IS&S autothrottle OK'd in King Air

摘要

The FAA has awarded an additional supplemental type certificate (STC) for the Innovative Solutions & Support ThrustSense King Air B200 autothrottle, following the system's first STC in May. The new STC covers engine-out mode/Vmca mitigation as well as the use of IS&S's Integrated Standby Unit (ISU), which is required for the STC, as a standby instrument that can replace other standby systems. The engine-out/Vmca is the first STC ever approved by the FAA for this functionality, according to IS&S.
