The FAA has approved a Supplemental Type Certificate for the Gogo Galileo HDX on the Pilatus PC-12, including special-mission variants. The certification, developed with Pilatus and Pro Star Aviation, opens certified low-latency LEO connectivity across multiple PC-12 configurations and gives operators a retrofit path plus a future line-fit option.
The system uses a compact electronically steered antenna and is pitched for mission cabins that need HD video, imagery, secure chat and real-time medical data. The first modified aircraft is expected back in service imminently, with EASA and Transport Canada approvals next on the list.
