Connectivity Delivers Secure Data Transfer, Predictive Maintenance

Astronautics Corporation of America announced that its AeroSync Max has been introduced as the line-fit connectivity system for the Pilatus PC-24 Super Versatile Jet. The system improves operations and reduces downtime by enabling operators to securely and automatically capture, store, and transfer flight data.

AeroSync Max consists of and airborne communications server, connectivity module, and ground server software that provides seamless and secure data transfer between the aircraft and operator systems.

PC-24 operators benefit from AeroSync Max by:

Security & Compliance: Certified to EASA ED-203A standards for cybersecurity, with direct data transfer to Pilatus’ CrystalCare servers—no third-party intermediaries.

Operational Efficiency: Automatic flight and maintenance data downloads after every flight, faster Wi-Fi-enabled downloads in the hangar, and predictive services to prevent disruptions to flight readiness.

Reliability: A robust cellular and Wi-Fi network for consistent data transmission, reducing Aircraft on Ground (AOG) events and minimizing downtime.

The predictive services offered by Pilatus have already prevented multiple events and significantly reduced delays caused by maintenance issues.

Matt Frei, Director of Connected Aircraft Solutions for Astronautics said, “Astronautics is proud to partner with Pilatus to provide PC-24 operators with a certified and secure connectivity system that is improving aircraft operations and availability. Because data is transferred directly to Pilatus’ ground server without intermediaries, operators can trust that their information remains private—supporting the trusted relationships Pilatus has built with its owner-operators.”

AeroSync Max has gained EASA ED-203A certification, demonstrating cybersecurity protection throughout the aircraft life cycle, marking its first fixed-wing certification. The system was previously certified on helicopters by both the FAA and EASA.
