Insights
The G5000 certification for Citation XLS+ and XLS Gen2 marks a significant technological leap in avionics. This upgrade addresses critical issues like parts obsolescence and operational costs, while enhancing safety features. The integration of advanced capabilities such as Synthetic Vision Technology (SVT) with 3D exocentric view and StormOptix weather radar represents a substantial improvement in situational awareness and weather interpretation.
The addition of Emergency Descent Mode (EDM) and Underspeed Protection (USP) showcases Garmin's commitment to automated safety systems. These features, combined with the PBN/RNP 0.3 certification, significantly enhance the aircraft's operational capabilities and safety margins. The Runway Occupancy Awareness (ROA) technology is a game-changer for preventing runway incursions, addressing a persistent safety concern in aviation.
This certification expands Garmin's market reach to over 1,000 eligible aircraft, solidifying its position in the avionics retrofit market. The G5000 upgrade offers a compelling value proposition for Citation XLS+ and XLS Gen2 owners, potentially extending the operational life and value of these aircraft. The inclusion of FANS-1/A+ and ACARS support opens up new route possibilities, particularly for transatlantic flights, which could increase the aircraft's utility and market appeal.
The PlaneSync system and connectivity options align with the growing trend of connected aircraft, potentially reducing maintenance costs and improving operational efficiency. This could lead to increased adoption rates and recurring revenue streams for Garmin through subscription services. The backward compatibility of new features with existing G5000-equipped Excel and XLS aircraft demonstrates Garmin's commitment to its customer base, which could strengthen brand loyalty and drive future upgrades.
New upgrade options are also available for G5000-equipped Citation Excel and XLS aircraft
"The successful certification of the G5000 for Cessna Citation XLS+ and XLS Gen 2 business jets is a significant achievement for Garmin and our customers. We are thrilled to expand our G5000 program, offering a cutting-edge avionics suite that provides safety-enhancing tools, situational awareness and operational efficiency to now over 1,000 eligible aircraft. With this certification, we are also bringing even more advanced features and capabilities to the Citation Excel and XLS fleet, ensuring these aircraft remain at the forefront of technology for years to come."
–Carl Wolf, Garmin Vice President of Aviation Sales and Marketing
Advanced flight deck solution
The G5000 integrated flight deck for the Citation XLS+ and XLS Gen2 features three landscape-oriented flight displays with split-screen capability, allowing pilots to simultaneously view maps, charts, checklists, TAWS, TCAS, flight plan information, weather and more. Two intuitive touchscreen controllers serve as the pilot interface to the flight deck and contribute to the ease of operation and seamless transition between various pages. New with G5000 for the XLS+ and XLS Gen2, two GI 275 electronic flight instruments can be used as standby ADIs.
Installation of the G5000 for the Citation XLS+ and XLS Gen2 includes a fully digital Automatic Flight Control System (AFCS). The AFCS offers precise performance throughout the aircraft's flight envelope and helps manage speed and performance.
The system also includes Emergency Descent Mode (EDM) as a standard feature. In the event an aircraft loses cabin pressurization, EDM is capable of automatically descending the aircraft to a preset altitude without pilot intervention to help avert hypoxic situations. Underspeed protection (USP) allows the autopilot to assist with airspeed management, while also enabling fully coupled go-arounds, greatly reducing crew workload. Additionally, operators gain access to more airports and lower approach minimums throughout the world as the G5000 is PBN/RNP 0.3 certified, enabling LPV/APV approach capability.
Terminal operations solutions
Synthetic Vision Technology (SVT™) has been upgraded to include a 3D exocentric view of the airport environment to aid situational awareness while taxiing. SVT also displays 3D building footprints including hangars, terminals and towers, taxiways, aprons, signs and other markings to help reduce runway incursions by providing better situational awareness while taxiing at airports contained in the SafeTaxi® database. Significant updates to SVT have added features such as increased topographical clarity, sharpened water and terrain boundaries, improved obstacle and powerlines display, enhanced runway and airport sign depiction and more.
Taxiway Routing, a new feature from Garmin, allows the flight crew to use the touchscreen controller to enter taxi routes, which then provides guidance on the 2D navigational maps or 3D SVT depictions. SurfaceWatch™ runway monitoring technology complements TOLD calculations to provide indications and alerts designed to help prevent pilots from taking off or landing on the wrong runway, a runway that is too short or a taxiway. It also displays the remaining runway distance information on the PFD during the takeoff roll and landing rollout.
ADS-B and StormOptix Weather Radar
The G5000 upgrade for the Citation XLS+ and XLS Gen2 comes with a fully integrated Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) solution that's DO-260B/TSO C166b compliant and utilizes antenna diversity, which satisfies all current global mandates. ADS-B In traffic data is analyzed by Garmin's recently announced Runway Occupancy Awareness (ROA) technology, which alerts the crew of potential runway incursions with nearby airborne aircraft, aircraft on the ground and ground vehicles. ADS-B In includes subscription-free Flight Information Service-Broadcast (FIS-B) weather1 and ADS-B In traffic, which offers exclusive features like TargetTrend™.
The flight crew is provided a more complete weather picture using the GWX™ 8000 StormOptix™ weather radar with auto mode, eliminating the requirement to manually adjust the radar and resulting in easier weather interpretation and a more simplified operation. The GWX 8000 StormOptix weather radar includes hail and lightning detection and is available with a predictive windshear warning system.
Connectivity
Using a 4G LTE cellular or Wi-Fi ® connection provided by the optional GDL® 60 datalink, Garmin's PlaneSync™ connected aircraft management system2 will automate database updates, provide real-time remote aircraft status3 and automatically transmit flight log and engine data to the cloud after landing4. With Connext® global datalink services, operators can receive worldwide satellite weather coverage, voice calling, email and text messaging. Additionally, SiriusXM® satellite weather and audio entertainment links are incorporated into the upgrade. With FANS-1/A+ and ACARS support in the G5000 upgrade, XLS+ and XLS Gen2 owners meet the requirements to fly the North Atlantic Track System (NATS). The upgrade also supports CPDLC, including Link 2000+ and FAA DataComm, for departure clearance (DCL) and enroute datalink services.
New upgrade options for Citation Excel and XLS aircraft
Both existing and new G5000 Excel, XLS, XLS+ and XLS Gen2 operators can take advantage of Garmin's new enhanced G5000 optional features which include upgraded SVT with 3D SafeTaxi®, Taxiway Routing, GWX 8000 StormOptix weather radar, ADS-B In and PlaneSync connected aircraft management.
The G5000 integrated flight deck for XLS+ and XLS Gen2 aircraft is now available through Textron Aviation Service Centers and includes a 3-year standard warranty.
