WICHITA — Yingling Aviation has been named a Garmin Integrated Flight Deck dealer, approved by Garmin to install its new G5000 glass upgrade suite.
The G5000 is Garmin’s latest line of satellite-based navigation capabilities, digital management tools, NextGen/SESAR/Eurocontrol operational support for ADS-B and Data Comm/Link 2000+ and graphical display technologies.
Yingling was recently approved to be a member of a limited number of Garmin Upgrade Centers.
“We have been an approved Garmin facility for many years and our extensive experience installing hundreds of Garmin units equips us with the expertise to add this top-of-the-line Garmin equipment to the avionics we currently install,” said Bob Gallop, Yingling’s Vice President, Repair Station Operations. “This appointment means we are factory authorized to install the full range of Garmin solutions from the G5000 on the Citation Excel and XLS jets, G1000 on King Airs, twin engine and single engine, and G300 platforms on single engine airplanes. We will be concentrating on the G5000 upgrade on Citation models included in the upcoming STC and we’re scheduling slots for retrofits to begin as soon as the STC is approved.”
