In collaboration with Beechcraft, Advent Aircraft Systems received FAA STC approval for its anti-skid braking system on 300-series King Airs equipped with Rockwell Collins Pro Line GPS 4000S or Garmin G1000/430W/530W avionics. This marks the first time that an anti-skid system is available for the King Air, Advent said.
The Advent anti-skid braking system is available through all Textron Aviation company-owned service centers, as well as select authorized King Air service facilities. The company has produced a limited number of units that are available for immediate shipment to service centers.
Advent said its anti-skid braking system is designed for turbine aircraft up to 20,000 pounds mtow and is “proven, lightweight, low-cost and easily installed.” It requires no change to existing braking system components, and installation requires “minimal downtime.”
The company’s anti-skid braking system was first certified on the Eclipse 500/550 in December 2013, and more than 110 ship sets have been delivered to Eclipse to date. The company is now working on STCs for the King Air B200, Pilatus PC-12/12NG and Beechcraft T-6B/C.
