Citation XLS Cockpit

Citation XLS Cockpit

The Citation XLS is the origin of the entry xls category. It is focused on portability and size. Since it was produced in the early 90's, it lacks the fly by wire and the glass cockpit of more modern xlss. However it does have top of the line analog equipment.
