flyExclusive, a private jet charter company, will install the Garmin G5000 advanced flight deck on 10 of its Cessna Citation Excel aircraft. Force Aviation has partnered with the charter company to complete the installations.
The modernized layout of the G500 flight deck is optimized for fewer hand/eye movements in the cockpit, allowing flight crews to have complete control over navigation and communications systems, traffic surveillance, electronic checklist entries and remote audio/intercom systems, as well as optional charting, traffic, weather, entertainment and custom display options.
“flyExclusive is harnessing technology innovation in a way no other part 135 operator in the marketplace can match,” said Tommy Sowers, president of flyExclusive. “By upgrading our aircraft with the G5000, we’re elevating our fleet to incorporate the best of the best in avionics technology.”
Additional benefits of the G5000 for flyExclusive’s fleet include increased dispatch reliability, enhanced safety for crews and passengers due to increased situational awareness, familiarity for pilots trained in Garmin avionics systems, and the ability to display charts, datalink weather, detailed taxi diagrams, and synthetic vision.
Dave Brown, manager of integrated flight deck retrofit programs with Garmin, said, “We designed the G5000 to provide one of the most intuitive pilot-vehicle interfaces available in any business jet avionics systems.”
