Why It Matters
What is an STC?
A Supplemental Type Certificate, or STC, is the FAA's approval of a modification to an aircraft's original design. It confirms that an installation, like adding Starlink connectivity, has been engineered, tested, and documented to meet federal airworthiness standards for a specific airframe.
Working with a certification holder means your installation is backed by approved technical data, not adapted from another aircraft. That protects your airworthiness, your aircraft's value, and your resale documentation.

Questions
FAA certification, answered
Is SatCon actually FAA-approved?
Yes. SatCon holds FAA approval for Starlink Aviation installation on the Hawker 800XP and completed the world's first Starlink-connected Hawker 800XP in March 2025. All installations are performed against approved technical data and closed out with full documentation and logbook sign-off. Additional STC programs are in development for other midsize airframes.
Which aircraft are eligible for a SatCon Starlink installation?
SatCon's installation is FAA-approved for the Hawker 800XP today. Supplemental type certificate programs are in progress for the Dassault Falcon 900, Bombardier Challenger 850 and CRJ200, Embraer Phenom 100, Learjet 45, and Learjet 60. If your airframe is not listed, SatCon will review your aircraft and timeline directly.
How long does a Starlink installation take?
Downtime depends on the airframe and configuration. A SatCon installation follows four stages: consultation and aircraft review, engineering against approved technical data with a custom kit, physical installation and systems integration, then ground and inflight validation followed by documentation and logbook sign-off. Your specialist confirms the schedule for your specific aircraft.
What is included in a SatCon Starlink installation?
Every installation includes FAA-approved installation and integration, ground and inflight validation testing, a custom wiring and mounting kit tailored to your airframe, full documentation with logbook sign-off, and optional interior refinishing.
