Flightstar Announces FAA Approval on Option Two for their Learjet 40/45 ADS-B STC

by | May 4, 2016 | Press Release

 Champaign, IL (KCMI) – May 4th, 2016 – Flightstar Corporation announced today the completion of a second option for their ADS-B OUT Supplemental Type Certificate (STC), ST04064CH. This option for the Learjet 40 and 45 covers GPS pairing with UNS-1Ew installations. With the completion of this amended STC, Flightstar now offers two different options for “GPS position pairing”.

Compliance is accomplished by updating existing select Honeywell components along with one of the following options:

Option one utilizes a Honeywell KGS-200 stand-alone GPS unit. This ADSB STC allows for compliance without the upgrade of an existing Flight Management System (FMS).

Option two covers Universal Avionics UNS-1Ew aircraft, with either a single or dual UNS-1Ew FMS system. Flightstar’s WAAS STC (ST04061CH) with a UNS-1Ew and LPV monitor can be used to upgrade aircraft with a single FMS.

“These variations give different price points to achieve compliance, allowing more operators to financially remain in their current aircraft,” stated Flightstar Avionics Manager, Greg Vail. “We are proud to be able to offer solutions which cover all scenarios in the Learjet 40 and 45 aircraft.”
