Innovative Solutions & Support (IS&S) brought a highly modified Pilatus PC-12 to the NBAA 2015 indoor static display, although the changes are all in the cockpit and can’t be seen from the outside, which might mean waiting in line to get a peek inside. The big change will be somewhat subtle, until visiting pilots put their hand on the PC-12’s power lever, which is attached to an electronic and completely clutch-less autothrottle system. Also new in this PC-12 is something more obvious, the IS&S Future Flightdeck. While both can be seen in the PC-12 here, IS&S has also hooked the power lever up to a simulator, so visitors can see and feel it working.
