Will Trigger STCs For Over Thirty Aircraft Types

Gogo announced it has received Parts Manufacturer Approval from the FAA for its Gogo Galileo HDX Antenna. The approval was secured through working closely with Delta Engineering who, as an FAA Organization Designation Authorization program member, administered the approval.

The PMA allows Gogo to proceed with full-scale production and sales of the HDX and enabling its global network to begin installations of the electronically-steered antenna. It also permits finalization of Supplemental Type Certificates for more than 30 aircraft types.

The HDX is purpose-built for business aviation aircraft and designed for ease of installation, the antenna fits neatly onto the fuselage and a simple cable connects it to the Gogo AVANCE system to bring high-speed broadband throughout the cabin.

Chris Moore, CEO of Gogo said, “The PMA approval represents a significant change for the connectivity landscape as the introduction of the Gogo Galileo LEO HDX antenna opens up a whole new world of connectivity for existing and new customers. We know operators and private owners of the smaller cabins want access to the same high-speed connectivity options as the large jets, and with HDX installed, we are filling that gap in the market. 

“For larger aircraft, the HDX can complement existing connectivity solutions or boost redundancy to support the ever-increasing appetite for data to power multiple applications. For operators of mixed-size fleets, there is now a connectivity solution whatever their connectivity needs, large, medium, or small,” Moore adds.
