sealed lead acid battery on Cessna Citation aircraft.
“We are extremely excited to now be able to offer this advanced battery to the 6,800 Cessna Citations in operation around the world,” Gill Batteries General Manager Armando Chacon said. “These Citation owner-operators now have options to increase the efficiency and performance while reducing the maintenance costs of their aircraft.”

The second CJ3 scheduled to receive the upgrade is currently in work at Duncan Aviation and will be delivered in early June. Duncan Aviation has nearly 20 additional CJ3 aircraft scheduled for the upgrade over the next 18 months with others seriously inquiring, and will be performing the installation at its main facilities in Battle Creek, Michigan; Lincoln, Nebraska; and Provo, Utah; and at select satellite avionics locations in 2018
“We’re thrilled to have the certification in hand and the road clear to begin upgrading numerous CJ3 aircraft with
upgrade, which operators are anxiously awaiting their upgrades and look forward to flying in the next-generation f light deck provided
with this modification.”
Along with being certified WAAS/LPV, the baseline Pro Line Fusion upgrade meets the current 2020 mandate for ADS-B, as well as giving a clearer path for future mandates. The Pro Line Fusion f light deck replaces the factory-installed portrait displays with larger 14.1-inch landscape touchscreen primary f light displays. The new system includes intuitive, touch-interactive maps and easy-to-use icons, giving the pilot the ability to control items on the screen through touch as well as through two new cursor control panels and a new QWERTY keyboard, which replaces the current FMS CDU mounted in the center pedestal
