Full-time autothrottle system is the first available in a midsize business jet.

G150 AutoPower system
There are autothrottle engage/disengage buttons on each throttle so the G150 system operates the same as in the large-cabin Gulfstreams.
The mode annunciator shows takeoff mode is engaged.
Safe Flight engineers used protractor markings on the G150 throttle quadrant to precisely measure throttle lever angle during development.
