L2 Consulting Services, Inc. Adds
ACARS Interface to STC for Iridium Satellite
Communication System on Boeing 757 Aircraft
AUSTIN, Texas –
Feb 19, 2008 - L2 Consulting Services, Inc. (L2)
is pleased to announce that the Federal Aviation
Administration has approved the company's Supplemental
Type Certificate (STC) revision for Aircraft
Communication Addressing and Reporting System (ACARS)
with optional cockpit and cabin handsets for
International Communication Group's (ICG) ICS-120
Iridium Communication System. The STC (ST10610SC) is
applicable to Boeing 757-200/200PF/200CB/300 series
aircraft.
Armin Jabs, President of ICG said, "We wish to
congratulate L2 on the success they have achieved with
the addition of ACARS to their B757 ICS-120 Iridium STC
approval. L2 and ICG have endeavored to develop and
provide an Iridium based flight deck Datalink service
for the Air Transport industry."
ACARS over Iridium Datalink provides character-based
data connectivity for aviation data services to include
automatic terminal information service (ATIS), weather
reports, and text messaging. When outside of VHF range,
Iridium Satellites allow world-wide connectivity
directly through the crew's cockpit multifunctional
control display unit (MCDU).
"It was important to add a seamless Datalink to the
existing Iridium STC, enabling the flight crew to
automatically stay in contact with flight operations
anywhere in the world," said Mark Lebovitz, L2's
President.
The ICS-120 is a single channel communication system
that is certified for cockpit communications using a
telephone dialer adapter or dedicated handsets in the
cockpit and cabin.
