Boilerup,
IRU's have been available and Safeflight had all the ICAS messages installed with the Phase 5 upgrade to Epic a few months back.
Same with Lithium-Ion batteries.

Dave,

I've had more than a couple conversations with Cessna salesmen over the last two years, some specifically about the Sovereign, and not once has the availability of IRUs for the Sovereign been mentioned or presented in promotional materials for the aircraft.

Also, Safe Flight's website does not show AutoPower ATs for the Sovereign, though they do for the X.

Again, Gulfstream goes out of their way in their promotional materials to make it known that both IRU and autothrottle are available as options in the G150; if both are presently or will soon be available in the Sovereign, why doesn't Cessna market it?

Like I posted previously,

Boilerup,
I think there are some more upcoming announcements for the Sovereign, and I am betting they all will be in the "package".

That livery *rocks*!!!


As far as the performance of the 250 vs CL300... the 250 is going to be better-- a scaled down 550 wing with the same engines as the CL300... it is going to be amazing. Better time to climb, better cruise, longer range, bigger cabin... it will be the class line-leader!

Not to mention .80 LRC-- and you save absolutely nothing by going slower! Credit where credit is due...
