Companies vie to build RVSM suite for Lear 20s
Just one year ago there were none.

Just one year ago there were none. Now, four companies have suddenly announced their intention to develop an RVSM STC package for the Learjet 20 series to be available next year. All four companies propose to achieve the approval using the airplane’s original JET autopilot and estimate the price to be around $150,000.

Avcon Industries, the Newton, Kan. company that developed the Learjet 30-series Avcon Delta Fin, is seeking firm orders from operators of 20 Learjet 24/25s, four of which will participate with Avcon’s own aircraft in a group RVSM certification program for the business jets. Avcon expects the RVSM avionics package and functional test flight to cost $149,225 per aircraft, if the original JET autopilot is usable.
