LINCOLN, NEB. — Duncan Aviation has long made it easy for customers to discover the power of the Gogo Business Aviation AVANCE Wi-Fi system, either the AVANCE L3 or AVANCE L5, whether upgrading from one of Gogo’s classic air-to-ground (ATG) systems or installing an AVANCE system for the first time. With dozens of STCs for dozens of makes/models, the technicians at any of Duncan Aviation’s 30+ Satellites can hook operators up with inflight connectivity, entertainment features, 3D moving maps, remote support, and a future-ready design.

Duncan Aviation is offering a slot program that designates capacity at one of its Satellite locations for upgrades/installations of a Gogo AVANCE Wi-Fi system. The program lets operators select a favorable time slot at the Satellite facility of their choice and ensures they can complete the installation before their older equipment no longer supports connectivity. 

Taking advantage of the Duncan Aviation Satellite slot program for upgrades or installations is also easy: Feel free to call the Duncan Aviation Satellite nearest you (https://duncanaviation.aero/locations/#satellites) or call Regional Avionics Sales Manager John Spellmeyer at +1 316.214.8867 to hold a slot for your aircraft.

Because legacy ATG (8000, 5000, 4000, 2000, and 1000) equipment is unable to connect to Gogo’s Long Term Evolution (LTE) network, the older technology won’t be supported beyond early 2026 when the network transitions completely to LTE and 5G. Without access to a network, aircraft with legacy ATG equipment will no longer have in-flight connectivity.

If you’d like to stay in touch with your office while you’re in the air or keep up with important family emails, the AVANCE L3 offers excellent connectivity for those who need to keep moving but don’t want to miss out on what’s happening at home or in the office.  

Upgrading to the AVANCE L3 from an ATG system requires a simple box swap—removing the ATG line replacement unit (LRU) and replacing it with the AVANCE L3 LRU—so downtime for the upgrade is five business days in most cases. Duncan Aviation’s Engineering & Certification Services has developed Supplemental Type Certificates (STCs) covering the equipment upgrade from Gogo’s legacy ATG systems to the newer AVANCE L3 system for the Falcon 2000 and Hawker 800XP aircraft.

For a more robust system that lets you stream video or tune in to video conferences during your flight, the AVANCE L5 features full streaming capabilities in addition to inflight email, text, and phone capabilities.

Duncan Aviation’s Engineering & Certification Services has developed STCs covering the Wi-Fi certification and full equipment and antenna installation of the Gogo AVANCE L5 in the following makes/models:

• Citation 680 and 750
• CL 300, 350, 601-3A, 601-3R, 604, 605, and 650
• GLEXs, XRS, 5000, and 6000
• Gulfstream G-IV, G300, G400, GIV-X, G350, and G450
• Falcon 900, 900C, and 900EX (EASy, LX, DX)
• Falcon 2000 and 2000EX (EASy, DX, LX, LXS, S)

In addition to FAA approval, all of Duncan Aviation’s STCs for the AVANCE L3 and L5 have received Transport Canada (TCCA) approval.
