Cockpit and cabin systems revamp for Cessna's big jet

摘要

Beginning in 2011, Cessna will deliver Citation X business jets with Honeywell Primus Elite avionics systems and a new Honeywell cabin management system featuring MP3 player inputs and high-definition monitors.rnThe upgrade will also be available as a cockpit retrofit option for around 300 in-service Citation X jets through Citation service centres.rnPrimus Elite converts the existing 7 × 8in (180 × 200mm) cathode ray tube displays of the Honeywell Primus 2000 autopilot/ flight director system to more reliable and capable liquid crystal displays that have increased internal computing power to give operators access to functionality only available in newer aircraft.
