Cessna CJ Series Avionics

[Guptar]

Cessna seems to be changing over most over its airframes in the CJ series to the Garmin kit. So far we have;

Mustang - G1000
M2 - G3000
CJ3,CJ4 - Pro Line 21
XLS - Pro Line 21
Latitude - G5000
Ten -G5000
Longitude -G5000

The airframes that are still Pro Line 21, will they likely remain so.

Has anyone had any experiance with the G5000, is it a true competitor to the pro Line series. How does it compare to the EASY kit in teh Falcons and the proline Fusion in the Bonbardier and Gulfstream setups.

Interesting since Learjet has also picked the G5000 for the new Lear 70/75.

Few of those NAV systems on Bizjets do RNP, and even fewer do it well (e.g., RNP .1) ...as all new modern air transport jets now have done for over a decade, with advantageous and much safer RNP based procedures, in places like at PAJN, NZQN, or CYLW. None in the Bizjet fleet (that I know of) yet do GBAS based GLS, with associated RNP legs either. All of which (i.e., RNP + GLS) is the future ICAO global standard for NAV. Hence, those BizAv avionic systems will all, including even the latest Easy, Proline, and Garmin models, likely end up being prematurely obsolete. This is particularly true since they focus on "straight-in angular criteria LPV", which horrendously wastes valuable terminal area airspace in busy metro areas, and can't serve complex paths to runways at critical locations where most needed, and thus are already becoming obsolete.
