BOISE, Idaho – Western Aircraft has been named an Advent Aircraft Systems dealer for its Advent eABSTM anti-skid braking system fort the Pilatus PC-12 and Beechcraft King Air B300 and B200 aircraft.
The eABS requires no change to the existing brake system, according to company officials.
It provides improved braking performance in all conditions, reduces the risk of flat-spotted or blown tires, lessens the risk of prop erosion and FOD ingestion, and allows for hard braking at touchdown speeds, officials add.
The eABS was first certified on the Eclipse EA500/550 in December 2013 with more than 110 systems in operation to date.
In addition to the certification for the Pilatus PC-12 and Beechcraft King Air B300/B300C/B200, Advent’s eABS is currently planned or being developed for other aircraft types, such as the Beechcraft T-6B/C and USAF T-38C, for both retrofit and OEM application.
