Ahead of the annual Citation Jet Pilots Association Conference next week in San Antonio, Texas, MRO provider Elliott Aviation has launched a three-tiered avionics upgrade program for Cessna Citation CJ1s and CJ2s. Intended to address avionics obsolescence, enhance safety, and improve aircraft value, the program offers package options that provide CJ1/CJ2 operators with a solution to modernize their cockpits.
The base Silver package includes the 10.6-inch Garmin G600 TXi displays and GFC 600 autopilot, which replaces the legacy equipment with a glass cockpit. Meanwhile, the Gold package features 12.1-inch TXi displays, GDR 66 VHF datalink transceiver with DataComm and push-to-load functionality, GDL 60 PlaneSync wireless connectivity, and Send Airtext Classic for texting capability.
For the highest package level, Platinum adds Garmin’s most advanced equipment on top of the Gold package, including dual GI 275 standby flight instruments, GWX 8000 StormOptix weather radar, GTS 825 traffic, and Airtext+ with a bulkhead moving map display.
According to the company, installations can be completed in fewer than 25 working days. For upgrades booked before the end of September, it is offering a promotion of three years of nav database and/or datacom or other Garmin services for Gold package customers and five years for Platinum.
“Our goal with the CJ Flight Deck Evolution Program is to give Citation operators a straightforward upgrade path that matches their needs,” said Bill Forbes, Elliott’s senior v-p of avionics and business development. “Whether you want the essential benefits of the Silver package, the performance upgrades in the Gold, or the fully-featured Platinum upgrade, Elliott Aviation delivers the right solution with proven installation expertise.”
