STC Program in Process for a Replacement Portable Fire Extinguisher for Learjet Aircraft
Avcon Industries Inc. and Butler Avionics, subsidiaries of Butler National Corporation, are preparing to introduce a non-halon portable aircraft fire extinguisher replacement solution for the full range of Learjets.
Designed to meet EASA regulations consistent with various global environmental standards, the new portable fire extinguishers utilize Halotron BrX, a next-generation clean agent alternative. These extinguishers are engineered as size-equivalent replacements for legacy halon extinguishers, minimizing downtime and simplifying retrofit.
Avcon Industries Inc. and Butler Avionics collaborated with a leading manufacturer of firefighting products to deliver a compliant and sustainable option to operators seeking to stay ahead of upcoming deadlines. The STC approval process is underway, and final certification is expected soon.
The initial project plans to cover the following airplanes: Learjet 24, 24A/B/B-1/C/D/D-A/E/F/F-A, 25, 25A/B/C/D/F, 28, 29, 31, 31A, 35, 36, 35A (C-21A), 36A, 40, 45, 55, 55B, 55C, 60, 60XR, 70 and 75 Aircraft.
Stay tuned for approval updates. Contact us for installation details, price, and availability, or if you are interested in having other airplane models added to the approved models list.
