Safe Flight Certifies AutoPower on G150

Safe Flight Instrument’s AutoPower autothrottle system has made its way onto the Gulfstream G150 (and via retrofit the G200). The STCed system, available as a factory-new option or via retrofit from authorized Gulfstream service centers, can extend the aircraft’s range or payload with its fuel savings. “You can take one extra passenger and his bags on a flight because of the fuel savings from the AutoPower system,” said sales manager Ken Bannon.

The system is designed to operate in all phases of flight, from takeoff through landing, including throttle retard functions and go-around capability. It can be used with and without the Pro Line 21 autopilot, and is completely integrated into the avionics.
