Butler National Corporation Gets STC For Work On 20 Series Airplanes

The FAA has granted an STC to MRO company Butler National Corporation 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 December 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," commented Clark Stewart, President and CEO of Butler National Corporation.
