The FAA has awarded Rockwell Collins STC approval for an upgrade to its Pro Line Fusion integrated cockpit for the Cessna Citation CJ3. According to the Cedar Rapids, Iowa-based avionics manufacturer, the upgrade provides compliance for looming NextGen ATC mandates, such as ADS-B equipage by 2020, with widescreen displays, synthetic vision and touchscreen navigation. So far, the company noted, more than 20 customers have signed on for the improvement package, the first of which has been completed by Duncan Aviation and is slated to fly this week.
