FAA Approval: Avcon Industries and Butler Avionics received FAA Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) approval for non-halon portable fire extinguishers in various Learjet models.
Halon Replacement: The new Halotron BrX-filled extinguishers are designed to replace halon units, which are banned due to their ozone-depleting properties, with compliance by December 31, 2025, required by EU regulations.
Installation Features: The extinguishers are engineered for easy installation in existing locations, with additional mounting options for some older Learjet models.
Future Plans: Avcon is pursuing EASA validation for the STC approval and aims to expand the list of approved aircraft models for the new fire extinguisher installations.
