TruTrak Announces New Ownership And Leadership

Company Veteran Andrew Barker Takes Over As President And CEO

TruTrak Flight Systems is pleased to announce a new President and Chief Executive Officer, Andrew Barker (pictured). Andrew has been with the company since its founding and a partner with founder, Jim Younkin for seven years. Andrew and Jim have jointly designed every major TruTrak product. After more than 50 years working in aviation, Jim has decided to sell his portion of the company to the other existing owners and retire from TruTrak.

Along with this change, a new board of directors has been elected from within the company. The newly elected directors have been working as part of the management team for many years. Along with existing board members, Andrew Barker and Christina Peterson, there are two newly elected members, Carrie Barker and Lucas Massengale. These new directors will bring many years of knowledge and experience to the leadership of the company.
 
“We are very excited about this new direction and the opportunities that will be made available with this glorious new management team.” said CEO Andrew Barker. “The future of TruTrak is brighter than ever, and we have many new ideas that we are currently pursuing.”

Founded in 1999, TruTrak has designed and manufactured many cutting edge autopilots and the now standard autopilot servo for use in the experimental and light sport aircraft autopilot market.
