    Beech Aircraft STCs

    Attachment 1296

    Rather than try to manually maintain an out of date copy, we are now linking to the FAA database of STCs.

    All of our member aircraft are covered by one of 3 type certificates:

    • Duchess - BE76 - A29CE
    • Skipper - BE77 - A30CE
    • Everything Else - A1CE


    Unfortunately the FAA doesn't use a technology that allows direct linking. I can get a link to the correct list - but every time the list changes then this breaks the way the FAA works. So to get to the STC list, we'll start with A1CE.

    Go to http://rgl.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Guidance_Library/rgSTC.nsf/MainFrame?OpenFrameSet. Then open the tree on the left that says "By TC Number".

    Then click next about 3 times - you might get to that directly with http://rgl.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Gu...=399&Count=200. Look for A1CE (it will come at the end of all the A1 entries, so after A18xxx, A19xxx), and click on the little triangle next to A1CE and you will have the list of STCs.

    For the A29CE and A30CE they will normally fall on the same page unless the FAA adds a bunch more aircraft TCs in this range (unlikely) - so just scroll farther down and open those links.
