill, as well as

has been in continuous operation since 1972
