Primus Elite Flight Deck Displays
Highly reliable LCDs replace the Citation X CRT displays and bring electronic charts and maps, XM graphical weather and video display capability to the cockpit. Cost of ownership is reduced through higher reliability and elimination of the display cooling fans. All this provides a growth path to future advanced features. The full cost of this upgrade is reflected in the aircraft Blue Book value.
Flight Management System FMS 6.1
This upgrade to the FMS provides significant benefits by allowing WAAS/LPV approaches, Take Off and Landing Data (TOLD) and other software enhancements.
Automatic Dependent Surveillance – Broadcast (ADS-B) Out
To meet the various mandates set by numerous regulatory agencies around the world and to bring operational benefits such as fuel, time savings and added safety margins in high-traffic environments, Honeywell is developing products for ADS-B out. The Primus II radio modifications already are complete. Note that FMS 6.1 software is a prerequisite for ADS-B Out capability.
SmartRunway / Smart LandingTM
Designed to break the chain of events leading to either a runway incursion or a runway excursion, the SmartRunway / SmartLanding system increase flight safety by improving situational awareness during approach, landing, taxi and take-off. This safety enhancement is a software upgrade to the existing Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System (EGPWS) on the Citation X.
Aspire 200 Satellite Communication System (satcom)
The Aspire 200 system operates on the Inmarsat satellite network to bring near worldwide coverage through one channel of SwiftBroadband service that enables simultaneous cabin phone, internet access, Virtual Private Network (VPN) and messaging. There are multiple configurations available depending upon your system needs.
T-CAS Change 7.1
For those Citation Xs equipped with the Honeywell CAS 67A TCAS II system, Honeywell will complete the Change 7.1 software upgrade before the end of this year meeting the December 2015 European and International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) mandates.
