Will Pursue STC For Voice And Data System For Challenger
600
Landmark Aviation and International Communications Group (ICG)
announced at the AEA National Convention in Reno, NV that they have
entered into an agreement to obtain a Supplemental Type Certificate
(STC) for a version of ICG’s advanced voice and data
satellite based communications "Sora" product line, to be
installed on Bombardier Challenger 600 series aircraft.
The multi-use STC will allow installation of a bundle designated
Sora ig. This complete communications solution integrates Inmarsat
Swift Broadband, Internet connectivity, Iridium Voice, Data Link,
Wi-Fi access, and cabin handsets on the aircraft. “This STC
will allow for a greater diversity of the installed base for our
Sora products and we look forward to working with Landmark Aviation
during this process,” ICG CEO Scott Trainum stated.
A 600 series Challenger is scheduled for Sora ig installation at
the Landmark Winston-Salem (INT) MRO facility in April 2011. The
MRO expects to complete the necessary flight testing and
certification program by mid-May. The STC project is aimed at a
multi-use approval for the Bombardier Challenger aircraft and is
intended to have applicability across the entire CL-600 Challenger
line.

“To be competitive in this industry, we need to offer our
customers connectivity solutions for their aircraft ranging from
voice to Internet,” Landmark Avionics Manager Dwayne Chandler
commented. “In completing this STC, we are expanding our
expertise and offering a wider range of options to our
customers.”
