patented ThrustSense® Autothrottle system has been selected by the
US Army to be installed on their C-12 (B200) aircraft equipped with
ProLine 21 avionics suites. This advanced technology will provide
full flight envelope protection, from takeoff to landing, including
go-around, enabling pilots to automatically control engine power
settings for enhanced safety and efficiency. With a September 2024
contract award, deliveries of the IS&S ThrustSense Autothrottle
system are set to begin immediately, with ongoing installations
planned.
The ThrustSense Autothrottle reduces pilot workload by computing
and adjusting power levels automatically, bringing a new standard
of safety and convenience to operators of the King Air and C-12
platforms. It ensures stabilized approaches by maintaining optimal
descent speeds and protects against critical flight conditions,
including overtorque, overtemperature, and dangerously slow or fast
speeds during high-workload scenarios. Additionally, ThrustSense
guards against VMCa (Minimum Control Speed in Air), proportionally
reducing engine power to maintain directional control.
Controlled by an easy-to-install Integrated Standby Unit (ISU),
the ThrustSense system requires no structural modifications to the
throttle quadrant and can be installed with minimal aircraft
downtime. The ISU combines autothrottle control with upgraded
standby functionality, making it an ideal retrofit solution.
“With the King Air’s versatility across a broad range of
missions, operators are increasingly focused on improving
operational efficiency and reducing crew workload,” said Larry
Riddle, Vice President of Sales & Marketing at IS&S.
“ThrustSense is a perfect example of how IS&S is leading the
way in cockpit automation, enhancing both safety and
performance.”
ThrustSense is globally certified for Beechcraft King Air B200
and B300 aircraft and is standard on the King Air 260 and 360
production models. The system is also available for Pilatus PC-12
Legacy and NG platforms, with retrofits offered through authorized
IS&S service centers worldwide.
