Innovative Solutions & Support (IS&S) has named Hampton Aviation as a IS&S authorized dealer and installer. The IS&S Autothrottle (A/T), ThrustSense, is a full regime autothrottle from takeoff to landing phases of flight including go around.

A key ThrustSense safety feature for the King Air is Vmca mitigation. ThrustSense computes and controls appropriate power levels reducing pilot workload and increasing situational awareness providing a new level of convenience and safety for King Air owners and operators. ThrustSense is currently STC approved on the B200; STC approval for the B300/350 models are expected by the end of 2019.
