In general aviation singles, light twins, and turboprops, S-TEC's rate based autopilot systems have a number of significant advantages over attitude based systems. You can expect safety, reliability, and performance whenever your autopilot is engage. S-TEC also believes in a building block philosophy which allows installation of an autopilot today as a foundation, and upgrading to a system with more features and functions at a later date. All S-TEC autopilot systems use common hardware, servos, and sensors throughout the product line which offers you significant advantages in serviceability, reliability, and overall cost. A multitude of autopilots are available from a simple altitude hold only to a full two axis autopilot with glide slope capture, vertical speed control, and dual mode intercept.
Manufacturer does not allow mail-order sales of Autopilots/Flight guidance systems to owners of Certified Aircraft. S-Tec Autopilots must be installed by an authorized S-Tec dealer, unless installed in a home-built aircraft. Avionics installations require special knowledge, skills, test equipment and tools. Call our Avionics Sales Staff for an installed price.

This Single-Axis autopilot system utilizes S-Tec's proven technology and is a true, rate-based system, deriving roll axis control inputs from its electric turn coordinator. Rate based autopilots have inherent reliability and performance benefits over attitude-based autopilots.
- Single axis roll stabilization
- Turn command
- Heading Hold/Heading pre-select when interfaced to DG with heading bug or HSI (optional)
- NAV/LOC/GPS tracking; high and low sensitivity
- Smoother flight control than attitude gyro based systems; rate-based design varies bank angles with airspeed
This system requires ZERO additional panel space. Programmer, computer, annunciators and servo amplifier are entirely contained within turn coordinator case. Proven building block design allows Altitude Hold to be added later to become a System 30.
