Elliott Aviation has completed its 100th Garmin G5000 flight deck retrofit installation with the delivery of a Cessna Citation XLS operated by Centennial Jets. The G5000 avionics include three large landscape displays, two touchscreen controllers, dual GI 275 standby instruments, Garmin’s automatic flight control system, synthetic vision with 3D taxi and taxiway routing, runway occupancy awareness, and controller-pilot data link communications.
