The FAA has issued a supplemental type certificate (STC) to Gulfstream Aerospace for installation of Gogo Galileo HDX satcom systems on the G650/G650ER. Instead of mounting the HDX antenna on the top of the fuselage, this STC features an under-the-radome installation on top of the airplane’s vertical stabilizer.

The tail-mounted installation “maximizes performance and complements the design of the aircraft,” according to Gogo. “It is backwards compatible with existing network equipment, fully integrated with the cabin, and approved for multiple radomes to maximize flexibility and value.”
