Why Upgrade Your Citation Now? The Cost of Waiting.
Flying a legacy Citation CJ1 or CJ2 with original avionics—whether the Honeywell SPZ-5000 or early Pro Line systems—is becoming a liability. CRT displays are failing, repair costs are skyrocketing, and parts scarcity is increasing downtime.
The Plane Instruments Solution: We don’t just swap screens; we completely revitalize your airframe. By installing the Garmin modernization suite, we replace heavy, outdated wiring and analog systems with a streamlined, digital architecture. This is the Citation CJ1 and CJ2 modernization owners have been waiting for.

Finally, Ditch the Legacy Autopilot.
Stop relying on aging servos and expensive gyro repairs. Our retrofit replaces the temperamental SPZ-5000 system with the digital precision of Garmin.

- Safety Beyond Standard: Features Synthetic Vision Technology (SVT™) for confidence in IFR conditions and a digital autopilot that stabilizes the aircraft unlike anything in the legacy market.
- GFC™ 600 Autopilot: A true digital autopilot retrofit that brings Emergency Descent Mode (EDM) to the CJ1, automatically descending the aircraft if cabin depressurization occurs.
CJ2 Modernization
Next-Gen Connectivity & Weather Intelligence.
Bring your CJ2 up to 2025 standards. This program offers a “zero-compromise” solution, integrating systems usually found in heavy jets directly into your cockpit.

- Automated Weather Radar: The GWX™ 8000 StormOptix weather radar features "Auto Mode," which automatically adjusts tilt and gain to profile storm cells, removing the guesswork from weather avoidance
- Optimized Navigation: Dual GTN™ Xi navigators provide faster processing speeds, coupled VNAV descents, and visual approach guidance, making complex arrivals effortless.
