Satcom Direct has received multi-model supplemental type certificate approval from the FAA for its Plane Simple Ku-band tail-mounted antenna system, which enables the system to be installed on Gulfstream G550, G450, GV, and GIV large-cabin twinjets. The Melbourne, Florida-based company first fitted the system aboard its G550 with the assistance of Gulfstream’s Appleton, Wisconsin service center. The two-line-replaceable-unit system requires minimal installation between the antenna and SD modem unit.
