Exton, Pa. -- Innovative Solutions & Support, Inc.(IS&S) has been awarded Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA) Supplemental Type Certification (STC) for ThrustSense on the Pilatus PC-12 Legacy and NG. 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. ThrustSense has already been TCCA certified and operating in Canada as part of the PC-12 IS&S integrated NexGen cockpit. Installations can be completed by any PC-12 Service Center.

The IS&S ThrustSense Autothrottle is a full regime autothrottle from take-off roll to landing phases of flight including go-around. ThrustSense incorporates engine and speed exceedance protection and during high pilot workload prevents the airplane from getting dangerously slow or fast and protects against over-torque and over-temp enhancing the safety and capability of the PC-12 Legacy and NG. 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 available as a standalone installation on the PC-12 Legacy and NG or integrated with the IS&S NextGen Flight Deck for retrofit on the PC-12 Legacy. The ThrustSense Autothrottle is also certified on the King Air platform and features certified VMCa protection against loss of control.
