BendixKing seems determined to expand the application list for its AeroCruze 100 autopilot, and at AirVenture 2021 it announced that it is working on an STC (Supplemental Type Certificate) for retrofitting the system in Mooney models. The company has teamed with Duncan Aviation for the STC process, and said it will soon complete the ground and flight testing required to submit the STC documentation to the FAA within the next few weeks.
The all-digital AeroCruze 100 started life as a TruTrak autopilot before parent company Honeywell acquired TruTrak in 2019. The BendixKing division added the system to its line and has been marketing it for Cessna and Piper models. As for Mooney applications, the company said in its release at AirVenture that a wide variety of M20 series models is the target, and that includes early models. On the list is the M20B/C/D/E/F/G, plus the M20J/K/L/M/R/S and also the M20TN/U/V models.

With AirVenture returning to the show circuit after 24 months in hibernation, it seemed impossibly tacky not to write an advance blog about it. I’m so excited, I’m packing an extra box of Depends and transitioning soon to decaf, just to keep things on an even strain.
Actually, I am
not excited about the airline trip north, via Chicago and Appleton. Nothing I’ve read or seen makes me think the airline biz is sorted out yet and I think it’s going to be awhile before it is. I’m practicing Zen breathing and forced catalepsy while in the seated position; upright, no recline. It’s only three and half hours. I can stand on my head for that long.
