Esterline Supplies Longitude Cockpit Controls

Esterline is supplying illuminated cockpit switch components and overhead lighting panels for the cockpit of the new Cessna Citation Longitude. Specifically, the Everett, Wash.-based avionics company is supplying its Korry 389 and 1380 LED pushbutton switches, overhead lighting-control panel and illuminated knobs, as well as Janco rotary control products, for the super-midsize business jet.

The company said that its philosophy is to help “provide a consistent human-machine interface throughout the cockpit, in both lighting uniformity and tactile response from component to component.”

Mike McCoy, president of Esterline Control & Communication Systems (Booth 3619), said, “Esterline is proud to continue its long association with Textron Aviation and the Citation family of business jets.”
