The update also includes Remote Wake, allowing operators to power up aircraft avionics systems from outside the cockpit for pre\u2011flight planning, database updates and maintenance checks.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cWe continue to invest in innovations that support the long\u2011term success of our Cessna piston products,\u201d said Lannie O\u2019Bannion, senior vice president, Sales &amp; Marketing. \u201cGarmin System Release 7 and the dual electronic ignition system improvements provide pilots with advanced tools that simplify operations, improve situational awareness and deliver a more modern and intuitive flying experience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nReplacing the previous dual magneto ignition system, the dual EIS improves maintenance intervals and overall operation of the aircraft. This solid-state electronic technology integrates advanced components and decreases the number of internal moving parts in addition to reducing operating costs.<\/p>\n<p>\nThese enhancements further modernize the Cessna piston fleet, providing pilots with updated technology and dependable performance features that reinforce the aircraft\u2019s reputation for capability, efficiency and enduring value.<\/p>\n<p><b>About Textron Aviation Inc.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nWe have been inspiring the journey of flight for nearly 100 years.
