Refreshed G5000 Cockpit For Citation Excel/XLS Available Pilots can now look forward to potentially having a higher technology, easy-to-use and upgraded experience in the cockpit of the Citation Excel/XLS with the STC for a Garmin G5000 retrofit. This is a great upgrade for the aircraft type which would have come with a Honeywell Primus 1000 avionics suite from the factory. The G5000 is standard equipment in the cockpits of many newer Citation models like the Sovereign+, Longitude and Latitude. To have this technology in the cockpits of the older Citation Excel/XLS models is great value for money and peace of mind for the pilots.
Some of the improvements the G5000 brings to the table include; digital flight management, current and future NextGen operational support, and graphical display technologies for enhanced situational awareness and the latest satellite-based navigation. "The Citation Excel and XLS family continues to be one of the world’s most popular business jets," said Senior VP of customer support, Textron Aviation, Brian Rohloff. The G5000 keeps operators on top on current mandates and better in-line for future mandates and of course being done at Textron and Textron-approved service centers you get a great swap-out and expert install.
