PC-24 Adopts AeroSync Max for Flight Data Connectivity

Pilatus has selected Astronautics’ AeroSync Max as the line-fit connectivity system for the Swiss OEM’s PC-24 twinjet, marking the first application of the system in an airplane. AeroSync Max captures, stores, and transfers aircraft flight data to help make flight operations more efficient and reduce downtime.

Consisting of an airborne communications server, connectivity module, and ground server software, AeroSync Max transfers flight data securely and directly to Pilatus’ CrystalCare servers. AeroSync Max is certified to EASA ED-203A cybersecurity standards.

After every flight, AeroSync Max automatically downloads flight data via cellular or Wi-Fi networks, enabling Pilatus’ predictive services to help mitigate maintenance issues and prevent excessive downtime.

“Astronautics is proud to partner with Pilatus to provide PC-24 operators with a certified and secure connectivity system that is improving aircraft operations and availability,” said Matt Frei, Astronautics’ director of connected aircraft solutions.  “Because data is transferred directly to Pilatus’ ground server without intermediaries, operators can trust that their information remains private—supporting the trusted relationships Pilatus has built with its owner-operators.”
