Jet Aviation St. Louis completes three FANS installations in Challenger 604s

The industry’s first three installations of Future Aircraft Navigation Systems (FANS) in Bombardier Challenger 604s by Jet Aviation St. Louis are complete, with three more already scheduled. The installations are possible after Jet Aviation St. Louis received FAA approval for a Supplemental Type Certificate (STC). Jet Aviation St. Louis teamed with Rockwell Collins to develop the STC for the Challenger 604 FANS 1/A aftermarket solution. It includes the Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Contract (ADS-C) and Controller Pilot Data Link Communication (CPDLC), which reduces pilot workload and enhances the clarity and accuracy of pilot communications with Air Navigation Service Providers in oceanic and remote airspace worldwide.
