Jet Aviation recently received an EASA STC for Ka-Band system integration on a VIP Boeing 747-400 at its Basel facility. The MRO company also recently demonstrated compliance with the latest EASA bird-strike requirement on the Rockwell Collins Live TV radome.&nbsp;Jet Aviation is working on a second EASA STC for a VIP B767-300 and plans to revise this B747-400 STC for another model in the 747 series, which includes a new antenna location.

 


The company’s Basel engineering team worked on the technical solution for Ka-band system integration on a B747-400 for two years. The company received the EASA STC in late 2017 after it demonstrated EASA compliance and implemented the solution on a B747-400.

 


“Jet Aviation always welcomes innovation that brings new technologies and choice to our customers,” said Laurent Grahn, chief engineer at Jet Aviation Basel. “High-speed Internet connectivity is at the top of most customer wish lists these days, and we are very pleased to help ensure their requirements can be met. Our engineering team continues to develop new connectivity solutions and works closely with the EASA certification board to ensure we meet the highest business aviation standards.”

 


Looking forward, Jet Aviation is also working on installations for satcom Swift BroadBand and Live TV systems.
