Cessna Citation Bravo panel

See Cessna Citation Bravo for the main article about this subject.

This cockpit is also used in the Learjet 35-A.

Instrumentation

The Citation II Bravo is equipped with a dual Primus 1000 Display and Flight Guidance system with multifunction display. The system enables logical grouping and compact display of the various data required to control the airplane. Data which were previously displayed on various separate instruments can now be electronically grouped together on one cathode ray tube indicator (primary flight display), simplifying and improving instrument crosscheck, and making more data available on a selectable, as needed basis. The airspeed indicators, instantaneous vertical speed indicators, and altimeters which in previous systems displayed their data on separate instruments are now presented on the pilot's and copilot's electronic flight instrument system (EFIS) primary flight displays (PFDs) along with the airplane attitude and navigation information.
