Retrofitting the Citation Excel with a G5000

Illinois-based Elliott Aviation (Booth IS14) is highlighting its recent upgrade of a Cessna Citation Excel with Garmin’s G5000 integrated flight deck, shown above. The retrofit replaces the jet’s original Honeywell Primus 1000 equipment, including the autopilot and flight director, to provide WAAS/LPV, ADS-B, XM Weather and electronic charts, plus options like CPDLC and synthetic vision.
