Elliott Aviation has delivered its fifth installation of the Garmin G600 TXi display and GFC 600 autopilot in a Cessna CitationJet. Available for the CJ1 and CJ2, the upgrade includes touchscreen displays and an engine indication system and takes as few as 25 working days to complete.
Thus far, Elliott Aviation has installed more than 90 Garmin G5000 systems in Citation Excels and Beechjet/Hawker 400XPs, and more than 425 G1000/G1000 NXi upgrades in King Airs.
The CJ upgrade includes 10.6-inch TXi displays; Garmin GI 275 standby flight instrument; stabilized approach monitoring; FAA Data Comm; and emergency descent mode, which automatically flies the CJ to a preset altitude in case of loss of cabin pressurization. Options include the GWX 8000 StormOptix weather radar; PlaneSync connected aircraft management system; GMA 35C audio panel; GTX 345R transponder; GDL 69A SiriusXM datalink; GTS traffic systems; and GSR 56 datalink.
“Our team continues to raise the bar when it comes to complex Garmin retrofits in turbine aircraft,” said Bill Forbes, senior v-p of avionics and business development at Elliott Aviation. “The CJ upgrade with the G600 TXi and GFC 600 offers operators a transformative flight deck experience with modern technology, increased reliability, and full envelope protection, all backed by Elliott’s deep experience and technical expertise.”
