The Sky Connect system transmits encrypted real-time GPS-based aircraft position reports via satellite at automated intervals to authorized control centers using secure data protocols, including:

• Aircraft registration

• Time/date

• GPS-based position, altitude, ground speed, ground track

The Sky Connect Map web-based software displays the aircraft location, GPS flight plan, crew status and weather overlays on topographical maps.

Voice and two-way text transmissions are available through the MMU-II controller mounted in the cockpit. The MMU-II is the smallest cockpit dialer available, with highly customized options for pre-stored messages, forms and phone numbers. The system provides a headset level interface tied into the aircraft audio panel with:

• 500 pre-stored phone numbers with names

• 200 pre-stored text messages and mini forms

• Two-line, 32 character display

• Full DTMF telephone keypad

• Keypad text entry

Messages sent to the aircraft by the dispatcher are displayed immediately and all messages received during the flight can be recalled.
