Some of these modifications can converted to drop hatches for search-and-rescue operations. Avcon also offers replacement of cabin windows with optical glass for handheld camera operations. Configurability Many Avcon camera port modifications have configurable options, including lens coatings, oversized ports (for large sensors or gyros), alternate locations (for some aircraft and port sizes), and drift sights. Compatibility Avcon camera ports are compatible with most popular equipment, including film and digital cameras, EO/IR sensors, LIDARs, magnetometers, and more Some Avcon provisions are also compatible with gyro mounts such as the Leica PAV30, T-AS Mount, and GSM 4000. Contact us for specific compatibility information. Protection Avcon camera port modifications protect your equipment with customer-configurable optical glass (e.g. BK-7, S-BSL7). The sensor is further protected during takeoff, landing, and storage by a sliding door that covers the camera port. Defog systems prevent sensor obstruction. Pressurization Avcon camera modifications allow the aircraft to maintain pressurization. Most Avcon aircraft modifications can be reverted to standard interior configurations with structural plugs / accessory kits (available for order). Optical glass can be removed for unpressurized operations. For technical details on open-air operation of Avcon camera modifications, please contact us. 29 www.avconindustries.com 28 +1 (316) 284-2842 Camera Ports Avcon provides Single or Dual Camera Mounting Provisions (Tandem Cameras) for the King Air 200, 300, and B300 series, per STC No. SA2429CE. A third baggage-compartment camera port is available under STC No. SA2428CE. Together, the two STCs add provisions for a total of three ports, converting the King Air into a versatile mapping and survey platform. Dual Camera Ports SA2429CE is used to install single or dual sensors from manufacturers including Leica, Optech, Trimble, Ultracam, and others. The modification uses an S-BSL-7 Optical Glass Window to maintain aircraft pressurization at altitude without inhibiting sensor operation - but the optical glass can be removed for unpressurized, open-air operations. Baggage Compartment Port STC No. SA2428CE provides a single camera port near the baggage compartment, compatible with most vertical mapping cameras. FAA Approved Yes EASA Approved Yes Applicable Aircraft 200 Series, 300 Series, B300 Series Drop Hatch Option The drop hatch can easily be converted into a camera port and vice-versa. This FAA approved Drop Hatch allows the Special Mission operators to drop rescue equipment out of the aircraft while in flight. The hatch is located on the right-hand side of the cabin across from the entry door and consists of an 18” hole with a metallic plug/hatch that opens into the cabin. For operator safety, the STC includes an approved restraint attachment point on the sidewalls, as well as annunciator lights that indicate the open/close & secure latch position of the plug.

This STC provides a total generator capacity of 800 Amps compared to the two factory-standard starter-generators. The installation also features a user-customizable power distribution system with 400 Amps of power from two dedicated electrical buses, making it ideal for special mission operations. The 400 Amp power modification for the PT6A-67A and PT6A-60 equipped King Air significantly increases the capabilities in light of the continuing demand for power for electronic ISR systems. When combined with the Avcon Special Mission Alternator, a King Air can have up to 920 amp of total power! AVCON INDUSTRIES, INC. POWER SYSTEMS KING AIR VARIANTS 53 www.avconindustries.com 52 +1 (316) 284-2842 Aerodynamic Fins Avcon Fins eliminate the FAA dispatch requirement for operable yaw dampers. The aerodynamic strakes interact with the vertical stabilizer to create positive stability in all three axes and reduce drag by smoothing airflow around the tail cone area. The increased dispatch reliability and the enhanced stability (both in the landing phase and at high altitude) give the aircraft a solid and predictable handling profile. At cruise airspeeds, Avcon Fins are aligned to provide aerodynamic stability when the aircraft attempts to stray from the intended line of flight (e.g. during turbulence). This “self-correcting” feature controls yaw and helps keep the aircraft on the step for optimal range performance. During landing and other low-speed maneuvers, Avcon Fins eliminate divergent dutch roll tendencies by providing additional lift and directional stability. Range & Weight Extension Avcon R/X Mod The Avcon R/X Mod includes Aerodynamic Fins (right) as well as tip-tank extensions and a weight increase package. Range Increase By extending the tip tanks, Avcon R/X mod adds room for approximately 750lbs of additional usable fuel in the aircraft. This provides up to 40 minutes of additional flight time at normal cruise speeds and altitudes. Weight Increase Package With the aerodynamic enhancements provided by Avcon Fins, maximum weight can be increased (with landing gear install pursuant to AAK 80-3 or equivalent). 19,600 lbs (8890 Kg) 16,000 lbs (7257 Kg) 14,500 lbs (6577 Kg) + 1,200 lbs (544.3 Kg) • Takeoff Weight:* • Landing Weight:* • Zero Wing & Tip Fuel Weight:* • ∆ Useful Load:* • Fuel Capacity: • Flight Time:** • IFR Range Estimates with Full Fuel:*** • Lear 35: • Lear 36: + 750 lbs (340.2kg) +40 minutes > 2,100 Nautical Miles > 2,800 Nautical Miles * Max Weight Estimates for Learjet 36/36A with Avcon R/X Weight Increase package.

STC No. SA2192CE installs the King Air Cargo / Airstair Door Combination, manufactured by Beechcraft (the same door offered on new King Air’s at the factory). STC No. SA2192CE is FAA and EASA approved for the King Air 200 series and 300 series. The 52x52 inch Cargo door is top-hinged and held open with gas springs, providing extensive maneuverability that assists heavy operations such as loading freight from forklifts or moving stretchers and equipment into or out of the cabin. The airstair door is fitted inside the cargo door, and can be opened while the cargo door is closed - allowing easy adaptation between freighter and passenger configurations, without compromising the passenger experience.
