Advent Aircraft Systems (Booth 1231) is now accepting advance orders for its Advent eABS anti-skid braking system for the Beechcraft King Air B200 series and offering the first 10 customers a $6,000 rebate on the $55,889 system (labor excluded). Operators that order under the incentive will have up to a year to install the system after the STC is issued in order to receive their rebate. FAA STC approval is anticipated in the first quarter of 2017.

Advent's anti-skid system for the B300 series received STC approval in February. The Advent eABS for the B200 is available from the same dealer network as the B300 system—all Textron Aviation company-owned service centers and selected independent authorized King Air service facilities. The system offers operators better directional control, reduced tire wear, shorter stopping distances and less reliance on reduced thrust, thereby mitigating prop erosion and the opportunities for foreign object ingestion.

The Advent eABS anti-skid system was specially designed for turbine aircraft weighing less than 20,000-pounds mtow and requires no changes to existing braking system components and requires minimal downtime for installation. It was first certified for the Eclipse EA500/550 in 2013 and subsequently has been developed for the King Air, the Pilatus PC-12 NG and the Beechcraft T-6B/C.
