Chicago Jet Group has added approved model list supplemental type certificates (STC) to its list of FANS/CPDLC approvals, covering the Gulfstream GIV/IVSP and G300/G400 and the Boeing 767-200. The approval covers Future Air Navigation System (FANS 1/A+) and Controller Pilot Data Link Communications using Iridium satcom. Installation of this FANS/CPDLC STC also “provides the foundation to meet ADS-B and upcoming [European] Link 2000+ program mandates,” according to the company.

Chicago Jet received its first FANS STC two years ago for the Falcon 50, and since then the company has successfully done a FANS retrofit for the Falcon 900/900EX and Gulfstream G100 and Astra. The GIV is the fourth and the 767 the fifth type to receive FANS STC approval by Chicago Jet. Aircraft in process for FANS STCs, include the GII/III, GV/G500/G550, Falcon 2000/2000EX, Challenger 600/601 and Hawker 4000. The company’s Kobev International affiliate also offers FANS/CPDLC training and end-to-end operational performance testing.
