ThrustSense® Autothrottle for Citation CJ2, CJ3, CJ4 & M2
The ThrustSense® Autothrottle system for Citation CJ2, CJ3, CJ4 and M2 series aircraft outfitted with Pro Line 21, Pro Line Fusion and Garmin avionics is expected to be certified in the coming months.
The IS&S ThrustSense® Autothrottle is a full regime system that allows the pilot to automatically control the power setting of the engines and speed targets from takeoff to landing phases of flight, including go-around. The autothrottle system is engaged for takeoff and advances the Throttle Levers to the takeoff detent. After the five-minute takeoff power setting the throttles are automatically repositioned to the climb MCT detent.
ThrustSense provides critical VMCa protection, eliminating ‘low-and-slow’ challenges associated with twin Jet operations enabling automatic control of engine power settings guarding the power levels within safe limits. ThrustSense will position the Throttle Levers with precision and without “hunting” for a target air speed.
ThustSense manages engine power throughout all phases of flight and eliminating over/under speed situations, further reducing pilot workload.
IS&S’s Integrated Standby Unit enables full autothrottle control interface as well as full standby suite capability.
