LBAS Completes Challenger 604 FANS-1/A Inmarsat Install
Previously FANS were only operable with Iridium-Satcom on this aircraft type.

Lufthansa Bombardier Aviation Services (LBAS), the Bombardier Business Aircraft service center in Berlin, has completed the first future air navigation system (FANS)-1/A via Inmarsat satcom installation on a Challenger 604. Previously FANS was operable only with Iridium satcom on this aircraft type. The facility developed and completed the FAA- and EASA-approved solution in conjunction with ASM, a Texas-based advanced avionics systems integrator, which provided a supplemental type certificate (STC) on behalf of Rockwell Collins.
