July 21, 2010 - The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has granted Garmin, a global leader in satellite navigation a supplemental type certification (STC) for the G1000 integrated flight deck in the Cessna CitationJet (Model 525, serial numbers 0001-0359). This RVSM compliant system will result in approximately 100 pounds of weight savings, and will give pilots the advantages of flying WAAS approaches with Garmin?s GFC 700 autopilot, electronic charts, datalink weather and optional Synthetic Vision Technology (SVT). The G1000 flight deck on the Cessna CitationJet is one of the most robust avionics systems on the market today and has a wide array of standard and optional features. |
