“With close to 50 customer commitments, the market has proven
that the ever-popular Citation Excel/XLS is a perfect platform for
the G5000,” said Carl Wolf, Garmin vice president of aviation sales
and marketing. “Based on the tremendous success of our integrated
flight deck retrofits, as well as the reception of our early
adopter programs, Citation Excel/XLS owners and operators are
excited to start flying behind the G5000 as it offers an
unprecedented level of situational awareness, yields a
significantly lower cost of operation and delivers an exceptional
in-flight experience.”
The G5000 integrated flight deck for the Citation Excel and
Citation XLS 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. Electronic charts and Garmin SafeTaxi® airport
diagrams are geo-referenced and can be viewed across all three
displays. 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.
The G5000 installation on the Citation Excel/XLS includes a
fully digital Automatic Flight Control System (AFCS), offering
precise performance throughout the aircraft’s flight envelope. New
to the Citation Excel, Emergency Descent Mode (EDM) is available as
a standard feature with the G5000 and is enabled by the autopilot
in the event of a loss in aircraft pressurization. Safety enhancing
underspeed protection (USP) is an optional feature that allows the
autopilot to assist with airspeed management, while also enabling
fully coupled go-arounds, greatly reducing pilot workload.
The G5000 upgrade for the Citation Excel/XLS comes with a fully
integrated, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and European
Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) rule-compliant Automatic Dependent
Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) Out solution. Additionally,
operators gain access to more airports and lower approach minimums
throughout the world as the G5000 has PBN/RNP 0.3 with LPV/APV
approach capability.
With the G5000, pilots can receive departure clearances faster
using FAA Data Comm. Controller Pilot Data Link
Communication-Departure Clearance (CPDLC-DCL) automates Clearance
Delivery operations at over 60 of the busiest airports in the U.S.
and enables wireless receipt and automatic loading of the departure
clearance into the G5000. Additionally, the G5000 supports En Route
CPDLC capability, which allows the exchange of data link messages
with Air Route Traffic Control Centers (ARTCCs) in the U.S. This
capability is expected to be available at all ARTCCs by the end of
the year. European operators can also meet Link 2000+ requirements
using this same technology. FAA Data Comm and Link 2000+ require
optional equipment and services.
The G5000 for the Citation Excel/XLS also supports additional
options, such as:
- SVT™ synthetic vision technology, which presents a 3D virtual
depiction of terrain, obstacles, traffic and the runway
environment.
- SurfaceWatch™, which supports visual and aural cues to help
prevent pilots from taking off and landing on a taxiway, on a
runway that is too short or on the wrong runway based on
performance data entered during preflight.
- Datalink weather, including access to global weather products
and text/voice communication through the Iridium satellite
network.
- Advanced Doppler weather radar features including ground
clutter suppression and turbulence detection.
As an additional option for this upgrade, Connext® wireless
cockpit connectivity via the Flight Stream 510, enables wireless
flight plan transfer and more between compatible mobile devices,
including Garmin Pilot™, FltPlan Go and ForeFlight Mobile. Owners
and operators can more easily manage flight plans with the Flight
Stream 510, while also receiving additional benefits such as the
sharing of traffic, weather, GPS and more across multiple mobile
devices in the cockpit. Flight Stream 510 also enables Database
Concierge, the wireless transfer of aviation databases from the
Garmin Pilot app on a mobile device to the G5000.
G5000 eLearning training courses
In conjunction with this certification, Garmin has launched two
new eLearning courses that are tailored to the G5000 in the
Citation Excel/XLS. These courses review a variety of features,
operational considerations and scenarios so pilots can familiarize
themselves with the capabilities of the G5000. For additional
