Duncan Aviation unveiled five interior refurbishment designs for owner-flown Cessna Citation CJ3s that the company expects will be in demand among customers upgrading to its Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion flight deck retrofit, which is set to receive certification early next year. The interiors feature light upper fuselages with darker lower sidewalls and carpeting, the complementary tones “expanding the feel of the cabin,” said Duncan designer Rachael Weverka. Two of the interiors feature neutral tones, and the other palettes are gray, taupe and cream.
Using maintenance-friendly materials, the cabin refurb and Fusion upgrade can be performed simultaneously, minimizing downtime. “The materials in these packages will be in stock and ready to go,” said completions sales representative Brian Leitschuck.
Cabin refurbishment, with or without the Fusion upgrade, requires about two months, according to Duncan. The Battle Creek, Michigan-based MRO is also developing six exterior paint schemes for the CJ3 to round out the offering. No pricing has yet been provided, but Duncan will offer up to a 20percent discount for customers who get the interior upgrade, new paint and Fusion flight deck.
