Yingling in Final Steps for Hawker Gogo Avance STC

Yingling Aviation is near receiving supplemental type certificate (STC) approval for installation of Gogo’s Avance air-to-ground connectivity system in Hawker twinjets. The STC is in the final stages of approval after Yingling submitted data to the FAA. Hawker models covered under the STC application include the 750, 800, 800XP, 850XP, and 900XP.

The STC will include Gogo’s Avance L3, L5, and LX5 5G system. The LX5 provides speeds of up to 80 Mbps on Gogo’s 5G ATG network in the contiguous U.S. and parts of Canada. “This enables streaming-grade performance, supporting video, VPN, cloud applications, and multiple devices simultaneously,” according to Yingling Aviation.

“Connectivity is no longer a luxury in the cabin, it’s an expectation,” said Josh Peterson, regional sales manager and avionics expert at Yingling Aviation. “What’s exciting about this STC is the flexibility it brings. Whether an operator needs a cost-effective solution or the highest level of performance, we’re able to meet them where they are and provide a clear upgrade path as technology continues to evolve.”
