SmartSky has been issued an FAA Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) for SmartSky LITE on the King Air 350i. The certificate covers installation of their inflight Wi-Fi system for King Air models B200, B200C, B200GT, 250, 250C, 250EP, 260, 260C, 300, 350, 350C, 350CER, 350i, 350iER, 360, 360C, and 360CER representing over 2,000 in-service aircraft.
“Receiving this STC marks significant progress in the SmartSky STC lineup and in delivering our high-performance solution to a series of aircraft that has long been underserved by inflight connectivity. The pilots and passengers of this aircraft are absolutely delighted with the ability to connect to whatever is most important, without limitations,” said SmartSky CEO David Helfgott about this first King Air.
The SmartSky LITE system has received multiple industry accolades including a 2024 Aviation Week Laureate award and last month was named Robb Report’s first-ever Best of the Best in aviation for cabin connectivity.
SmartSky has completed first-article installations on four additional models that are awaiting STC issuance with six more in progress as it continues to expand its roster of certified airframes. SmartSky has STCs covering more than 6,000 in-service aircraft and the in-progress projects represent about 10,000 more.
