NewsMay 28, 2024
CHARLOTTE, N.C. Collins Aerospace (an RTX business) has been granted certification approval from the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) for upgrading the avionics in the Cessna Citation CJ1+/2+ aircraft registered in Europe.
The light passenger jets -- used widely in Europe -- are now eligible for fitting with the advanced functionality of the Collins Aerospace Pro Line Fusion integrated avionics system after receiving the EASA certification approval.
According to the Collins Aerospace announcement, the upgraded avionics system is modular and intuitive to use, which eases pilot workload and provides real-time data, visual clarity, and predictability that simplifies operations during the most critical stages of flight.
"Clearing this certification hurdle is a major step forward in providing European CJ customers with a solution that not only enhances their aircraft operations but can also extend the life and functionality of an aircraft," said Nathan Voight, vice president and general manager, Business and Regional Avionics at Collins Aerospace. "This milestone underscores Collins' commitment to supporting the global network of CJ operators with the flight-deck technology that makes operations safer, more efficient, and predictable each and every flight."
