Starlink Satcom Installations Expected on G650
This would be the second STC for Starlink on an aircraft

The G650/G650 appears to be next in line for supplemental type certification (STC) approval for installation of SpaceX’s Starlink satcom, according to a Gulfstream Aerospace maintenance and operations letter (ALL-MOL-23-0013) dated September 15. The letter references “Nextant/Starlink’s recent…[FAA] approval to install their connectivity solution via [STC] on G650/G650ER aircraft, with other models to follow.”

The FAA’s STC database does not yet list the Nextant STC. But given that SpaceX founder Elon Musk has Starlink installed on his G650, this STC seems like a logical step. The first Starlink STC was for the Embraer ERJ series and it was engineered by Aerospace Design & Compliance of New Castle, Delaware.
