Sounds promising....we bought an airplane with an L3 avance Go-Go unit, it works alright. However, it's only $105/hour of use (no monthly fees etc)....seems hard to justify StarLink pricing unless it's a fair amount less than mentioned above.
Obviously, the initial costs to install a GoGo Avance system may be more than starlink comparatively. -

No the speed definitely isn't that much, but at $2K/month (most Phenom 100's I'm aware of under private ownership fly maybe 150 hours yearly) it's really hard to justify that amount unless they are super into a netflix series they can't put down
I would tend to agree that if there is an owner/operator plan be more in line with marine or at least GoGo power by the hour type costs, they'd see a lot more people in our category get it. Of all the 100's I've flown for private owners only 2 even had wifi capability, and only 1 finds it worth paying the $105/hour for. I sure hope in flight internet gets cheaper over time, I'd love to have it on more of them. -

02-29-2024, 11:03 AM #36I agree with the sentiment from (Username Protected). If they achieve their goal of disruption in the space by significantly lower costs, I think they have a home run. At $2,500/month, it's just another high cost internet provider with (to be fair) better performance.

03-06-2024, 09:04 AM #37Starlink does have the global coverage. I only operate 10% of the time in the continental USA so that's key. GoGo isn't even an option. (... until they launch Galileo).
