JETTECH STC APPROVED: GARMIN GTN 650/750 FOR
CITATION 550B/560 JETTECH, developer of affordable, aftermarket aircraft solutions, announces it has received approval for an FAA supplemental type certificate (STC) for installing the touchscreen Garmin GTN 650/750 GPS/NAV/ COM on Cessna Citation 550B and 560 series aircraft equipped with the Primus 1000 Integrated Flight Control System (IFCS). The installation is engineered for an autopilot-coupled LPV/WAAS approach and includes a voice- activated intercom and ADS-B In and Out. The installation could potentially affect more than 1000 Bravo, Ultra, Encore and Excel Citation aircraft equipped with the Primus 1000 IFCS. “Owners and operators of these
aircraft have been looking for this kind of a dynamic touch-screen solution to upgrade their cockpits,” says Rob Irwin, founder and member/manager of JETTECH. “With the LPV-integrated feature, pilots will have the highest degree of situational awareness available
while opening up many more airport destinations that were only served with WAAS approaches.” The new STC is for a fully
integrated GPS/NAV/COMM and also covers the installation of the Garmin GTX 33/3000/3X5 transponders, replacing the existing ‘hot mike’ audio panel with the integrated, voice-activated GMA 35; GA35/37 antennas; ADS-B In and Out; satellite weather and music. JETTECH is offering STC installation data packages, AIU, and LPV annunciators through approved, Garmin-authorized dealers. Shipments are scheduled to begin immediately, and JETTECH stands ready to support its customers through the installation process. In addition to the STC install for 550B/560 series Citations, JETTECH is working on an STC for autopilot-coupled LPV/WAAS for the Citation CJs equipped with the ProLine 21 Integrated Avionics System. For early CJs, JETTECH’s STC covers the installation of Garmin GTNs with coupled autopilot LPV-WAAS capability. Also, JETTECH owns the STC install for the Garmin G600 and GTN 650/750 touchscreen series GPS for the Citation 500 series that includes WAAS approvals.

CONSORTIUM GATHERING Ongoing efforts to enhance the capabilities of all U.S. military aircraft received a boost last week at Arizona State University (ASU) during the 2017 Future Airborne Capability Environment (FACE) Consortium members’ meeting, co-hosted by GECO Inc. and ASU. The Open Group FACE™
Consortium is a government and industry partnership that provides standardized, open approaches for defining the avionics environment for military airborne platforms. This meeting provided opportunities for industry and government experts to discuss and share information critical to achieving that goal. Industry co-host GECO, a rapidly
growing aerospace technology company, is a member of the consortium and is actively working to stimulate innovation throughout the industry. One of the company’s most recent contract wins is to support a universal controller for unmanned aerial systems, which incorporates FACE concepts. This year marks the first time an education partner has been a co-host of the meeting that brought together more than 150 experts for three days of discussions.
