CenTex Aerospace announced that it has earned many required approvals for its Saddle Tank Conversion STC for more models of the King Air. The FAA approved a revised PMA adding the King Air 200 and 300 series aircraft to the original PMA for the King Air 90. The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has granted approval of the CenTex Saddle Tank Conversion STC and has assigned EASA STC number 10053071. Transport Canada (TCCA) has reviewed and accepted the CenTex Saddle Tank Conversion STC for installation on Canadian-registered aircraft. And the Brazilian Civilian Aviation Authority (ANAC) is in the process of analyzing the certification data package for ANAC validation of the Saddle Tank STC. Validation is expected to be attained very soon.
The conversion was performed recently on a King Air 350 based at Kansas City, Mo. The Saddle Tanks Plus will allow the operator to conduct non-stop flights to the West Coast with NBAA reserves using Boeing wind data, eliminating a fuel stop and saving on flight time. In addition to the reduction in flight time, the increased cargo capacity in the Saddle Tanks Plus provides the added convenience to carry several standard carry-on bags, or engine and propeller covers and plugs.
