Certification and first delivery for the Cessna Citation Mustang programme are now both scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2006 and the Mustang prototypes, serial number 0001 and serial number 0002, have accumulated more than 850 total flight hours.

Cessna says that all major airframe static tests are complete and the current focus of certification flights is on avionics and autopilot, systems, and stability and control.

Mustang assembly tooling is fully transitioned to Cessna's Independence, Kansas, facility. Serial number 0004 will be the company's first aircraft to be fully assembled outside of Wichita. The Independence facility also produces Cessna's single engine piston aircraft.

With more than 230 orders, the Citation Mustang is sold out into 2009.
