The ThrustSense Autothrottle is the first turboprop full regime autothrottle certified by the FAA in 2017.
Following recent U.S. installations, the first Canadian installation on a PC-12 Legacy with the G600 flight deck was just completed.

Command of the revolutionary autothrottle is housed in an easy to install Flight Instrument Standby that provides standby functionality and allows for no structural modifications to the existing throttle quadrant.

The ThrustSense Autothrottle is also certifed on the King Air platform and features certified VMCa protection against loss of control.
