Airbus DS Looks To Genesys for NC212i Autopilot

In conjunction with PT Dirgantara Indonesia, Airbus Defence & Space is undertaking a program to update the C212 Aviocar utility transport as the NC212i, to be built in Indonesia. The partnership has selected Genesys Aerosystems of Mineral Wells, Texas, to provide its S-Tec 5000 digital autopilot for the NC212i. The system provides a range of three-axis autopilot functions, including course intercept, vertical speed hold, indicated air speed hold and straight-and-level recovery. The S-Tec 5000 is fully integrated with the NC212i’s EFIS displays.
