Stevens Aerospace Gears Up for Citation XLS G5000 Upgrades
Stevens Aerospace and Defense is already working on its second Citation XLS Garmin G5000 flight deck upgrade.

In early January, Stevens Aerospace and Defense Systems completed the company’s first installation of a Garmin G5000 avionics suite in a Cessna Citation XLS. This is one of the first of 10 G5000 upgrades for the XLS to be done in North America under an STC developed by Garmin and approved in July 2019. Stevens began its second G5000 XLS upgrade later in January.

Stevens technicians did the avionics upgrade at the company’s Greenville, South Carolina facility. In addition to the G5000 flight deck, the 15-year-old XLS also received fresh paint and a full interior refurbishment with leather seats, new cabinets, a reconfigured galley, and new passenger amenities, according to Stevens.
