Chicago Jet Group (CJG), an installation and training facility for Next Generation Satellite Systems (NGSS) including CPDLC for FANS 1/A+ and ATN, has received Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approval of AML STC ST03262-CH for complete FANS 1/A+ system installations that incorporate the Latitude DL150 Satellite Data Unit (SDU).

The Supplementary Type Certificate (STC) is based on the Universal Avionics Systems Corporation SBAS Flight Management system and uses the Latitude DL150 SDU as the CPDLC/ADS-C data link. The STC is approved for CPDLC operations using FANS 1/A+ and meets the PCBS requirements for RCP240 and RSP180. The Chicago Jet Group FAA AML STC is EASA approved with Canadian and ANAC approvals expected in the next two months. Specific models under this STC are Falcon 50/50EX/2000/2000EX, Gulfstream G-100/G-II/G-III//G-V and Bombardier Challenger 600/601/604.

President of CJG Mike Mitera said, “The operation of Latitude’s DL150 is unmatched from what we have seen in our experience. This is why we are really pleased to offer this package under our STC. The Latitude Satellite Data Unit (SDU) terminals are high performance and it enhances our position by using Latitude’s TSO certified equipment.”
