The
Legacy 650, the newest addition to Embraer’s growing choice of business jets, will fly with Honeywell Primus Elite avionics, a new product offering that will bring XM graphical weather capability, video display link and Jeppesen electronic charts to the cockpit, all of it accessible with a cursor-control graphical interface.

The Primus Elite system is the same package Honeywell is offering as a retrofit upgrade in a variety of business jets. That Embraer chose it for its newest business jet over the Honeywell Primus Epic system is notably smart. Primus Elite doesn’t offer nearly the degree of integration of Primus Epic, but it still packs plenty of punch for a lot less money.
