Honeywell
to Provide Avionics Suite for Citation XLS
Honeywell announced on Monday that it has been selected by Cessna
to provide a new integrated avionics suite for the new Citation
XLS light business jet launched here at NBAA. The new Primus 1000
Control Display System (CDS) will feature three 10-by-8-inch LCDs,
cursor control device and drop-down menus. Two of the LCDs will
be used as primary flight displays (PFDs): one for the pilot and
one for the copilot. The third will be in the center of the panel
as a multifunction display. "Working closely with Cessna,
we have jointly created the most advanced human-machine interface
ever put in a light jet cockpit," said John Uczekaj, executive
vp and general manager for Honeywell business, regional and general
aviation.
