N510PR Aircraft Overview
Performance Profile
Turboprop performance from N510PR: 133 knots, 820 NM, and 18,800-foot ceiling. The De Havilland DHC-3's 1x P&W R-1340 Wasp (or PT6 upgrade) burn significantly less fuel per hour than jet alternatives, which is the category's defining advantage.
Mission Profile
For regional missions with moderate passenger loads, the De Havilland DHC-3 provides the best economics. N510PR seats 10 in a 16.4 ft cabin that handles the distances and airports that define turboprop operations.
Charter Authorization
This De Havilland DHC-3 is authorized for charter under N510PR's Part 135 certificate. Turboprops deliver the private aviation experience at the lowest hourly cost. Contact us for a quote.
Insider Note
Turboprops remain the first choice for operations requiring unpaved runway access, cold-weather starts, and short-field performance. N510PR's De Havilland DHC-3 airframe is built for exactly these conditions.
Charter & Acquisition Briefing
Registration N510PR is a Citation Mustang held by TALKEETNA AIR TAXI INC. Cessna delivered over 470 Mustangs before production ended. This briefing covers what matters for charter or acquisition on this registration.
Fleet Position
Over 470 Citation Mustangs were delivered, with approximately 300 on active U.S. registrations. FAA data shows N510PR based in TALKEETNA, AK. The Mustang is single-pilot certified with the Garmin G1000 avionics suite, making it the default aircraft for owner-pilots stepping up from turboprops. Charter availability is moderate; many Mustangs are owner-flown rather than Part 135 operated.
Charter Availability
N510PR is Part 135 charter authorized. Mustang charter rates range from $1,800 to $2,800 per flight hour, the lowest in the jet category. The tradeoff is clear: the Mustang seats 4 passengers maximum in a cabin that does not allow standing, and there is no enclosed lavatory. For 2 to 4 passengers on routes under 1,000 nm, the Mustang delivers jet speed at turboprop prices.
Mission Profile
The Mustang handles routes between 200 and 1,100 nautical miles. New York to Charleston in 2 hours. Chicago to Nashville in 1 hour 20 minutes. Dallas to Austin in 40 minutes. At 340 knots cruise and FL410 ceiling, the Mustang provides genuine jet performance for 2 to 4 passengers on regional routes where commercial connections are inconvenient.
When to Choose Something Else
Pass on the Mustang if cabin pressure altitude sensitivity is a concern. The Mustang maintains 8,000-foot cabin at FL410, which is standard for the category but higher than larger jets that maintain 6,000 to 6,500 feet. On flights over 2 hours, the cabin altitude difference is noticeable for sensitive passengers. A Phenom 300 at 6,600-foot cabin altitude provides measurably better comfort.
Ownership & Operations
Aircraft management companies handle the operational complexity of jet ownership. They provide crew, maintenance tracking, regulatory compliance, insurance, and hangar coordination. Management fees run $8,000 to $25,000 per month depending on aircraft size. For owners who fly 100 to 300 hours annually, professional management reduces risk and administrative burden while maintaining access to Part 135 charter revenue.
Pre-Purchase Considerations
Engine program enrollment significantly affects aircraft value and operating economics. Programs like Rolls-Royce CorporateCare, Pratt & Whitney Eagle Service Plan, and Honeywell MSP spread major engine costs into predictable hourly rates. Aircraft enrolled in these programs command 10 to 20% higher resale values than non-enrolled equivalents because buyers avoid the risk of unbudgeted engine overhauls.
