Elliott Aviation has completed its 10th Garmin G600 TXi and GFC 600 autopilot installation for the Citation CJ1 and CJ2. This reflects growing operator adoption of the Garmin upgrade and the US business aviation services provider’s experience modernising Citation flight decks.

The G600 TXi and GFC 600 combination lets CJ1 and CJ2 operators significantly modernise their avionics while they continue to operate an aircraft platform they know and trust.

The Garmin G600 TXi is a touchscreen flight display designed to bring advanced display technology and an intuitive pilot interface to existing aircraft. Paired with Garmin’s GFC 600 digital autopilot, the installation gives CJ1 and CJ2 operators an integrated avionics and flight-control upgrade designed to modernise the cockpit and improve operational capability.

Greg Lambert, general manager of Elliott Aviation’s Flying Cloud Airport facility near Minneapolis, says: “Completing our 10th G600 TXi and GFC 600 installation is a great milestone for our team and, more importantly, shows that CJ1 and CJ2 operators are seeing real value in modernising these aircraft.”

He adds: “These are proven aircraft with a lot of useful life remaining. This upgrade gives operators a modern cockpit and autopilot solution while allowing them to continue getting value from an aircraft that already fits their mission.”

Garmin received FAA supplemental type certification for the CJ1 upgrade in August 2025, building on its earlier CJ2 approval. Elliott Aviation can complete the installation in 25 working days and offers the system in Silver, Gold and Platinum packages, with 10.6in or 12.1in G600 TXi displays.

The 10 installations add to Elliott Aviation’s portfolio of Garmin retrofit programmes. The company has completed more Garmin G5000, G1000 and G1000 NXi retrofits than any other dealer worldwide, including more than 90 G5000 systems and over 425 G1000/G1000 NXi installations.
