“This installation is a fantastic example of how an ownercan add significant operational, situational awareness and safety capabilitiesto a legacy business aircraft, without the significant cost and downtime of atotal panel upgrade,” Garcia said. “We were able to accomplish all that theowner wanted, including engineering and fabricating new pilot-side and centerinstrument panels, on time and on budget.”

“Working with the Jettech GTN STC, this was a ratherstraightforward upgrade to the Citation’s legacy analog radios,” stated GulfCoast Avionics’ Sales Manager, Matt Schloss. “Probably the biggest challengewas the integration of the new Garmin avionics with the Citation’s HoneywellEFIS displays and the analog autopilot and weather radar.”

“The STC had all of the primary system integration instructions covered, butevery time you open up the panel of a 21-year old airplane, you may well be infor a surprise,” he said. “Fortunately, this Citation was in exceptionalcondition so there were just a few unexpected issues.”
