New Interior and Paint Schemes Also offered
Cessna has confirmed that its new Corvalis TTX high-performance
single-engine piston features new standard and optional equipment,
all-new interior and paint scheme options, and the Intrinzic flight
deck powered by the Garmin G2000. Intrinzic is a Cessna-designed
cockpit that incorporates the latest developments in human factors
engineering, ergonomics and user experience to create environments
that make flying simpler and more pleasurable.
“We’ve taken an airplane with incredible performance
and made flying it even more natural and instinctive with
Intrinzic,” said Jack J. Pelton, Cessna chairman, president
and CEO. “At the heart of the new Cessna TTX is the first
touch-screen-controlled glass flight deck ever designed for a
piston aircraft. The G2000 represents a new generation in advanced
avionics — simplified, organized, intuitive. This interface
is so advanced, it’s the same as what you’ll find in
the upcoming Cessna Citation Ten business jet.”
The Intrinzic’s G2000 avionics suite is centered on two
14-inch wide aspect ratio, high-resolution LED displays and an
infrared, touch-screen controller. The touch-screen controller
reacts to changes in an infrared grid rather than traditional
surface resistance sensors for better response under a variety of
conditions. The Garmin GTC 570 controller allows multi-function
display page navigation as well as audio and environmental
control.
The MFD, with 1280/800 screen resolution, can be split into two
displays to ease pilot workload, for instance displaying maps and
approach plates during landing.
Standard features include a remote mounted digital audio panel
with improved squelch and noise immunity, dual AHRS, a GFC 700 auto
flight control system, Garmin’s GTS800 traffic system,
Garmin’s GTX 33ES transponder with provisions for ADS-B In
and Out capability, and Garmin’s Electronic Stability
Protection to help a pilot maintain stable flight and help prevent
the onset of stalls, spins, overspeeds and more.
The Corvalis TTX also features the L-3 Trilogy glass panel
standby instrument system making it the first Cessna piston with no
analog instruments. A standard pulse oximeter is available to
monitor pilot blood-oxygen levels, displaying the readings on the
MFD.
Two options include Garmin’s GSR56 Iridium satellite
datalink for worldwide weather and voice/text capability
(subscription required), and the Avidyne TWX670 lightning detection
system.
Interior appointments are also enhanced with the Corvalis TTX
with four new interior schemes — Stealth, Tranquility,
Classic and Twilight — featuring Citation-grade leather.
Responding to customer input, the Corvalis TTX is approved for
operation with the rear seats removed for more carrying
capacity.
Cessna is offering two new exterior paint designs and will
feature a DuPont Clearcoat application. All exterior designs are
painted — no decals.
The TTX is capable of a maximum cruise speed of 235 knots.
The four-seat composite aircraft has a range of 1,250 nm and
is powered by a Continental TSIO-550-C six-cylinder, fuel-injected,
twin turbocharged engine with dual intercoolers. New for the TTX
will be a five-year parts and labor warranty on the engine.
Cessna will begin delivery of the Corvalis TTX in the Second
Quarter of 2012.
