An alternative avionics upgrade is now available to modernize Cessna Citation 550, 560, and 560XL Honeywell Primus 1000 systems without the expense of a complete avionics suite replacement. Aerospace Design and Compliance (ADC) developed the SkyVue 1000 supplemental type certificate (STC), which is available from SkyVue Avionics; both are Atlantic Jet Partners companies.

SkyVue 1000 includes the replacement of obsolete Honeywell DU 870 primary and multifunction flight displays with LED DU 875 displays. The original flight management system is replaced with two BendixKing AeroNav 900s with LPV approach capability, and a new fuel flow computer ensures true fuel flow function on the AeroNav 900s. A Becker audio panel with Bluetooth, 3D audio, and last-message replay rounds out the upgrade.
