SEATTLE, Wash. - Raisbeck Engineering has received full FAA certification for its Lear 60 Aft Fuselage Locker. It is now available for purchase and installation at all Raisbeck Authorized Dealer locations that work with Lear 60 owners and operators.

Final certification flights were completed in March 2014 and all data was submitted to the FAA, who granted single-airplane STC in May 2014, followed by the final STC in July. The first Lear 60 to receive the Aft Fuselage Locker has been in full operation on trips across the U.S. and Europe.

Development of the Aft Fuselage Locker began in June 2008, with the confirmation of technical cooperation between Raisbeck and Bombardier Learjet in Wichita, Kansas. The program involved the addition of a fire-proof shell and a fire detection system. Although it added time to the project, addressing all fire detection and fire containment regulations was an important step in ensuring the locker met the latest FAA requirements and the highest level of safety for customers.

The Aft Fuselage Locker is streamlined to the aft fuselage to introduce drag-reduction while at the same time enclosing a net baggage volume of over 28 cubic feet involved complex computational fluid dynamics (CFD) engineered by Raisbeck's design specialists.
