Starlink now available for the Cessna Caravan

Textron Aviation today announced an additional high-speed internet connectivity solution for the Cessna Citation Caravan following the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) issuance of AeroMech's Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) for Starlink high-speed internet connectivity. AeroMech's STC uses Starlink's constellation of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites to provide more reliable connectivity over land, water, and remote areas, where traditional in-flight Wi-Fi may not be available.

"The Cessna Caravan is so versatile, it can go almost anywhere, and Textron Aviation understands the importance of providing a connectivity solution in more of the places our customers want to go," said Brian Rohloff, senior vice president, Customer Support. "The Caravan recently celebrated its 40th anniversary and offering Starlink high-speed connectivity upgrade continues to provide customers with the latest technology, no matter where the aircraft is in its lifecycle."

Customers can schedule the upgrade for installation at North American Textron Aviation Service Centers and select International Service Centers. AeroMech's STC uses a Starlink Aviation Kit, consisting of an Aero Terminal (Antenna), Power Supply Unit (PSU), two Wireless Access Points (WAPs), harnessing, and only requires power input from the aircraft.
