SPOTLIGHT
The installation of Garmin's G5000 avionics system retrofits Citation 560XLS
with the latest in avionics tech, making a proven, trustworthy plane like new
again, while requiring deft coordination and work by the MRO doing the job.
By Walker Jaroch
hat's it take to make an old aircraft new again?
Deft coordination between multiple departments,
a few hundred hours of man-power and the latest in avionics technology - exactly what Elliott
Aviation has been doing by installing the Garmin
G5000 integrated flight deck in Citation 560XLS.
"The beauty of the G5000 is that it upgrades
the airframe to a much more modern aircraft, so
it makes it viable for many years as a useful tool
for the aircraft operators," says Bill Reeves, Elliott
Aviation's director of maintenance services.

As Dave Brown, Garmin's sales manager for the
Citation Excel/XLS program, described, a G5000
install removes the obsolescence-bordering equipment of the Citations and provides them with the
power and advancements of today's technology.
"That tech was all developed in the mid-90s,
came around in the late-90s, so it's still 1990s
technology. The Citation XLS still have CRT primary flight displays. We don't even, in our own
homes, have too many things that still have CRTs
or use equipment from that era of electronics," says
