Introducing the advanced, speed-control technology of AutoPower®

Now available for G150, expertly installed by Gulfstream.

Meet your new co-pilot

Any pilot will tell you, efficiently managing power settings, fuel levels and an array of other cockpit factors is challenging to say the least. That is why Gulfstream is proud to offer the availability of AutoPower®, an advanced cockpit technology that reduces crew workload while still achieving improved performance and situational awareness.

Air speed control? Precisely.

AutoPower® is an automatic throttle system now available by Gulfstream to G150 owners and operators. This advanced technology, created by Safe Flight, provides precise air-speed control and engine-target settings using a smooth, pilot-in-the-loop thrust lever control. By managing N1 for takeoff, climb, and speed control, AutoPower® delivers greater passenger comfort, quieter cabin environment, increased payload/range potential and fuel savings.

Installed by Gulfstream

Who better to install AutoPower® in your G150 than those who know it best? Gulfsteam is certified to install the system by the FAA using a Supplemental Type Certificate. Our facilities are industry renowned for expert, efficient, exacting service across our entire fleet making Gulfstream the best choice when the time comes to schedule your installation.
