Chicago Jet Group has expanded the choices for datalink systems for upgrades to FANS 1/A+ and ATN capabilities with a new STC for installation of the Latitude Technologies DL150 Satellite Data Unit (SDU) Iridium satcom. Its DL150 approval was done under an FAA-approved model list (AML) STC for an additional 12 business jet models, and the STC is for FANS 1/A+ upgrades, which require a controller pilot datalink communications (CPDLC) and ADS-C datalink.
The STC incorporates the Universal Avionics satellite-based augmentation system FMS. Models covered by the AML STC include the Falcon 50/50EX and 2000/2000EX; Gulfstream G100, GII, GIII, GV, and G550; and Bombardier Challenger 600/601/604. Additional models soon to be added to the AML STC include the Falcon 900/900B, Gulfstream GIV, and Boeing 767-200.
Chicago Jet offers training programs to help pilots learn how to fly FANS operations, and the company can also help operators obtain the required letters of authorization to avoid any downtime after the upgrade is installed.
