Textron Aviation Inc., a Textron Inc. (NYSE:TXT) company, today announced its Tampa Service Center has successfully completed the facility’s first Garmin G5000 installation for Martin Truex Jr., Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series driver of the No. 78 Furniture Row Toyota and the 2017 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Regular Season Champion. In addition to the Beechjet 400A’s G5000 avionics upgrade, Truex Jr. previously installed Genuine Hawker winglets and completed a full interior and exterior refurbishment as part of his 400XPR upgrade package.
“We are delighted to have Martin Truex Jr. as a champion for our Hawker 400XPR program. As an avid user of business aviation, he extensively utilizes his aircraft to travel to over 36 NASCAR events annually,” said Kriya Shortt, senior vice president, Textron Aviation Customer Service. “In selecting the 400XPR modifications, Martin not only benefits from upgrading his aircraft in stages and on his schedule, but he also receives factory-direct service and support from the experts at Textron Aviation who designed and manufactured his aircraft.”
The installation was recently completed at the company’s Tampa Service Center, which boasts a team with extensive expertise in avionics installations. The Hawker 400XPR program is fully customizable, can be performed in stages or in unison. The full Hawker 400XPR package includes Genuine Hawker Winglets and new Williams International FJ44-4A-32 engines, a combination that offers a 33 percent increase in range along with improvements in runway and hot/high performance. The Hawker 400XPR has a range of 1,970 nautical miles with four passengers departing a 5,000-foot elevation airport at 30°C. The Williams International FJ44-4A32 engines enable the Hawker 400XPR to climb directly to FL450 in only 19 minutes at max takeoff weight.
In addition to winglets and new engines, the 400XPR upgrade offers customers the option of retaining their aircraft’s existing Rockwell Collins Pro Line 4 avionics or upgrading with Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 or Garmin G5000 avionics. Customers can also choose between multiple exterior repaint and interior refurbishment options, as well as a customized, factory certified re-conditioning that includes Textron Aviation’s industry-leading ProParts coverage and a five-year Williams International engine warranty.
Garmin’s G5000 integrated flight deck significantly modernizes the cockpit with zero-time avionics and provides a path to fulfill global airspace modernization initiatives, including Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B). The G5000 system also supports a wide range of capabilities including coupled wide area augmentation system (WAAS/SBAS) and PBN/RNP 0.3 with LPV/APV approaches.
