Jan. 22, 2015

Banyan Air Service has embarked on a FANs 1/A+ STC solution for an undisclosed Boeing 727 VIP operator.  This upgrade includes the installation of dual Universal UNS-1Lw Flight Management Systems, Universal UL-801 Unilink, CVR-120A cockpit voice recorder, and an ICG-220A Nxtlink Iridium system. 

"This upgrade will prepare the aircraft to meet the requirements of FANs/CPDLC to allow access to the FANs airspace for increased fuel savings and reduced cockpit workload," says Paul Rose Banyan's VP of Technical Services. 

The initial certification aircraft has been completed and Banyan expects STC approval early 2015.
