Garmin Adds Second Jet to Excel/XLS G5000 Program
The G5000 upgrade for the Citation Excel/XLS is expected to be approved in early 2019.

In preparation for anticipated supplemental type certificate approval in early 2019, Garmin has added a second aircraft to the development and flight-test program for its G5000 avionics suite upgrade for the Cessna Citation Excel/XLS. The company has already sold out the first 25 positions for the upgrade program and it is offering another pre-STC incentive program for the next customers to sign up for a 2019 delivery. The new incentive is available for up to 15 owners or operators and offers five years of database coverage, a savings of nearly $25,000.
