Pilatus selects Gogo Business Aviation's new inflight connectivity technology:

14 May 2019:Pilatus has chosen Gogo Business Aviation's most recent inflight connectivity technology, Gogo AVANCE L3, as a factory option on new production PC-12 NG aircraft.

The PC-12 NG has become the first single-engine turboprop to have the L3 system installed at the factory and because the L3 also consist of Gogo Vision, it marks the first time passengers on a PC-12 NG will have access to Gogo Vision's extensive list of features, including movies and television programmes.

"Pilatus' selection of Gogo AVANCE L3 is a great step forward with a valued partner who recognizes the value of our software-centric AVANCE platform and the reliability and performance of the Gogo Biz network," said Mark Sander, Vice President of OEM sales for Gogo. "The Gogo AVANCE L3 offers unparalleled flexibility and scalability compared to other inflight connectivity solutions in business aviation and now, for the first time, passengers on a PC-12 NG can access entertainment services provided by Gogo Vision."

AVANCE L3 is an advanced inflight connectivity and entertainment system that provides the benefits of the Gogo AVANCE platform in a small, lightweight form factor, with an affordable pricing option in business aviation.

"Our customers enjoy having the ability to be connected when they fly and we're pleased to offer Gogo's AVANCE L3 as an option from the factory," said Tom Aniello, Vice President of Marketing for Pilatus. "The additional value-added features and benefits that are included as part of the AVANCE L3 made it an easy decision to offer it to our customers from the factory."

With the help of AVANCE L3 passengers can send email, text messages and make voice calls with Gogo Text & Talk (service plan required), or use their favourite flight apps such as moving maps, weather and flight information. Passengers can also read the latest news clips and articles from digital magazines and business news outlets, or watch movies and TV shows using Gogo Vision (service plan required) which is standard on AVANCE L3.
