Elliott Aviation has completed its 100th Garmin G5000 flight deck retrofit installation with the delivery of a Cessna Citation XLS operated by Centennial Jets. The G5000 avionics include three large landscape displays, two touchscreen controllers, dual GI 275 standby instruments, Garmin’s automatic flight control system, synthetic vision with 3D taxi and taxiway routing, runway occupancy awareness, and controller-pilot data link communications.
“When evaluating avionics upgrade options for our Citation XLS, we wanted a partner with extensive experience and a proven track record,” said Centennial Jets CEO Rohan Bhatia. “Being Elliott Aviation’s 100th Garmin G5000 installation speaks volumes about their expertise and leadership in this space. The quality of the installation, professionalism of the team, and overall experience exceeded our expectations.”
Elliott Aviation has installed more G5000 and G1000/G1000 NXi retrofits than any other Garmin dealer. “Earning the trust of 100 aircraft owners and operators for Garmin G5000 retrofits is an incredible milestone and a reflection of the expertise, dedication, and craftsmanship of our avionics teams,” said Bill Forbes, senior v-p of sales and avionics program. “We were proud to be the first organization to complete a Garmin G5000 installation in a Citation Excel, and reaching our 100th installation demonstrates the confidence the industry continues to place in Elliott Aviation. This accomplishment is the result of years of investment in our people, processes, and capabilities, as well as a strong partnership with Garmin.”
