McFarlane Aviation Releases Improved Flap Motor for Cessna and Beechcraft Aircraft

By General Aviation News Staff · June 20, 2026 · Leave a Comment

McFarlane Aviation 24-28V FAA-PMA approved flap motor replacement

McFarlane Aviation has introduced an FAA-PMA approved 24-28V flap motor for more than 80 Cessna and Beechcraft aircraft.

A direct replacement for the OEM part, it has been engineered with “design improvements that make it more reliable, more durable, and better suited for demanding operating conditions than the original,” according to company officials.

The most notable improvement is a reduced tendency to trip the aircraft’s flap motor circuit breaker, a persistent annoyance for many aircraft owners, officials noted.

The redesigned motor also resists demagnetization of its permanent magnets at low subzero temperatures, they added.

Aircraft eligibility includes Cessna 152, 172, 177RG, 182, 206, 207, 208, 210, 303, 336, and 337, as well as Beechcraft C23, C24R, F33A, F33C, V35B, A36, A36TC, B36TC, G36, 95-B55, 95-B55A, E55, E55A, 58, 58A, 58P, 58TC, and G58.
