Peregrine has developed a supplemental type certificate (STC) to improve exterior lighting performance and reliability for the Beechcraft 390 Premier I/IA. Working on behalf of Wichita Aerospace, Peregrine created this STC that replaces the entire pair of wingtip light clusters including Navigation, Recognition and Strobes with modern LED technology. Additionally, the STC covers the replacement of the original lens and housing in the tail cone with a single, dual function LED.
This simple, robust installation can be accomplished in under a day by an A&P. Reusing the existing clear lenses, the STC replaces the entire wingtip light assembly. The existing power supplies, strobes and incandescent bulbs are removed, yielding a load reduction of over 28 amps and weight reduction of over eight pounds.
“The Whelen Aerospace Technologies (WAT) designed replacement lights that require no external components and use newer technology LEDs,” states Christophe Maskell, Managing Director, Wichita Aerospace. “Installation of the WAT replacement lights will result in a significant reduction in equipment weight, electrical bus loading and maintenance costs for the airplane owner/operator.”
