SmartSky has received an FAA Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) for SmartSky LITE on the King Air 350i, covering the installation of the Wi-Fi system for King Air models B200, B200C, B200GT, 250, 250C, 250EP, 260, 260C, 300, 350, 350C, 350CER, 350i, 350iER, 360, 360C, and 360CER.
SmartSky says this represents over 2,000 in-service aircraft and that the first article installation was completed by Davinci Jets Services. Davinci has already also completed first-of-type installations of SmartSky systems on a Citation CJ4, Citation Latitude and Pilatus PC-12.
“Receiving this STC marks significant progress in the SmartSky STC lineup and in delivering our high-performance solution to a series of aircraft that has long been underserved by inflight connectivity. The pilots and passengers of this aircraft are absolutely delighted with the ability to connect to whatever is most important, without limitations,” said SmartSky CEO David Helfgott.
