Moog’s Genesys GRC 4000 4-Axis Autopilot Receives FAA TSOA

Unlocking Enhanced Capabilities Across Rotorcraft Platforms

Mineral Wells, TX – Moog Inc. (NYSE: MOG.A and MOG.B), a worldwide designer, manufacturer, and systems integrator of high-performance precision motion and fluid controls and control systems announced its Genesys GRC 4000 4-axis rotorcraft autopilot has received FAA Technical Standard Order Authorization (TSOA).

Moog is actively integrating the new capability into UH-60A/L Black Hawk variants, EC-145, and Enstrom 480B aircraft. In addition, Moog is planning to integrate GRC 4000 into other additional platforms.

The new GRC 4000 introduces Hover Hold and Collective Control functions on top of the 3-axis capabilities of Yaw, Pitch, and Roll control. The new product delivers greater automation, reduces pilot workload, and enhances mission effectiveness across diverse operational scenarios.

“This certification marks a significant step forward for rotorcraft operators,” said Nick Bogner, Director of Business Development, Moog Avionics. “The GRC 4000 takes on high-complexity control tasks to reduce pilot workload enabling pilots to focus on mission-critical objectives — improving safety and ensuring success.”

Why this matters:

A. Automation: The addition of the 4th axis is a critical building block in Moog’s automation expansion for the GRC autopilot system enabling automatic full-authority liftoff, hover, cruise, and landing modes.
B. Enhanced Safety: The autopilot’s automated flight capabilities along with stability augmentation and envelope protection greatly reduces pilot workload and increases safety.
C. VFR & and IFR capability: Seamless autopilot and stability control from startup to shut down, optimizes performance in all flight conditions.
