Fixed-Wing Autopilots
S-TEC 55X
Full-Function, Two-Axis Analog Autopilot with Roll & Pitch, and optional Yaw on some makes and models
High-performance, two-axis autopilot for reducing pilot workload in IMC through all modes of flight.
Key Benefits
- High Performance: Fully IFR-capable, with nav and glide slope intercepts that make it ideal for approaches.
- GPS Roll Steering: When coupled to a GPS navigator, the 55X does not follow CDI movement but the commands directly from the navigator to anticipate turns.
- Control Wheel Steering: Hand-fly aircraft and then let the autopilot take over to hold the existing turn rate and vertical speed.
- Hundreds of STC’s: From light singles through piston twins.
- Optional Altitude Preselect*, Electric Trim, Yaw Damper
- Compatibility: The S-TEC 55X is a 2-Axis (3-Axis available on some models) Flight Control System, with optional Automatic Pitch Trim. Whether you have advanced glass EFIS displays or the traditional 6-pack steam gauges, the S-TEC 55X supports a wide variety of cockpit setups
