Hi all!

I would like to ask help about Autopilot S-TEC.

I am having problems with a S-TEC system 55 autopilot equipment in one Pilatus and
have a 55X equipment in the box.
Are they connector/pin compatible?

King regards

I’ve done the conversion three times from a 55 to a 55X. You will need a 55x tray since the 55x uses pin type connectors rather than a card edge connector on the 55. CWS will operate differently in the 55X from the 55. You will need to add some wiring to your GPS navigator to utilize the built in GPSS. The STC is the same number between the two, so you do not need to buy a new STC. Depending on where the 55x came from, it will need a new airplane flight profile programmed into it and possibly a voltage change. They will do this on the flat rate charge of about $1500. The total cost has been about $5k for a piston plane. Not sure how much additional the Pilatus tax will be. It takes about a day to do.

The 55 uses the same 50 pin Dsub connectors as the 55X.
