Product Spotlight CJs Get New Life with G1000 Recently, significant advances in avionics presentations and capability have given renewed longevity to classic Citations. “Unlike advances in aerodynamics and engine technology, avionics enhancements are more easily adapted to older aircraft designs, giving them the same capability of new aircraft just off the assembly line,” says Stan Younger, Cessna’s VP of Service Facilities. New technologies such as Synthetic Vision, Required Navigation Performance (RNP) and Automatic Dependent Surveillance - Broadcast (ADS-B) are giving operators new standards in safety and navigation capability that didn’t exist a decade ago. Existing technologies are evolving, too, bringing with them requirements such as Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum (RVSM) and other mandates that operators must meet if their aircraft are to continue to be fully capable in the ever-changing airspace system. Balanced against the desire for advanced technology is a desire among some operators to preserve the factory appearance of their instrument panels – the well organized and consistent look of a system that was engineered to function as a unit. With some avionics upgrades, an operator can be left with a mixture of old and new, as some units are replaced while others remain. The effect can be a patchwork appearance that some owners want to avoid. Serial Number 001-359 “Now Cessna and Garmin have teamed up to offer a factory engineered Garmin G1000 Integrated Cockpit Suite to owners of early CitationJet Model 525 aircraft,” says Younger. Serial number effectivity covers No. 001-359. The G1000 Integrated Cockpit Suite features dual pilot and copilot 10.4-inch Primary Flight Displays (PFDs) flanking a 12-inch center Multi Function Display (MFD) with electronic engine and fuel indication systems, Class B Terrain Awareness and Warning System (TAWS), dual Attitude and Heading Reference Systems (AHRS), and dual RVSM-capable digital air data computers. The MFD also incorporates dual nav/comm/surveillance/Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) Global Positioning System (GPS) radios, and an ARINC-429 compatible Flight Management System (FMS). It integrates navigation information laid over terrain and obstacle presentations in a clear moving map display. Down Time, Lead Time Minimal Installation of the G1000 CitationJet Integrated Cockpit Suite is available exclusively through Cessna Citation Service Centers, with the work typically taking four to five weeks to complete. Lead time before aircraft induction is typically four weeks. The basic installation currently costs $385,000 and comes with a two-year warranty. “Basically, the system integrates all primary flight, navigation, weather, traffic, terrain, radio frequency, engine and fuel system data,” Younger says. The final installation is easily read with an intuitive format that results in improved crew awareness and reduced pilot workload.” The G1000 system’s clean factory-engineered appearance is created by removing all of the original Honeywell SPZ-5000 avionics from the aircraft, including the radar, autopilot and remote-mounted mechanical gyros and replacing them with new Garmin equipment. An added benefit is an approximately 100-pound reduction in weight. Replacing the autopilot is Garmin’s GFC 700 three-axis fully integrated digital dual-channel Automatic Flight Control System (AFCS). This fail-passive system supports coupled WAAS LPV approaches, vertical navigation, flight level change (FLC) and other features. Garmin’s GWX 68 color weather radar provides stabilized tracking to enhance in-flight tactical decisions. Pre-Loads Garmin FliteCharts® are pre-loaded into the system, providing an electronic geographical display of terminal procedures and approach plates for more than 2,900 U.S. airports. Optional geo-referenced ChartView plates and surface diagrams are also available, which overlay aircraft position cues on a Jeppesen-style electronic format. Also pre-loaded are Garmin’s SafeTaxi® diagrams which depict more than 950 U.S. airport layouts, including page 4 PLEASE SEE NEXT PAGE
unways, taxiways, runway incursion hotspots, hangars and other airport landmarks. The system depicts the aircraft’s current location on a displayed airfield. The CitationJet G1000 Integrated Cockpit Suite also offers a number of optional features, including a Garmin GLD 69A data link receiver that provides continuous in-flight access to XM WX Satellite Weather including Next Generation Radar (NEXRAD) images and Meteorological Aviation Reports (METARs) data as well as current reports on precipitation, lightning, winds aloft, Terminal Aviation Forecasts (TAFs) and Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFRs). Synthetic Vision A Garmin Synthetic Vision Technology SVT will also be available. This system creates three-dimensional “virtual reality” landscape images on the pilot and copilot PFDs that replicate what would be visible ahead of the aircraft on a clear day. The display shows terrain, obstacles, traffic and the runway environment. The SVT also depicts rectangular pathways (Highways in the Sky) that help the pilot navigate enroute legs, VNAV legs, GPS/ WAAS vertical approach procedures and Instrument Landing System (ILS) approaches. As modern and up-to-date as the G1000 CitationJet system is, it still has provisions for upgrades in anticipation of upcoming changes in the airway system. These include the FAA’s NextGen and Europe’s Single European Sky ATM Research Programme (SESAR) air traffic management systems, ADS-B In and Out, and a basis for RPN procedures. Many of these features are expected to be required equipment in a few years. Also, pending is an electronic stall protection program. The upgraded system ensures that classic CitationJets continue as capable business transportation machines, serving owners well for years to come. And, as an added bonus, the G1000 retrofit has been added to the Aircraft Bluebook Price Digest to recognize the value attributed to the installation and its available options. G1000 SN 001-359 - $385,000 ($288,750 wholesale), G1000 TCAS 1 - $48,000 ($36,000 wholesale), G1000 Iridium phone - $37,275 ($27,956 wholesale) and G1000 SVT - $22,400 ($16,808 wholesale), all adding significant value to these aircraft upon resale.
