First IS&S Adviz Retrofitted Citation Flies
Innovative Solutions
& Support, Inc. is flying their first Cessna Citation aircraft
retrofitted with its AdViz Flat Panel Display System.
In January 2007, Cessna Aircraft Company chose Innovative
Solutions & Support (IS&S) as the flat panel display system
provider for the Cessna AdViz Glass cockpit retrofit program.
Cessna and IS&S wanted to replace aging flight instruments on
legacy Citations with the AdViz system, resulting in reduced
weight; improved reliability; and access to navigational aids, such
as XM Weather, navigation charts, remote radio tuning, and enhanced
video. The AdViz system will initially be available for purchase
through the nine Cessna-owned Citation Service Centers, and will
later be distributed through the Cessna authorized network. It will
be certified for the Cessna Citation 500/501, 550/551, S550, 560,
and 650 aircraft.
The first successful flight of the retrofitted Citation V was
made on April 6, 2009. “The AdViz Glass cockpit exceeded my
expectations,” says Rick Trissell, Cessna Flight Test Pilot
after a 1.5 hour flight. “The crisp symbology and clarity of
the displays, along with additional navigation aids, will enhance
situational awareness in flight.”
“The success of this flight is a great achievement,”
says Chad Thorne, Vice President Business Development and Marketing
of IS&S. “We are pleased to have the opportunity to work
with Cessna Aircraft Company, and look forward to providing pilots
and passengers with this state-of-the-art technology to improve the
efficiency, reliability, and safety of flights.”
