Mustang Gallops To The Aid Of Air Ambulance Operators On A Budget...

"What a cool concept," we thought, when we first spied the Cessna Mustang air ambulance adaptation accomplished by Cessna and Spectrum Aero-Med... in an industry that lives (and, sadly, dies) as a result of the speed with which an operator can work, the fact that an uncommonly cost-effective entry-level bizjet has been brought into the game is not only smart but offers aid to parts of the world that, in the past, simply couldn't afford the life-saving speed a bizjet offers.

This mod is the result of an inspired partnership. Spectrum Aeromed and Cessna Aircraft teamed together to pre-fit Cessna’s Citation Mustang 510 for an air medical interior during aircraft manufacturing.

The aircraft then comes out of the Cessna factory prewired for Spectrum Aeromed’s air medical equipment, saving aircraft operators a substantial amount of time when compared to retro-fitting an aircraft already in use.

By collaborating on the front end of production, operators are able to purchase an aircraft that is already multi-mission capable without having to wait for wiring modifications or Supplemental Type Certification (STC) acquisition, which can take up to eight months of legwork and engineering time. Spectrum Aeromed holds more than 55 Supplemental Type Certificates (STCs) covering more than 390 models of aircraft.
