Flight Resource LLC has achieved an STC to add a reversible MT propeller to the Aviat Husky. The new prop installation allows the Husky, whether equipped with skis, wheels or floats, much greater maneuverability as it can move in reverse. The reverse taxi is particularly useful for water operations where the maneuverability is affected by water currents and wind.
“If you end up at a mucky beach you don’t have to get out and push,” said Aviat’s president Stu Horn. “You just put it in reverse.” The attached video also shows the pilot’s ability to park the airplane in a hangar by using the reverse function.
