10-13-2021, 04:13 PM #1IS&S Autothrottle Offered For Citations And Phenoms
https://aviationweek.com/shownews/nb...ations-phenoms
Versions of an aftermarket autothrottle system developed by Innovative Solutions & Support (IS&S) for Text(Username Protected) Aviation Beechcraft King Airs and the Pilatus PC-12 will be offered for retrofit on the Cessna Citation CJ series starting in 2022, with follow-on availability on the Embraer Phenom 100/300 family.
Some other news stories that doesn't mention Phenom availability.

While no fixed pricing was set, Askarpour projected that the cost would be similar to that of the King Air installations—less than $100,000, all-in.

10-15-2021, 04:07 PM #4Well maybe when Honda Jet releases the 2600 with auto-throttles and auto-brakes maybe Embraer will finally get these items implemented!
I would really like auto-brakes more then auto-throttle. I don't know why, but I just can't get the hang of the sudden brake grab on the 300! -
