The Garmin G5000 upgrade for the Citation XLS+ and XLS Gen2

Garmin has received FAA supplemental type certification for installation of the G5000 integrated flight deck in Textron Aviation’s Cessna Citation XLS+ and XLS Gen2. The G5000 suite replaces the original Collins Aerospace Pro Line 21 avionics in the XLS+ and XLS Gen2. G5000 is also certified in earlier XL/XLS models, and the eligible fleet for the upgrade is more than 1,000 jets.

In addition to three large landscape displays with split-screen capability, the G5000 upgrade includes two touchscreen controllers and dual GI 275 standby instruments. Garmin’s automatic flight control system includes emergency descent mode and underspeed protection, which enables fully coupled go-arounds. G5000 avionics are PBN/RNP 0.3 certified, according to Garmin, “enabling LPV/APV approach capability.”
