Regulatory Approvals and STC

With experience in obtaining Regulatory Approvals and Supplementary Type Certificates (STC) for structural and interior modifications and onboard (LRU/IFE & Avionics) installations, we manage the process on your behalf. To simplify the process even more, Orbital Aviation can nominally obtain the STC and transfer it to the Airline.

Our services include upgrading the flight deck avionics, electrical, and communication systems. Also included in our Interior Modification services are ST and TC services & turn-key solutions encompassing interior design, engineering installation, and post-delivery support.
