JetTech is unveiling its Garmin G700 TXi installation on a Citation II being shown on static display this week at NBAA 2018, and announced the initial supplemental type certificate (STC) for the panel upgrade is pending and will be available for the Cessna Citation II/SII and V fleet.
The TXi install “offers a flexible and scalable design solution to include either a single or dual 10.6-inch flight display paired with dual G650/750 touchscreen displays,” said Rob Irwin, founder and member/manager at JetTech (Static SD20). “As a follow-on to our successful STC modification for the Garmin G600 displays, the new STC will allow existing JetTech customers a special upgrade path for the G700 TXi touchscreen primary display.”
The G700 TXi includes HSI mapping, synthetic vision technology, and TCAS II Resolution Advisory, along with fully coupled LPV/WAAS approach guidance, and the option to display vertical navigation (VNAV) guidance to fly complex RNAV arrival procedures. Colorado-based JetTech will be offering STC’d installation data packages through approved Garmin authorized dealers for Citation 500s, 550s, S550s, and 560s equipped with the Sperry ZPZ 500 autopilot, and the G600 TXi for Citation 501s and 551s equipped with that autopilot.
