\"gogo\"<\/a>Vancouver, BC, October 2017<\/strong> \u2013 Maxcraft Avionics Ltd announced that it has successfully flown a Daher TBM aircraft and demonstrated full Internet connectivity using the Gogo Biz Network and ATG products, which offer full Internet and voice experience.<\/p>\n

The initial test aircraft was a TBM930 and was equipped with a Gogo ATG 1000, however the design allows installation across Daher\u2019s TBM fleet installing any of Gogo\u2019s ATG systems\u2014ATG 1000, 2000 or 5000. The STC is structured to allow maximum flexibility of antenna locations. Maxcraft has received the system design and antenna certification and final Wi-Fi STC testing is pending. On final STC release, it will be submitted for immediate FAA review and approval.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cMaxcraft is thrilled to bring Gogo\u2019s connectivity products to TBM owners, enabling them to stay connected to the things that matter,\u201d said Steve Nunn, director of business development at Maxcraft Avionics. \u201cWe\u2019ve seen initial interest and expect that to continue as people realize that the technology and price point are accessible to TBMs.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Gogo\u2019s ATG 1000<\/a> and ATG 2000<\/a><\/strong> are ideal for the TBM series as they are designed to effectively and affordably provide Internet and voice services aboard aircraft with fewer users and\/or lighter passenger loads, such as light jets and turboprops.<\/p>\n

\u00a0ATG 1000<\/strong><\/p>\n

Via the Gogo Biz network, the ATG 1000 enables high-performance e-mail with attachments, voice and text for only $39 per hour. Pilots, passengers and business owners can stay connected to their lives while in flight using their own smartphones and mobile numbers via the included Gogo Text & Talk capability.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Select cockpit and operational applications can be used with the ATG 1000 system through Gogo\u2019s partnerships with the industry\u2019s leading app providers: FlightAware, ForeFlight, FltPlan.com, Garmin, Honeywell, JetFuelX and The Weather Company. Pilots connected to the Gogo system are able to receive continuously updated flight information and decision-support tools to help streamline their aeronautical decision-making.<\/p>\n

\u00a0ATG 2000<\/strong><\/p>\n

The ATG 2000 delivers full Internet connectivity to enable in-flight Web browsing and email, as well as most apps, for a $99 per-hour rate. Gogo\u2019s Text & Talk is available as an additional option.<\/p>\n
