Jet Aviation St. Louis receives FAA approved STC for FANS Bombardier Challenger 604

Jet Aviation St. Louis has completed and received FAA approval for the Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) for installation of its Future Airspace Navigation System (FANS) for the Bombardier Challenger 604. Rockwell Collins teamed with Jet Aviation St. Louis to develop the Rockwell Collins STC for the Challenger 604 FANS 1/A aftermarket solution, leveraging their combined experience and expertise on the CL 604 airframe. The FANS 1/A upgrade package, which includes the Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Contract (ADC-C) and Controller Pilot Data Link Communication (CPDLC), will reduce pilot workload and significantly enhance the clarity and accuracy of pilot communications with Air Navigation Service Providers in oceanic and remote airspace worldwide. It will give those aircraft access to preferred wind-efficient transatlantic routes to save both time and fuel.
