Owners of the more than 200 Cessna Citation CJ2s built through 2006 will be able to have their jets’ avionics upgraded with a Garmin suite at Textron Aviation service centers once Garmin receives the FAA supplemental type certificate by July.

The upgrade features two G600 TXi touchscreen displays with features specific to the CJ2, including stabilized approach monitoring and aural V-speed alerting during takeoff, as well as Garmin’s engine indication system. Two GTN Xi navigators enable vertical navigation (VNAV) using the GFC 600 autopilot, including coupled VNAV descents and coupled go-arounds.
