The Cessna Citation M2 Gen2 is designed and produced by Textron
Aviation Inc., a Textron Inc. (NYSE: TXT) company.
Garmin Autothrottles further enhances the Citation M2 Gen2's
capabilities by optimizing engine power, simplifying flight
management and increasing overall operating efficiency. With this
advanced technology, pilots can expect to experience smoother and
more predictable flight profiles, providing them with even greater
control and precision while flying.
"Adding Garmin Autothrottles into the Citation M2 Gen2
exemplifies Textron Aviation's ongoing commitment to product
investment across our entire product lineup,” said Lannie
O’Bannion, senior vice president, Sales & Flight Operations.
“With its intelligent automation and streamlined operation, the
integration of autothrottles in the aircraft provides pilots added
precision and efficiency.”
Fully integrated with the Citation M2 Gen2’s Garmin G3000®
avionics system, Garmin Autothrottles streamlines operations from
takeoff to landing by managing aircraft speed, engine performance
and power to allow the aircraft to climb, descend or maintain
altitude. It automatically manages engine thrust, optimizing
airspeed and fuel efficiency, and adjusts engine power based on
factors like altitude, airspeed, and aircraft weight. By
maintaining precise control over these parameters, it ensures a
smoother and more comfortable flying experience for passengers.
Additionally, Garmin Autothrottles includes features to prevent
exceedance conditions and provides alerts to pilots if any
deviations occur, enhancing overall peace of mind.
