Butler National issued STC for Learjet autopilot modernization

By Janice Wood · June 21, 2011 ·

Butler National Corp. has obtained a Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) from the FAA for autopilot modernizations to the J.E.T. FC-110 Autopilot used in most Learjet Model 20 Series airplanes.

“Globally, there are more than 400 Lear 20 Series jets that would benefit from the modernization of the autopilot boards in the FC-110 Autopilot. The STC allows Butler National to produce replacement autopilot boards that function exactly as the original boards, but enhance autopilot reliability. These boards should allow more consistent functionality of the FC-110 autopilot,” said Craig Stewart, President of the Aerospace Group at Butler National Corp.

Butler National Corp’s Aerospace segment focuses on the manufacturing of support systems for “classic” commercial and military aircraft, as well as performance enhancement structural modifications for Learjet, Cessna, Dassault and Beechcraft business aircraft.
