Only uses 68.5 gl/hr at cruise. It can climb to 41,000 where fuel efficiency really is good.

[hype143]

actually it burns 90 gph

[CessnaMustang1]

230 lbs/hr per side at FLT LEV 410 actually calculates to less than 68 gl/hr at cruise. 90 gl/hr is a good number for flight planning, including climb, etc.

i love this plane this is so nice and hope to fly it some day

[therquinter]

Is this plane usually owner-flown? More than hiring pilots?

[bmwgtrm3]

im just wondering could this plane fly between continentals ?

I'm just out of flight school, and I have the great pleasure of flying one of these awesome planes. The performance may look modest, but when you put it next to the fuel burn and relative easy flying characteristics, it is absolutely fantastic. I'm not saying it is a plane to be put in anyone's hands, the step is considerably high between a light twin (piston) and that sort of machine, but it's certainly waayyy easier than a Learjet.

@shaneo0306 Yes, it does blend. Just look at images of Cessna crashes. They blend pretty good.

Im Moment fliege ich nur Segelflugzeuge Aber irgendwann .........

[shaneo0306]

sweet, does it blend?

What I like best about this video is that Mr. Dave seems to really appreciate what he has in life and I'm sure worked hard for it. I think someone like him that made their own money gets a lot more out of an experience like this than someone taking a ride on someone elses dime. Good luck to you Mr. Dave and God bless the USA where dreams like this can become reality if you want it bad enough and are wiling to work hard.

It is a good body.

It is cheap also in price and employment cost is also saved.

Next, it will be this if it rides!

i hear that learjets can be tricky to fly compared to pretty much anything else. does the newest generation of cessna citations take care of this? i'm just getting interested in this stuff and kind of clueless.

@16sag7 ......and one on throttles and no other hand for the other controls." Also, insurance premiums are much higher on aircraft certified for SP operations. Especially if that aircraft is pressurized. Annual premium on a new Cessna 182 is around $3,300. For the Citation Mustang its > $20,000. Personally I'd rather fly the Socata TBM-850 it has the same cabin volume, range, and is only 20 kts slower than the Mustang but with %25 less operating costs.
