Tom Clements of King Air® Academy Tests the IS&S Thrust Sense Auto Throttle

In a recent YouTube video posted by King Air® Academy, Tom Clements, author of King Air® Book (Volumes I & II) tests the IS&S Thrust Sense.

The video shows Clements in the left cockpit seat, learning the aspects of the system along with the audience. The Thrust Sense is equipped to a retrofitted King Air® B200GT, owned by IS&S. Clements runs a few different tests including how the system handles take-off, climbs, A/T protection for overspeed, landing, etc.

It’s an excellent video to gain a better understanding of the IS&S system and the level of automation it provides to reduce pilot workload:
