Meet Current and Future Air Navigation Requirements
Many CJ1 and CJ2 aircraft still operate with outdated avionics that lack support or compatibility with modern navigation standards. The G600 TXi/GFC 600 upgrade:
- Provides a modern platform for performance-based navigation (PBN) compliance
- Supports efficient RNAV approaches and reduces operational limitations
- Includes scalable autopilot and software enhancements for future airspace requirements
- Offers advanced tools like Smart Glide, coupled VNAV, and autopilot modes to simplify complex procedures
Eliminating Obsolescence
Many Citation CJ1 and CJ2 aircraft still operate with original avionics systems that are no longer supported by the manufacturer. As these legacy components age, owners face increasing challenges with parts availability, higher maintenance costs, and extended downtime when repairs are required. In some cases, older equipment cannot be economically repaired at all, leading to grounded aircraft and operational uncertainty. Our upgrade program directly resolves these concerns by replacing aging, unsupported avionics with current-generation Garmin technology that is fully supported for years to come.
The Garmin G600 TXi and GFC 600 autopilot bring a level of reliability, parts availability, and manufacturer backing that older systems simply cannot match. By installing these systems, operators eliminate the most common failure points in legacy flight decks, while gaining the benefits of modern safety features and improved performance. This transition not only removes the looming risk of unserviceable components but also reduces the overall cost of ownership by minimizing unscheduled avionics maintenance.
Beyond addressing immediate obsolescence concerns, the upgrade positions your Citation CJ1 or CJ2 for the future. With a modern Garmin platform at the core, you gain a stable foundation that supports upcoming software enhancements and optional equipment additions. This ensures your aircraft remains competitive in the pre-owned market and compliant with evolving operational requirements. The result is a flight deck that is more dependable, easier to maintain, and better equipped to meet the demands of the next decade and beyond.
