Descriptions of the STC design changes and affected aircraft models are available at https://drs.faa.gov/browse/STC/doctypeDetails.

The FAA has received a third-party request for the release of the aforementioned engineering data under the provisions of
the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552. The FAA cannot release commercial or financial information under FOIA
without the permission of the data owner. However, in accordance with title 49 of the United States Code § 44704(a)(5), the
FAA can provide STC “engineering data” it possesses for STC maintenance or improvement, upon request, if the following conditions
are met:

1. The FAA determines the STC has been inactive for 3 years or more;

2. Using due diligence, the FAA is unable to locate the owner of record or the owner of record's heir; and

3. The availability of such data will enhance aviation safety.

There has been no activity on this STC for more than 3 years.

On December 17, 2025, the FAA sent a registered letter to Century Flight Systems, Inc., to its last known address: 3003 FM
1195, Mineral Wells, TX 76067-0610. The letter informed Century Flight Systems, Inc., that the FAA had received a request
for engineering data related to STC No. SA3496SW-D and SA3497SW-D and was conducting a due diligence search to determine whether
these STCs and 763 other STCs were inactive and may be considered abandoned. The letter further requested that the company
respond in writing within 60 days and state whether it is the holder of these 765 STCs. The FAA has also attempted to make
contact with Century Flight Systems, Inc., by other means, including telephone communication and emails, but without success.

Information Requested

If you are the owner or heir or a transferee of all the 765 STCs or have any knowledge regarding who may now hold any of these
STCs, please contact Aourolia Kristianti using a method described in this notice under
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
. If you are the heir of the owner, or the owner by transfer of any of these STCs, you must provide a notarized copy of your
government-issued identification with a letter and background establishing your ownership of any of the STCs and, if applicable,
your relationship as the heir to the deceased holder of the STCs.

Conclusion

If the FAA does not receive any response by September 15, 2026, the FAA will consider all 765 STCs as abandoned, and the FAA
will proceed with the release of the requested data. This action is for the purpose of maintaining the airworthiness of an
aircraft and enhancing aviation safety.
