The FAA has issued a supplemental type certificate (STC) for installation of Gogo’s Plane Simple Ka-band satcom terminal on Gulfstream Vs and G550. The system includes a tail-mount antenna, SD modem unit, and SD router. It runs on Viasat’s GX satellite network but is also compatible with Viasat’s next-generation GX satellites.

Gulfstream and Gogo collaborated on the STC, which Gulfstream developed. Authorized Gulfstream and Jet Aviation service centers can install the Ka-band satcom system, which is also approved on G650 models. An STC for the G500 and G600 is expected to be completed by year-end.
