At the Confluence of Ability and Persistence
Spirit Aeronautics has completed a 13-month project on behalf of one of the world’s largest private aviation concerns. Between May 2022 and June 2023, Spirit personnel upgraded no fewer than 11 Citation 750 X aircraft to Honeywell Flight Management Systems (FMS) 6.1.
Moreover, Spirit has upgraded north of twenty additional aircraft by dint of the selfsame unique methodology employed during the marathon 13-month undertaking, thereby establishing the company as the most experienced and adept provider of subject service.
By developing and providing an FAA-approved engineering solution by which to rectify FMS obsolescence, Spirit addressed an industry-wide need for cost-reduction and efficiency in avionics upgrades. As it is not affected by current obsolescence-driven conventions, Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) GPS upgrades—within the context of Spirit’s approach—are necessary only in the event a given aircraft’s owner or operator deems such so.
Formerly, Cessna Citation X owners were obligated to have their aircrafts’ FMS and GPS sensors upgraded by OEM factory service centers. No options existed for the aforementioned work to be performed by independent Maintenance, Repair, Overhaul (MRO) facilities. Ergo, avionics and FMS retrofits were at once needlessly costly and excessively time-consuming. Spirit’s solution allows aircraft owners to save both time and money.
Founded in 2000, Spirit Aeronautics is a veteran-owned avionics service-provider servicing operators of business, special-missions, and military aircraft. The company is headquartered in Columbus, Ohio and maintains a satellite base in the vicinity of Texas’s Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex. Both the Columbus and Dallas/Fort Worth facilities are highly-credentialed Federal Aviation Administration Certified Repair Stations. Spirit’s personnel comprise teams of highly-skilled technicians and engineers who’ve provided cutting-edge avionics installation and complex aircraft modification services for upwards of twenty-years.
