Garmin® Receives STC for Avionics on Select Cessna Citation Aircraft

OLATHE, Kan. — Garmin International Inc., a unit of Garmin Ltd. (Nasdaq: GRMN), announced today that the company has been granted a Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) for Cessna Aircraft Company’s first business jet, the Citation 500 (serial numbers 001-274), paving the way for factory and retrofit installation of the Garmin avionics suite on Citations.

"We pursued the STC to share the benefits of our avionics suite with current fleet of Cessna model 500 owners and operators," said Gary Kelley, Garmin's director of marketing. "For existing owners, our avionics suite will bring their aircraft into the 21st Century, in terms of cutting-edge navigation and communications capabilities."

The Garmin avionics suite consists of dual GNS 530s and dual GTX™ 327 digital transponders. At the heart of the Garmin avionics suite is the revolutionary GNS 530 — an integrated IFR GPS/NAV/ COM/ILS with VOR/LOC and glideslope on a high-resolution color display, delivering navigation-critical data on a single screen for easy pilot scanning and reduced cockpit workload. The GNS 530 also has interface capabilities for traffic, weather and lightning detection to provide increased safety and situational awareness to the owner and operator of the aircraft. The GTX 327 is a Mode-C transponder that displays flight time and current pressure altitude, and its solid-state design requires no warm-up time, reduces power output and lowers heat emissions.

This STC is available at no charge through Garmin Authorized Service and Installation facilities. The STC covers other Garmin avionics combinations, including GNS 530/430 and dual GNS 430 stacks.
