FAA Approval

Avcon Industries, a subsidiary of Butler National Corporation, received FAA approval for non-halon fire extinguisher replacements in Learjets (models 24-75). This STC (No. ST12087CH) allows for Halotron BrX-filled extinguisher installation, complying with EASA regulations as the deadline for halon replacement approaches. Avcon is seeking EASA validation and aims to expand the STC to other aircraft, providing cost-effective, compliant solutions for legacy aircraft operators facing evolving environmental regulations. The move strategically positions Avcon in the aircraft maintenance and retrofit market.
