Max Weldon, with over 2,000 hours logged in the CE525 series lineup, demos the all-Garmin solution for the CJ2. Ride along and see for yourself how this upgrade can make your CJ2 even more capable.
G600 TXi FLIGHT DISPLAYS
G600 TXi flight displays deliver a modern touchscreen interface with advanced PFD/MFD capabilities, offering clear primary flight data, NEXRAD weather, terrain, traffic, and SafeTaxi® airport diagrams. Synthetic Vision (SVT™) adds a realistic 3D view of your surroundings, enhancing situational awareness in IFR or night flying. CJ2-specific features like stabilized approach cues and V-speed callouts support easier single-pilot operations. Displays are customizable with split-screen options to show charts, weather, terrain, traffic, and flight plans. Compatible with various weather and traffic systems, including ADS-B In, GWX™ 8000 radar, and Stormscope®, the G600 TXi boosts safety and confidence in every flight.
GTN™ Xi NAVIGATORS
GTN Xi navigators bring advanced GPS/NAV/COMM functionality to your CJ2, enabling LPV approaches down to 200’ and advisory Visual Approaches to more runways. When paired with the GFC 600 autopilot, they support coupled VNAV descents and allow quick creation of holding patterns. With graphical flight planning, airway routing, and wireless flight plan and database updates via Connext®, GTN Xi simplifies every phase of flight. Plus, the GTN 750Xi can display radar returns when connected to a GWX 8000 system.
TXi EIS
TXi EIS replaces the legacy EIS solution and features a newly refined gauge layout and user interface. Manually determining power settings are a thing of the past with EIS-generated or user-selected N1 targets for takeoff, go-around and max continuous thrust settings. N1 reference bugs, which take into account engine and anti-ice status as well as outside air temperature, are computed automatically and integrated into the TXi EIS display. Pilot-defined N1 reference bugs are also available in the system. Additionally, CJ2 pilots can take advantage of integrated start timers on the TXi EIS display, helping pilots respect transient engine limitations during the engine start.
GFC 600 AUTOPILOT
The GFC 600 digital autopilot delivers CJ2 pilots superior in-flight characteristics and new operational capabilities such as VNAV descents, fully coupled go-around capability, and much more. Garmin’s Electronic Stability and Protection (ESP) for the CJ2 takes into account flap position and the aircraft stick shaker to more precisely activate underspeed protection and other ESP capabilities. Guidance from the GTN 750Xi allows the GFC 600 to fly fully-coupled VNAV descents leading to a wide range of precision, non-precision and GPS-guided approaches –– as well as holds, procedure turns, and more. The CJ2 solution also features Emergency Descent Mode (EDM). In the event of a loss of cabin pressurization, EDM is capable of automatically descending the aircraft to a preset altitude without pilot intervention to help avert hypoxic situations. A color display and flight level change (FLC) mode round out new GFC 600 features on a modernized mode controller for this installation.
GWX 8000 STORMOPTIX™ WEATHER RADAR WITH AUTO MODE
Weather radar can be complex — but Auto mode simplifies it by automatically adjusting tilt and gain for accurate storm profiling. It helps identify nearby cells, predict lightning and hail, detect turbulence, and reduce ground clutter, all with zero blind range.
A high-def color palette shows up to 4x more detail than traditional radars, making it easier to spot weather gaps or avoid threats. Integrated with TXi displays and GTN 750Xi navigators, it even allows dual pilots to view separate radar returns for maximum situational awareness.
GI 275 STANDBY FLIGHT INSTRUMENT
Your updated panel is completed with a GI 275 standby flight instrument that features optional SVT™ synthetic vision. The bright, high-resolution touchscreen is sunlight-readable and maximizes the available space with an edge-to-edge display. And it provides up to 60 minutes of backup battery power, so you’ll feel confident knowing you’ll get home.
PLANESYNC™ TECHNOLOGY
Managing a jet takes effort — but PlaneSync simplifies it. Using 4G LTE or Wi-Fi via the GDL® 60 datalink, it connects to your avionics so you can monitor your aircraft remotely with the Garmin Pilot™ app.
No more juggling database updates or data cards — PlaneSync keeps systems current and ready. You can remotely check update status, Hobbs and flight times, fuel levels, battery voltage, oil temp, and more. Plus, plan flights from home using Garmin Pilot or ForeFlight, then wirelessly send them to your avionics for a quick and easy start to any trip.
