“The customers will now find out what we know,
that the TTx is an aircraft which will wow
pilots with its performance, and surprise
passengers with its comfort,” said Brian Steele,
business leader for the Cessna TTx. “Everything
about it is fun, fast and sporty, while at the
same time intuitive and comfortable. The G2000
avionics are so advanced and at the same time
familiar. The interior appointments add a
refined touch of class to the overall TTx
experience.”
One of the customers accepting delivery is David
Barnes, Chief Executive Officer of Watermark
Retirement Communities. Barnes said he plans on
using his TTx to travel between the 32 Watermark
properties throughout the country.
Representatives from Pacific Air Center (PAC)
were on hand to assist with the event. PAC is a
Cessna authorized sales center covering the
southwest United States, with bases in Long
Beach, Calif., and Scottsdale, Ariz.
Production line flow of the TTx was announced in
April of 2012 at the Sun ‘n Fun International
Fly-In and Expo in Lakeland, Fla. The aircraft
has a top speed of 235 ktas (270 miles per
hour), an operating ceiling of 25,000 feet and
an optional Flight into Known Icing (FIKI)
system, enabling pilots to file flight plans
allowing for varying weather conditions. The TTx
is the first aircraft to be equipped with the
Garmin G2000 avionics system which features a
glass cockpit with dual 14.1 inch high
definition displays and touch screen controls.
