Levaero signs dealer agreements with Advent Aircraft Systems

Levaero Aviation of Thunder Bay, Ont., has signed dealer agreements with Advent Aircraft Systems, Inc. for the sale and installation of Advent’s eABS anti-skid braking systems for the Pilatus PC-12 and King Air B200/B300 aircraft.

The Advent eABS is a proven light weight, low-cost, and easily installed anti-skid braking system designed especially for turbine powered aircraft up to 20,000 pounds maximum takeoff weight (MTOW). The system has excellent braking performance and requires no change to existing braking system components.

Advent’s eABS adds a new level of runway performance and dispatch reliability by providing better directional control, reduced tire wear, and potentially shortened stopping distances on dry runways or those contaminated with water, ice, and snow.

“eABS is one more option that we are now able to offer to our customers who are looking for ways to improve safety and reduce their costs,” said Steve Davey, Levaero’s executive vice president and COO. “It helps us to fulfil our promise to our customers of being their one-stop shop,” said Davey.

The eABS is currently Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certified for the Eclipse 500/550, Beechcraft T-6B/C and King Air B300, with Pilatus PC-12 and King Air B200 FAA certification expected in 2Q17.
