The wings use a tubular spar, NASA airfoil with two modifications: a strake on the leading edge of the wing near the fuselage to prevent airflow separation at the wing root and reduce the camber in the walkway of the wing. The Model 77 Skipper is a two-seat, fixed tricycle gear general aviation airplane, originally designed for flight training, and later used as well for touring. EAA is also advising an independent group working to certify the Trio Pro Pilot autopilot system in type-certificated aircraft. The Beech Skipper is a low-wing, T-tail, fixed-gear, two-seat training aircraft. “We have already begun developing the list for the next round of expansion.”ĮAA is currently working on autopilot approvals and is actively pursuing approvals for TruTrak’s and Dynon’s autopilot systems. “We would like to thank our FAA oversight at the Chicago Aircraft Certification Office for working with us on our request to add more types to the approved model list,” said Sean Elliott, EAA vice president of advocacy and safety. The STC’s instructions for continued airworthiness have also been updated to clarify that the Dynon unit may be used either as primary instrumentation or as a backup. A magnetometer, outside air temperature probe, and angle of attack probe are optional peripherals that expand the system’s functionality. The display is connected to the aircraft’s pitot-static system and it will back up all primary flight instrumentation. The STCs sell for $100 to EAA members and allow for the installation of the Dynon unit as either a primary or backup attitude indicator in eligible aircraft. The AML now includes the following type series: Beechcraft Bonanza/DebonairĮAA STC, LLC., EAA’s subsidiary for STC development, will immediately begin taking orders for all listed types.
