Embraer announced a new autothrottle feature that will be available for the Phenom 300E aircraft. The optional feature is set to enhance the already single-pilot-friendly cockpit of the Phenom 300E, which includes the highly advanced Prodigy Touch based on Garmin G3000, further enhancing the aircraft’s operational capabilities.
Pilots will be able to enjoy a more automated and intuitive flying experience through the autothrottle’s advanced automation technology, which will assist in throttle control during various phases of flight. For passengers, this translates to even greater comfort in the cabin. The feature will be available as an optional item for new Phenom 300E aircraft, in the third quarter of 2024.
Embraer is also committed to supporting in-service aircraft via a service bulletin (SB) available from the fourth quarter of 2024, for aircraft that have received factory-incorporated provisions.
“We are excited to introduce autothrottle to the Phenom 300E’s avionics suite,” said Michael Amalfitano, President & CEO of Embraer Executive Jets. “It is another example of Embraer’s mindset of continued improvement, listening to customers feedback and elevating an industry-leading product even further. Innovations like this enhance the experience and deliver even more value to operators. And that is why an aircraft like the Phenom 300E continues to offer the ultimate experience in its category.”
