Starlink satcom for Citation 560XL
Textron Aviation service centers can install Starlink satcom systems in 560XL series Citations, including the new Ascend.

Textron Aviation has received a supplemental type certificate (STC) for installation of Gogo 5G air-to-ground connectivity in midsize Citations and is also offering aftermarket installation of Starlink low-earth-orbit satcom systems in the Citation Excel/XLS series.

Gogo’s Avance LX5 5G STC is available for the Citation Longitude, X+, X, Sovereign+, Sovereign, Latitude, XLS Gen2, XLS+, XLS, and Excel. Aircraft already equipped with an Avance system can be upgraded to the LX5 version, which provides high-speed connectivity at up to 80 Mbps in the contiguous U.S. and parts of Canada. Development of an STC for LX5 installations in the CJ4, CJ3+, and CJ3 is underway.
