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&nbsp;two-line replaceable units—the tail-mounted antenna&nbsp;and modem unit—reducing aircraft downtime&nbsp;and optimizing maintenance budgets, according to Satcom Direct.&nbsp;The Plane Simple Ku-band antenna variant is now available for installation through the Dassault factory MRO and Dassault Aircraft Services network.&nbsp;
“We are proud that Dassault recognizes the advantages delivered by the Plane Simple system and how it can enhance connectivity on the Falcon airframes,” said Satcom Direct&nbsp;founder and CEO Jim Jensen. “The STC makes the full Satcom Direct ecosystem of hardware, software, ground infrastructure, cybersecurity, and award-winning customer support immediately available to this set of Falcon owners.”
“Falcon aircraft are known for being technologically advanced, and the SD Plane Simple antenna system is the perfect complement to our aircraft,” added&nbsp;senior v-p&nbsp;of Dassault&nbsp;worldwide service network Geoff Chick.
