EASA has issued a supplemental type certificate (STC) for the installation of the Gogo Galileo HDX OneWeb satcom antenna on the Embraer Phenom 300. This certification follows development and testing conducted by Atlas Air Service in collaboration with design organization FTI Engineering Network.

The STC represents the first approval of its kind for installing the OneWeb satellite-based connectivity solution on the Phenom 300 platform. With download speeds of up to 60 Mbps, the Gogo Galileo HDX antenna enables high-speed, low-latency in-flight internet connectivity via the Eutelsat OneWeb low-earth-orbit network.

Installations of the system are now available at Atlas Air Service’s facilities in Bremen and Augsburg, Germany, as well as at its location in Altenrhein, Switzerland. Depending on aircraft configuration, installation typically requires approximately 10 working days.

In addition to providing installation services, Atlas and FTI will offer the STC and Gogo Galileo hardware to other maintenance organizations as part of their distribution agreement with Gogo.

The companies have also begun work on an STC for the Cessna Citation CJ series, with an initial installation underway on a CJ1. EASA certification for the Citation platform is expected in the second quarter of 2025. Validation with other aviation authorities, including the FAA, ANAC, and TCAA, is being pursued.
