The FAA has issued an STC to KaiserAir for its Future Air Navigation System (Fans) 1/A solutions for the GIV, GIV-SP and GV using Gogo Business Aviation’s ST 4300 Iridium satcom for Fans messaging. Last year KaiserAir received the first Fans STC for the GIV, GIV-SP and GV, and in that STC it used Gogo’s ST 4200 and data interface unit. The ST 4200 is a lighter and smaller system that combines voice and data functionality in one box. “It takes everything Iridium can offer, including Fans and Acars, and lets customers configure cabin and flight deck connectivity based on their own needs and budget,” according to KaiserAir.
