Innotech Aviation Receives US FAA Supplemental Type Certification for Jetwave KA-Band Connectivity Installs
MONTREAL, Aug. 30, 2019 /CNW Telbec/ - Innotech-Execaire Aviation Group ("IEAG") announced today that it has received full US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approval of its Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) for the installation of Honeywell JetWaveTM connectivity solution on US FAA registered Bombardier BD-700-1A10 Global aircraft – specifically the Bombardier Global Express, Global XRS and Global 6000 variants.
The US FAA approval provided to Innotech Aviation now supplements existing Transport Canada STC approval of both the system and radome installations on Bombardier Global aircraft and further extends to allow for radome installations on the BD-700-1A11 Global 5000 aircraft platform as well.
