Avionics
Play with a seriously full deck.
It’s the fastest aircraft ever built for business, or pleasure for that matter. And airplane for airplane, it’s the busiest model in the world’s most-flown line of business jets. There’s one place where all that phenomenal power, speed and day-in, day-out deployment come together with total awareness and complete control. That place is the Citation X cockpit, and it is among the most intuitive and proven flight decks in the sky.
The X panel is dominated by the five 7 x 8-inch (.18 x .20-m) screens of the Primus 2000 autopilot/flight director system. Left and right Primary Flight Displays (PFDs) and Multi-Function Displays (MFDs) flank a center-mounted Engine Indicating and Crew Alerting System (EICAS) display to provide pilots with a panorama of timely practical and functional information. This totally integrated system is standard equipment. Dual Flight Management Systems (FMSs) with the Global Positioning System (GPS) are also standard on the world’s fastest business jet. So are the dual LASEREF IV Inertial Reference Systems (IRSs), TCAS II and Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System (EGPWS).
