The Cessna Citation Ascend is designed and manufactured by
Textron Aviation Inc., a Textron Inc. (NYSE:TXT) company.
The Ascend program includes two test articles – Prototype
(Proto) and P1 – which have accumulated nearly 600 flight hours
through more than 200 flights.
"Citation business jets are renowned for their superior
performance and productivity,” said Lannie O'Bannion, senior vice
president of Global Sales & Flight Operations. “Including the
Garmin G5000 in the Citation Ascend demonstrates our continued
commitment to designing and delivering the best aviation experience
for our customers. We can’t wait to see this aircraft deliver to
customers.”
The Ascend is designed to bring a new cockpit, improved
performance and a luxurious cabin to the midsize business jet
market. The aircraft's state-of-the-art avionics, autothrottles,
high payload capacity and impressive range offer customers reduced
pilot workload and the ability to do more and go farther.
When equipped with the latest Garmin G5000 avionics suite, the
Ascend will feature an array of new advanced features and
technology from Garmin, including Synthetic Vision Guidance System
(SVGS) shown on the primary flight displays, that couples with
Synthetic Vision Technology (SVT) to support approach minima as low
as 150 ft (46 m). SVGS provides a continuous, geo-spatially correct
depiction of the external scene topography, including obstacles,
augmented by the display of the runway.
Expanded SVT Capabilities for Improved Taxiway
Routing
SVT enhancements include a 3D exocentric view of the SafeTaxi®
airport environment to aid situational awareness while taxiing. SVT
also displays 3D building footprints including hangars, terminals
and towers, taxiways, aprons, signs and other markings to help
reduce runway incursions by providing guidance while taxiing at
airports contained in the SafeTaxi database. The enhancements also
support pilot situational awareness by increasing topographical
clarity, sharpening water and terrain boundaries, improving
obstacle and powerlines display and enhancing runway and airport
sign depictions. SVT introduces multiple viewpoints for the first
time and integrates with the new Taxiway Routing feature that
allows the flight crew to use the touchscreen controller to enter
taxi routes, which then provides guidance on the 2D navigational
maps or 3D SVT depictions – particularly at large, unfamiliar and
complex airports during low visibility conditions.
Enhanced Traffic Awareness and Separation
The Ascend can utilize the standard automatic dependent
surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) In capability for Cockpit Display of
Traffic Information (CDTI) Assisted Visual Separation (CAVS). CAVS
increases pilots’ traffic awareness and assists pilots in
maintaining separation from preceding aircraft equipped with ADS-B
out during visual approaches to landing. Runway Occupancy Awareness
(ROA) utilizes Surface Indications and Alert (SURF-IA) and ADS-B
data to provide alerts when attempting a takeoff or landing on an
occupied runway.
Advanced Connectivity and Data Exchange
For qualifying regions, the GDL 60 Datalink offers
high-bandwidth data exchange and connectivity options, including
Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and LTE networks. The GDL 60 features the ability
to complete automatic wireless database downloads over network
connections while the aircraft is powered off. Additionally,
enhancements to the optional GDL 69A allow the Garmin G5000 suite
to access more SiriusXM Weather products.
Comprehensive Display and Situational Awareness
The G5000 integrated avionics suite features three
landscape-oriented flight displays with split-screen capability,
allowing pilots to simultaneously view maps, charts, checklists,
Terrain Awareness Warning System (TAWS), Traffic alert and
Collision Avoidance System (TCAS), flight plan information, weather
and more, increasing situational awareness for the flight crew. It
also includes Synthetic Vision Technology (SVT) and fully automatic
advanced weather radar and ADS-B Out compliance and allows for
future growth and expansion through software updates.
Textron Aviation announced in May that the best-selling Cessna
Citation Latitude and flagship Citation Longitude would also
include these Garmin G5000 avionics suite enhancements.
About the Cessna Citation Ascend
With sleek and modern features, customers will enjoy many of the
luxuries found in the bestselling Citation Latitude and Citation
Longitude, including a flat floor to provide generous legroom and
flexibility for passengers. The aircraft will offer Pratt &
Whitney Canada PW545D engines designed to deliver fuel efficiency
and increased thrust, as well as state-of-the-art Garmin G5000
avionics that feature the latest software and hardware, including
autothrottle technology. The Ascend also features a Honeywell RE100
[XL] Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) approved for unattended
operations.
With 19 standard USB charging ports and three universal outlets
throughout the aircraft, all crew and passengers will enjoy access
to at least one charging port in the Citation Ascend. The aircraft
has a standard seating configuration of nine passengers.
