The U.S. FAA has STC’d the Garmin G5000 avionics suite for retrofit in the Beechjet 400A/400XP, the company announced today. According to Garmin, the G5000 “modernizes the cockpit, increases aircraft utility, offers significant weight savings and provides operators with a solution to fulfill global next-generation airspace initiatives.” In addition, the upgrade for the light jet lowers the cost of operation and solves avionics parts obsolescence.
