Gogo Galileo HDX gets FAA STC for Pilatus PC-12 install, enabling global LEO low-latency connectivity via electronically steered

Pro Star Aviation has received FAA approval for an STC enabling installation of Gogo’s Galileo HDX low-Earth-orbit satcom on the Pilatus PC-12. The system uses Gogo’s SD Government-developed Galileo HDX electronically steered antenna to deliver high-speed, low-latency connectivity globally with minimally invasive installation.

Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • The FAA STC lowers regulatory and integration friction for retrofitting LEO inflight connectivity on a common business-aircraft platform, supporting faster commercial rollout of satellite broadband offerings.
  • This adds to the broader shift toward LEO-enabled “multi-orbit” connectivity as competitors accelerate certification and installable hardware approaches, as highlighted in LEO in-flight connectivity triggers multi-orbit competition.
  • The PC-12 approval complements other recent Galileo HDX retrofit milestones, including Airshare’s planned retrofit of its Phenom 300 fleet, reinforcing business-aviation momentum for LEO-enabled service delivery.
