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
