Banyan Air Service has been named as an authorized dealer and installation facility for the Advent Aircraft System GPS/digital anti-skid braking system (Advent eABS). Advent recently secured U.S. FAA supplemental type certification for installation of the eABS on Beechcraft King Air B300/B300Cs equipped with Rockwell Collins Pro Line/GPS 4000S or Garmin G1000/430W/530W avionics.
Designed for turbine aircraft weighing up to 20,000 pounds (9,072 kg) maximum takeoff weight, the eABS improves braking, tire protection, tactile feedback (during anti-skid operation, the pedal pushes back), low-speed cut out (the system will not operate in anti-skid mode when aircraft speed is below 10 knots) and touchdown protection.
The installation requires minimal downtime and can be performed separately or during regularly scheduled maintenance inspections, said Matthew Schepers, director of MRO services for Banyan Air Service (Booth G089). Certification work for the King Air B200 and Pilatus PC-12/12NG is ongoing, Schepers added.
Based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Banyan Air Service is an authorized service center for Beechcraft, Piaggio, Quest and Honda Aircraft. Banyan also services Citations, Learjets, Hawkers, Challengers and Falcons.
