Satcom Direct’s Plane Simple Ku-band tail-mounted antenna system has received FAA and EASA supplemental type certificate (STC) approvals for Dassault Falcon 7Xs. The latest certification complements the existing Falcon 2000LX/LXS/S, and 900EX/LX approvals obtained earlier this year.

The simplified antenna installation requires fitting two-line replaceable units—the tail-mounted antenna and modem unit—reducing aircraft downtime and optimizing maintenance budgets, according to Satcom Direct. The Plane Simple Ku-band antenna variant is now available for installation through the Dassault factory MRO and Dassault Aircraft Services network.
