XLLink Systems for 747-200

Extending Your Operational Iformation Network Into the Cockpit

The Wingspeed XLLink Flight Information Architecture (XFIA) is an airborne network platform that stays connected to an airline’s ground network through a range of sub-networks such as VHF, the Iridium Satellite Network, WiFi, and Cellular.  XFIA manages these sub-networks automatically to establish the most cost effective means of data transmission. XFIA is designed to host a broad range of applications that range from global data link and voice applications through sophisticated paperless applications that synchronize ground based and airborne data structures.  The Wingspeed XLLink Flight Information System enables any aircraft to be a node on an information network, whether on the ground or in the air.

The STC approved configuration includes Triple Class 2B Electronic Flight Bags (EFB), Wingspeed Network Server Unit, Wingspeed Aircraft Communications Unit, Ritec RTP80 Rugged Printer, Avionica miniQAR, and a cockpit Iridium Telephone Handset. An STC amendment added options for integrated Cockpit Audio and a Avionica secureLINK Terminal Wireless LAN Unit (TWLU).

L2’s STC for the Iridium Installations

For owners and operators of Boeing 747-200 series aircraft, L2 offers an STC for installation of the Wingspeed XLLink XFIA system (see ST10679SC on FAA website. Our STC's are further complemented by a well organized PMA approved integration kit to allow for a more organized and more efficient installation of this system.

L2 generated the 747-200 STC so that each major system has its own wiring diagram and a separate subkit. For instance, the secureLINK wiring diagram is a standalone drawing and kit.  To make the overall modification easier on the installer, the cable routing is combined into one drawing for all systems under the STC.

The secureLINK antenna P/N S65-5366-71S is installed at STA 650 (left or right side); the secureLINK is installed between 640 and 660. Subkit 2325-B25-407-01 includes the doubler, hardware, rivets, AvDEC gasket, and placard to install the antenna. Of course, the STC includes the DTA and SSR reports for the installation.

Easy Scheduling and Installation

At L2, our goal is to let you realize the benefits of the Wingspeed XLLink System as soon as possible without interrupting your normal operations. All L2 solutions are scheduled in concert with our customer’s operating requirements, reducing aircraft downtime and associated lost revenue.
