Expands Aftermarket Options With AeroMech STC And Starlink Kit

Textron Aviation announced a new high-speed internet connectivity upgrade option for the Cessna Citation Latitude after the FAA issued an approval for AeroMech’s Starlink Supplemental Type Certificate, which uses the Starlink constellation of Low Earth Orbit or LEO satellites for more reliable connectivity over land, water, and remote areas where typical Wi-Fi may not have service.

Brian Rohloff, Senior Vice President of Customer Support said, “With Starlink connectivity now available as an upgrade, Citation Latitude customers can enjoy a seamless, high-speed in-flight experience that keeps them connected in more of the places they fly.

“This enhancement reflects our commitment to innovation and elevates the Latitude’s reputation as the world’s most-delivered midsize business jet, renowned for its exceptional performance and cabin comfort.”

Customers can schedule the upgrade installation at North American Textron Aviation Service Centers and International Service Centers. AeroMech’s STC uses the Starlink Aviation Kit, which consists of an Aero Terminal Antenna, power supply unit, wireless access points, and harnessing. It requires only a power input from the aircraft.

In addition to this new option for the Citation Latitude, Starlink is also available for the following models: Citation Sovereign and Sovereign+, Citation X and X+, 560 Excel, XLS, XLS+, XLS Gen 2 models, as well as the Beechcraft King Air 200 and 300 Series aircraft and the Cessna Caravan.
