Pro Star Aviation Receives STC for First-Ever Gogo Galileo LEO Connectivity Solution on Pilatus PC-12

LONDONDERRY, N.H. – Pro Star Aviation has received FAA Supplemental Type Certificate (STC)
approval for installation of the Gogo Galileo connectivity solution on the Pilatus PC-12. The approval marks the first-
ever Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite connectivity option for the operators of the widely used single-engine
turboprop. As an authorized Pilatus Sales and Service Center, this certification reflects Pro Star’s continued
investment in delivering cutting edge connectivity solutions for Pilatus operators.


Galileo is a Low Earth Orbit satellite internet system specifically designed for aviation. Its compact antenna is well
suited for the PC-12, with installation completed above the aircraft’s cargo door. The system can operate as a
standalone solution through the Galileo Smart Cabin router or complement existing Gogo AVANCE air-to-ground
connectivity systems. This solution gives operators a new, flexible upgrade path from legacy connectivity platforms.


“We are proud to offer continued support to Pilatus PC-12 operators with this first-of-its-kind LEO internet connectivity solution.
Our new STC approved design is now available for both brand new aircraft and in-service fleet,” said Jeff Shaw, Director of Sales
and Marketing for Pro Star Aviation.


The Gogo Galileo system delivers takeoff-to-touchdown connectivity with near-global coverage. It performs over
water, across remote regions, and in polar operating environments where traditional connectivity systems have
limited reach. For PC-12 operators flying diverse missions, Galileo provides reliable connectivity with few limitations
beyond select geopolitical restrictions.


With FAA approval on this first-ever LEO solution complete, Pro Star Aviation is positioned to support broader
adoption of the Galileo solution across the global PC-12 fleet. The company plans to pursue international
validations for Europe, Canada, Australia, Mexico, and Brazil, expanding availability for operators worldwide
seeking high-performance connectivity tailored to the Pilatus PC-12.
