EXTON, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Innovative Solutions & Support, Inc.(IS&S) (NASDAQ: ISSC) received
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Supplemental Type Certification
(STC) for its Non-FADEC Turboprop Autothrottle (Patent Pending) for
retrofit in the PC-12. Unique to the industry, the IS&S Autothrottle
manages the PT6 engine, provides for FADEC like engine protection and
prevents engine over torque and over temperature conditions while
providing speed envelope protection easing pilot workload and enhancing
safety.
The IS&S Autothrottle allows a pilot to automatically control the power
settings of the engine. The Autothrottle computes and controls
appropriate power levels and features an automatic take-off and
go-around mode that smoothly brings the turbine engine to max power in a
few seconds.
The Autothrottle includes two other major modes; the torque hold and
airspeed hold modes, where the pilot selects the desired torque or
desired airspeed. At all times and regardless of the mode, the system
protects the aircraft from over and under speed as well as protects the
engine from over torque or over temperature.
When engaged by the pilot, the Autothrottle system adjusts the throttles
automatically to achieve and hold the selected airspeed guarded by a
torque/temperature limit mode. If the pilot manually adjusts the power
level and approaches torque or temperature limits the Autothrottle will
warn the pilot with a built-in throttle handle shaker system.
IS&S offers the Autothrottle to a market that features at least twenty
five different aircraft and over 13,000 individual tail numbers. The
Autothrottle is also offered as part of the previously certified IS&S
NextGen Flight Deck for the PC-12.
