Butler National Corp., Olathe, Kan., a participant in aircraft structural modification, maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) and a provider of management services in diverse business groups and the parent of Avcon Industries Inc., now has a Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) for a stage 3 noise suppression modification device for Learjet 20 series airplanes.
The FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 contains provisions that ban operation of a number of aircraft models due to noise on Dec. 31, 2015. The Learjet 20 series airplanes are included aircraft. The engine-mounted Avcon Stage 3 Noise Suppressor incorporated with other unique features will allow Learjet 20 series airplanes to comply with the government-mandated Stage 3 noise restrictions that go into effect in December 2015.
"We appreciate the effort of all the people who worked to help us achieve a cost-effective alternative for Learjet 20 Series airplane owners," comments Clark Stewart, president and CEO of Butler National Corp.
