Garmin G5000 Upgrade: Modern Flight Deck Solutions for Cessna Citation Excel and Citation XLS

Key Benefits and Features

The G5000 upgrade brings significant advantages, including:

• Lower Cost of Ownership and Zero-Time Avionics: Reduces maintenance on older systems and addresses obsolescence.
• Weight Savings: Typically replaces outdated wiring and hardware, providing an estimated weight saving of 200 lbs or more, leading to increased payload and fuel-planning flexibility.
• Advanced Navigation: Features satellite-based navigation capabilities, supporting NextGen/SESAR/EUROCONTROL operational requirements like ADS-B and Data Comm/Link 2000+. Enables WAAS GPS-guided LPV approaches to 200' minimums.
• Intuitive Pilot Interface: Combines three landscape-oriented 14" flight displays with two digital touchscreen display/controllers for primary crew interaction.
• Multi-Pane Displays: Allows for crew-configurable presentation of multiple data pages (maps, charts, checklists, TAWS-A, TCAS II, flight plans, weather, video input) side-by-side on the same screen without clutter.
• Integrated Systems: Includes integrated engine indications and crew alerting messages (EICAS) for better awareness of critical operating parameters.
• Advanced Autopilot: Features a digital, dual-channel automatic flight control system (AFCS) with capabilities such as fully coupled go-arounds, emergency descent mode, and optional underspeed protection (USP).
• Enhanced Situational Awareness: Optional Garmin SVT (Synthetic Vision Technology) is available for the flight displays.
• Advanced Weather Capabilities: Options include advanced weather radar with turbulence detection, ground clutter suppression, and windshear alerting.
• Garmin Connext Datalink: Provides global datalink services, including worldwide satellite weather, voice calling, email, and text messaging, plus SiriusXM satellite weather and audio entertainment links.
• Wireless Connectivity: Connext cockpit wireless connectivity synchronizes weather, traffic, and other data between avionics and tablets. Enables two-way wireless flight plan transfers with Garmin Pilot and ForeFlight Mobile.
• Paperless Flight Deck: Supports digital document display for electronic charts, flight manual data, and more.
• RVSM Support: Facilitates Reduced Vertical Separation Minimums operations.
• Future-Ready Architecture: Growth-oriented design accommodates future technologies via software updates.
• Reliability and Support: Backed by a 3-year warranty and Garmin's award-winning worldwide support network.

Cockpit Overview

The G5000 flight deck features a modern, integrated design with three large 14-inch landscape flight displays and two touchscreen controllers. These displays can be configured in multi-pane mode to show various data simultaneously.

Primary Flight Display (PFD) and Multi-Function Display (MFD) Capabilities:

• Navigation Map: Displays flight plan, terrain, traffic, weather, and airport information. Shows current track (TRK), heading (HDG), and ground speed (GS).
• Traffic Map: Provides visual indication of nearby aircraft, showing relative positions and altitudes.
• Engine Data: Monitors critical engine parameters such as N1%, ITT (Interstage Turbine Temperature), OIL PSI (Oil Pressure), OIL°C (Oil Temperature), FUEL PPH (Fuel Flow), FUEL QTY (Fuel Quantity), SAT°C (Static Air Temperature), and OAT°C (Outside Air Temperature).
• System Status: Displays barometric pressure (e.g., 29.92 IN), radio altitude (RA), cabin altitude and temperature settings, and anti-ice/deice system status.
• Autopilot Controls: Integrated autopilot functions include Flight Director (FD), Vertical Navigation (VNAV), Flight Level Change (FLC), Approach (APPR), Heading (HDG), Altitude (ALT), and Vertical Speed (VSPEEDS).
• Communication and Navigation: Displays active communication frequencies (e.g., COM1 120.90) and navigation sources.
• Flight Plan Information: Shows active flight plan details, including waypoints (e.g., KTTD, SSHAM, FAIYR, WOODD), distance (NM), estimated time en route (ETE), and timer (TMR).
• Approach Information: Displays approach procedures such as KTTD-RNAV (GPS)-A, with minimum altitudes and speeds.

The cockpit also includes physical controls for thrust reversers, fuel crossfeed, emergency brake, and various system selectors.
