Greenville, S.C. - Stevens Aerospace and Defense Systems, LLC (Stevens) is pleased to announce that they have completed and delivered the industry’s first, and second, post-STC King Air 350 Garmin Autothrottle with Autoland (AT/AL) installations. These aircraft safety modifications were completed at Stevens’ Smyrna, Tennessee (MQY) MRO location with back-to-back installations in September and October. As soon as the initial installation was complete, the Stevens’ Nashville team immediately started installation on a second King Air 350 AT/AL with more installations scheduled. Both of these installations were installed on the King Air 350 with stock -60A engines and four-bladed props with other engine/propellor configurations expected from Garmin soon. “There has been an extremely high-level of interest in this safety modification over the last several months with many owners waiting in line for the STC completion”, said Gary Brown, Technical Sales for Stevens’ MQY MRO. “We’ve been a leader of the highly popular Garmin G1000NXi flightdeck conversions for King Air for many years for both civilian and military/government operated aircraft. This modification now makes the plane even safer, more efficient, and now gives everyone in the air and on the ground more peace of mind”. Stevens completes this and other Gamin modifications for King Air, Citation, and many other airframes at their Smyrna (Nashville), TN and Greenville, SC MRO locations.
