Garmin introduces Smart Rudder Bias for Twins 16 December 2020
Avionics manufacturer Garmin International has introduced a Smart Rudder Bias (SRB) system for Beechcraft Baron and Piper Navajo aircraft to assist with control during one engine inoperative (OEI) operations.
Announced yesterday, the SRB is included in the Garmin Autonomi range of automated flight technology including the GFC 600, and is designed to reduce stress on the pilot during the high workload environment that occurs when one engine is lost.

® International, Inc., a unit of Garmin Ltd. (NASDAQ:GRMN), today announced upgrades to the GFC
™ 600 digital autopilot including the addition of Smart Rudder Bias for select piston twin-engine aircraft. Smart Rudder Bias provides additional assistance against hazardous effects of a one-engine inoperative (OEI) event when appropriately equipped. The addition of Smart Rudder Bias to the Garmin Autonomi
™ family of automated flight technologies provides pilots assistance in maintaining control of the aircraft while determining the next course of action, simultaneously reducing workload in a high-stress and time-critical flight environment. Additionally, the GFC 600 autopilot recently received Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) approval on the Piper PA-31, further growing the list of GFC 600 compatible aircraft.

Modern avionics create opportunities to add new safety features to older aircraft, and Garmin has taken advantage of these technologies to help pilots during the critical time when an engine fails on a twin-engine, piston-powered airplane.
Garmin’s new Smart Rudder Bias (SRB) not only adjusts rudder force to help control sideslip after engine failure, but it works with Garmin’s Electronic Stability and Protection (ESP) to help the pilot control bank and avoid flying too slow. This sets SRB apart from typical rudder bias systems, which are found in many multiengine turboprop and jet airplanes but aren’t connected to envelope-protec
