Textron Aviation has adopted Garmin integrated avionics suites for most of its new production airplanes. Surprisingly, though, one of its most popular and long-produced models, the Citation XL/XLS, still comes off the assembly line without the Garmin treatment.

AIN editor-in-chief Matt Thurber goes for a flight to experience the setup.
