Elliott Aviation (Booth 275) is pursuing an STC for a Garmin ADS-B solution for the Cessna Citation Excel/XLS that will satisfy the ADS-B OUT mandate and the ADS-B IN requirement via a Bluetooth compatible device through Garmin's Flight Stream wireless gateway. The solution will act as a bridge program to Elliott's recently announced Garmin G5000 retrofit for those aircraft, as well as provide a significant discount for future G5000 installations.

According to Elliott, the installation includes dual remote mount Garmin GTX-3000 smart transponders, GDL 88 datalink, GA-36 antenna and Flight Stream 110 to provide WAAS/GPS to the GTX 3000. The STC is similar in design to Elliott's ADS-B solutions for other airframes, including the 2002 and newer Pro Line 21 Hawkers and Premier I and IA.

The design does not require additional modifications and provides seamless integration to existing cockpit controls. In addition to certifying Garmin ADS-B solutions, Elliott was the first dealer to do a retrofit installation on a Part 25 aircraft, installing two systems on Beechjet 400A/XPs, with 16 sold.
