Garmin Autoland and Autothrottle Now
Available for European Operators as a
Retrofit Solution in Select King Air Aircraft
The European Union Aviation Safety Agency recently
approved Garmin to offer its Autoland and Autothrottle
to the retrofit market, starting with select G1000 NXi-
equipped King Air 200 series aircraft.
This certification marks the first time Garmin
Autoland and Garmin Autothrottle have been offered to
European owners and operators as a retrofit solution. Full
autothrottle integration with the G1000 NXi reduces crew
workload in the cockpit by managing aircraft speed and
power and provides engine protection against potential
engine exceedances. In the event of an emergency where
the crew can no longer perform their duties, Garmin
Autoland can control and land the aircraft without
human intervention. See Garmin.com/ALuse for system
requirements and limitations.
Garmin Autothrottle
Garmin’s Autothrottle, offered as a retrofit solution
in the King Air, provides extensive safety-enhancing
features and can greatly reduce workload in the busy
King Air cockpit. Autothrottle is fully integrated with
the G1000 NXi system and provides automatic control
of the engine power levers from takeoff to landing.
Autothrottle keeps power levers in the proper power
setting, minimizing the threat of a possible throttle
rollback. Power settings are based on manufacturer or
user-configurable climb, cruise and descent schedules,
including ITT limits. Additionally, Garmin Autothrottle
provides ITT and torque protection by reducing power
when the system senses potential overtemperature or
overtorque conditions.
Garmin Autoland/Autothrottle is now available for European
operators as a retrofit solution in select King Air aircraft.
