BLR Aerospace has received a FAA supplemental type certificate (STC) for replacement winglets on King Air 350 and 360 model series airplanes.

BLR is a worldwide distributor of winglet systems for King Air 90, 200 and 300 aircraft. This new STC introduces BLR’s proven winglet technology as a replacement option for the OEM winglet installed on King Air 350 and 360 aircraft.

The replacement BLR winglets are interchangeable with the current OEM winglet design. A replacement winglet purchase includes a primered winglet, lens and attachment hardware. The winglet is compatible with the OEM light brackets and other STC lighting systems. Each order includes FAA-approved instructions for continued airworthiness and installation instructions while maintaining the baseline OEM aircraft flight manual.

The replacement winglet is currently FAA-approved, and BLR plans to seek STC validation with other regulatory authorities.

BLR will offer replacement King Air 350 and 360 winglets through its dealer network or directly to customers. Stock is maintained in its Everett, Washington facility to ensure quick and seamless shipments globally.
