Zurich, Switzerland  —  Jet Aviation Zurich recently installed the first precision navigating system (P-RNAV) into a Cessna 650 Citation III.

Following significant engineering and interior pre-work by Jet Aviation Zurich's technical teams, the 22-year old Cessna 650 underwent a comprehensive avionics, refurbishment and soundproofing upgrade. The project included the installation of all new state-of-the-art avionics equipment and the refurbishment of the entire cabin while maintaining the highest noise reduction standards.

Jet Aviation Zurich added four more systems as part of the avionics upgrade: a new high-performance weather radar with a new multi-function radar display, a cockpit voice recorder, an enhanced ground proximity warning system, and a runway awareness and advisory system that increases safety on ground as well as for the final approach. All equipment was installed and certified according to EASA standards. The cabin was enhanced with a new seating configuration upholstered in beige leather and with a thermally isolated soundproofing installation.

"Our client was extremely pleased with the professional installation and comprehensive support," says Paul Kempf, general manager a.i. Jet Aviation Zurich, and adds, "Congratulations to all those whose extensive know-how and close cooperation throughout the project resulted in such an excellent job."
