FLYHT Aerospace Solutions Ltd. announced that Transport Canada has issued FLYHT a supplemental type certificate (STC) for the flange version of the AFIRS Edge, the company\u2019s 5G wireless data communication device, for Airbus A320 aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The achievement of this STC enables FLYHT to ship the Edge units to Canadian A320 customers while at the same time familiarizing the Canadian STC into other jurisdictions to enable worldwide distribution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cToday marks a milestone achievement for FLYHT as we announce Transport Canada\u2019s issuance of an STC for the Edge,\u201d said Kent Jacobs, president and interim CEO of FLYHT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis represents the culmination of our collective vision, hard work, and perseverance over a number of years. I am proud of our entire team and grateful to our airline partner and Transport Canada for their tireless effort to complete a comprehensive and robust certification process.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jacobs added: \u201cThis achievement not only establishes FLYHT as having the aviation industry\u2019s first wireless data and communications device with 5G capability, but it also puts us in a leadership position to provide this advanced technology to airlines operating Airbus A320 aircraft. The value proposition of the Edge is clear. With legacy 2G\/3G connectivity sunsetting soon, airlines with the Edge will be able to ensure network availability long into the future and also be able to leverage the powerful onboard analytics capability of the Edge computing to enable predictive and proactive operations in real-time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The AFIRS Edge is an aircraft interface device (AID), connecting aircraft data with electronic flight bag (EFB) applications and providing airlines with Wireless Quick Access (WQAR) capabilities, all while serving as a gateway on the aircraft for critical real-time information and onboard data storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Edge also serves as a data port for FLYHT\u2019s actionable intelligence services, such as fuel management, aircraft health monitoring, real-time engine data reporting and airport gate performance monitoring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further, when coupled with a real-time IP satellite connection, the Edge enables weather data customers to work with airlines to implement FLYHT\u2019s weather solutions for enabling enhanced weather forecasting capabilities, providing more accurate and timely warnings of extreme weather, and in the detection and avoidance of contrail generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
