Where it fits under charter rules, calm air
Click the runway figure to open the official aerodrome chart and check it. Declared distance from AISWEB (2026-09-05); where none exists, physical length is used.
Pro feature. Available on your Jet Tracker account.
Manufacturer-published distances at sea level, ISA and reference weight. Not corrected for altitude, temperature, wind or runway condition, takeoff included. Uses the declared LDA as a proxy for effective runway length (RBAC 135.361) and the most favourable threshold in calm air (135.385(b)(1)): on the day, wind may force the shorter threshold. Destination only: does not assess the alternate aerodrome (135.387). Not a substitute for the AFM or the operator's performance analysis. Rule: RBAC 135.385 and 135.398; private flying (RBAC 91) is not factored. Runways: declared distance (LDA) from AISWEB/DECEA (2026-09-05), checkable on each aerodrome chart; where DECEA publishes no declared distance, physical length from OurAirports is used.

Curiosities and highlights
Benefits
Custo direto sub-USD 1.000/h: o jato mais barato de operar
Com motores PW615F-A de baixo consumo e MTOW de apenas ~3.920 kg, o Mustang é frequentemente citado como o jato executivo de menor custo direto operacional do mundo, abaixo de USD 1.000/h em condições otimistas.
Cabine de 1,37 m de altura: mais apertada que CJ1 e Phenom 100
O Mustang é genuinamente apertado: cabine de pé impossível (~1,37 m) e largura limitada. Aceita 4 PAX confortáveis ou 5 sob desconforto, limitação aceita pelo público owner-flown que prioriza custo sobre conforto.
Curiosities
Avionics Garmin G1000 de série: incomum em jatos da época
O Mustang foi um dos primeiros jatos executivos a usar o Garmin G1000 (mesma plataforma de aviões pistão da família), em vez de Collins Pro Line ou Honeywell, decisão que baixou custo de aquisição e de treinamento de pilotos.
