Genesys Aerosystems, a Moog Inc. company, announced it has received an FAA STC for installation of its S-TEC 3100 digital autopilot on the Britten-Norman Islander aircraft. Genesys will also follow the FAA STC with an application for UK CAA approval.
Working in collaboration with Britten-Norman, the S-TEC 3100 autopilot will be offered on both forward-fit factory OEM aircraft as well as existing retrofit aircraft fleets. The STC includes the following Islander aircraft models: BN-2A-2, BN-2A-6, BN-2A-8, BN-2A-20, BN-2A-26, BN-2B-20, BN-2B-26, and BN-2T.
The 3-axis S-TEC 3100 autopilot replaces the previously certified Genesys S-TEC 55X 2-axis autopilot, on Islander aircraft. This update provides next generation digital performance upgrades and operational capability improvements.
Jamie Luster, Director Sales and Marketing Genesys Aerosystems: “We look forward to continue our collaboration with Britten-Norman to provide improved operational capabilities and user experience of Islander aircraft operators”.
