Cutter Aviation has received a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) supplemental type certificate (STC) for installation of the Gogo Galileo HDX antenna on the Pilatus PC-24.
The approval allows operators of the Swiss-built business jet to access Gogo's Low Earth Orbit (LEO) connectivity platform, which uses the Eutelsat OneWeb satellite network to provide global high-speed inflight internet.
Developed in collaboration with Gogo, the STC enables installation of the compact Galileo HDX system while preserving the aircraft's performance and operational flexibility. The approval is available immediately in the United States, with additional international validations expected to follow.
“This project is about giving PC-24 customers access to truly global, high-speed connectivity without compromising the aircraft's performance or versatility,” says Will Cutter, president of Cutter Aviation. “We focused on creating a seamless, well-engineered solution that integrates cleanly into the airframe and provides a reliable, future-ready connectivity platform. Our team understands how critical connectivity has become for operators, and we're proud to help bring that capability to the PC-24 market.”
The HDX antenna is designed for a broad range of business aviation aircraft, from turboprops and light jets to large-cabin business jets. Gogo complements the connectivity offering with training, cybersecurity services and round-the-clock customer support.
