Textron Aviation announced on Friday that the Cessna Citation M2 Gen2 business jet will be outfitted with Garmin Autothrottles. Designed to reduce pilot workload, the upgrade will be available starting in mid-2025.
The Garmin autothrottle system will be fully integrated with the M2 Gen2’s Garmin G3000 avionics suite, allowing it to manage engine performance and power “based on factors like altitude, airspeed, and aircraft weight.” Textron noted that the system also includes features that will prevent exceedance conditions and alert pilots if deviations occur.
