JetTech of Littleton, Colo., said it is developing a glass-panel upgrade  for the Cessna Citation 501/551 series based on the Garmin G600. The  $62,900 upgrade kit will include the cockpit displays, an air-data  interface unit, pre-cut instrument panel, pitot-static plumbing and  fittings, wiring harness and solid-state AHRS, the company said. JetTech  plans to begin installations once it has obtained the FAA STC for the  installation. The company will then make kits available to other  Citation I/SP and II/SP operators through approved Garmin dealers.  Featuring dual 6.5-inch-diagonal LCDs, the G600 upgrade adds  capabilities for synthetic vision, terrain awareness, traffic avoidance,  satellite weather and lightning strike data. The installation uses the  airplane’s existing RVSM equipment and Garmin GNS 430/530 GPS/navcoms.  The upgrade is expected to take 15 days to complete.
