JetTech Develops ‘Glass Panel’ Install Now
Available as Retrofit
The FAA has granted an STC to Colorado-based JetTech for the new
Garmin G600 “Glass Panel” EFIS installation
modification specifically for Cessna Citation 500 series aircraft
to include models 500, 501, 550, 551 and S550. With the FAA
approval, JetTech will begin offering kits available through
JetTech approved Garmin authorized dealers. A complete
documentation package is supplied to support the installation
process.
The new modification is designed to provide pilots with the
highest degree of Situational Awareness.
“In developing this installation, we wanted to add
features to Legacy Citations that pilots are demanding in
today’s technology driven cockpit environment,” said
Rob Irwin, founder and member/manager of JetTech. “As a
result, we’ve included such features as synthetic vision,
terrain awareness, traffic collision avoidance systems, digital
weather radar, satellite weather radar and lightning strike
information.”
According to Irwin, one of the most important features of the
STC is the retention of the existing RVSM system installed in the
aircraft. He said by using JetTech’s proprietary Air Data
Interface Unit (AIU), the aircraft’s existing RVSM solution
will still be displayed on the copilot side as well as on the pilot
side. “The installation also includes additional major
equipment upgrades,” Irwin Explained. “Primary is the
replacement of the existing Iron Vertical and Horizontal Gyros with
advanced solid state Attitude Heading Referencing System
(AHRS).”
In addition to the Garmin G600 STC Install for Legacy Citations,
JetTech previously announced a Garmin G600 RVSM STC Award for
Cheyenne III, IIIA & 400LS. Currently, JetTech has a pending
STC to install the New Garmin GTN 650/750 “Touch
Screen” series GPS for the Citation 500 series that includes
WAAS approvals.
