ORLANDO (October 16, 2006) - Gulfstream Aerospace has selected Rockwell Collins to provide the pedestal assembly system for its G350, G450, G500, and G550 aircraft. Deliveries are expected to begin in February 2007.

The pedestal assembly offers pilots advanced control-by-wire modular devices, as well as the pedestal structure. Included in the package is the full-function FADEC-interfacing throttle control with autothrottle servo backdrive, thrust reverse operation, and engine control switches.

Other modules include the flap system control lever module, speedbrake control lever module, pitch trim control wheels and gustlock assembly.
