New Berlin, Wis., USA – EMTEQ has received FAA Supplemental Type Certificates (STC) for installations of an ICG Iridium SATCOM and Rockwell Collins ACARS on a Boeing 767-200/-300/-300F.Â
These two STCs install equipment that represents the baseline architecture for future FANS upgrades via OEM Service Bulletin(s). This system is a comprehensive SATCOM and ACARS communications system that provides the flight crew with voice channels and a dedicated Datalink channel to support ACARS, FANs messaging, and CPDLC.Â
