Embraer Adds Autothrottle Option for Phenom 300E
New feature assists pilots in various flight phases
Embraer Phenom 300E with autothrottle

Embraer Executive Jets is adding autothrottle as an available option for new-production Phenom 300Es starting in the third quarter of 2024, the company announced today. It will also offer the new feature as a retrofit for in-service Phenom 300Es with “factory-incorporated provisions” via a service bulletin available in the following quarter.

According to Embraer, autothrottle will enhance the light jet’s “pilot-centric” Prodigy Touch Flight Deck, which uses the Garmin G3000 avionics suite as its platform. Autothrottle will assist pilots in throttle control during various phases of flight; for passengers, this will translate to more comfort in the cabin, the company added.
