Mustang VLJ for the Flight1 Citation Mustang Very Light Jet adds six adventure flights for the Citation pilot. A series of six missions begins in Kelowna, BC, Canada and continues to the coast and then southward, ending up at SanLuis Obispo.
As Cessna puts it, "At just under 400 mph (630 km/hr), the Mustang is an ideal balance of Citation good looks, performance and efficiency. It's pure-jet performance will enable you to take off from just 3,110 feet (948 m) of runway, climb swiftly to 41,000 feet (12,497 m) and fly 1,150 nautical miles (2,130 km). And with its more-than-ample storage area, advanced engine controls and sleek aerodynamic design, the Mustang is the bold, smart choice for an entire new generation of jet-aspiring aviators."
With outstanding performance, the Mustang VLJ is powered by two dual channel FADEC controlled, Pratt & Whitney Canada PW615F turbofan engines. The engine is a 2.8:1 bypass ratio, counter-rotating twin-spool design with three compression stages and two turbine stages. It produces 1,460 pounds (6.49 kN) of thrust at sea level,

Now Combat Planes Pilatus Adventures and Mustang VLJ brings your FSX experience to life. Your virtual first officer handles the communications as you receive your departure clearance at CYLW in Kelowna, BC. You are carrying corporate passengers to the coast in style.
After you reach your destination you are scheduled to continue south to Seattle, picking up passengers for Portland. In a variety of weather conditions you face predictable and unpredictable challenges to keeping on time and on track.
Portland is nearly midway on your journey south. Next you head for Eugene, picking up passengers for Medford. A fault grounds your aircraft for a day or two, but the company has two so you can start bright and early.
Now the weather is clear and sunny, and you continue south to Oakland, this time a high altitude transit at 42,000 feet. Then its southeast to Merced and Mammoth Lakes. Coming down over the Caldera, you land late in the evening and kick back until morning.
The following day is no rest for a working pilot, and after checking the weather you are off to Bakersfield. You have to pay special attention to a VIP here, and then to the coast and SanLuis Obispo. With six flights and a few choices along the way, your flight plan is filed and the engines are warm: are you ready to fly?
