Avionics
Epic voyages deserve an aptly named flight deck.
Fulfilling the long-range missions that the Sovereign is capable of requires a flight deck that delivers proven global avionics performance. Which is why Cessna engineers equipped it with the Honeywell Epic™ avionics suite. This supremely capable system integrates some of the most advanced navigation and flight control capabilities ever offered in this category of business jet, including electronic charts and approach plate capability. Meaning that the Sovereign won’t just take you to far-away places. It’ll take you far into the future, as well.
The system’s centerpiece is a quartet of 8 x 10-inch (.20 x .25 m) LCD displays. For optimum situational awareness, two Primary Flight Displays (PFDs) depict aircraft attitude, altitude, airspeed, vertical speed and heading references at the pilot’s and copilot’s stations. These PFDs flank two centrally mounted displays – one serving as a Multi-Function Display (MFD), and the other as an Engine Indicating and Crew Alerting System (EICAS) panel. Radio tuning is also presented on the MFD displays, and is controlled by cursor control devices located in the center pedestal or through either FMS. Reversionary switching from either PFD to the central displays provides backup redundancy.
