Done Right. Done Once.

Citation owners have been resourceful. Starlink Minis balanced on dashboards, suction cups on side windows, cables run under carpet; the community has found ways to get connected. And the performance, when it works, is remarkable.

But a portable setup is a workaround, not a solution. Speed restrictions that trigger in a headwind. Heated windshields that block the signal entirely. Antenna orientation that shifts when you turn. Power draw that taxes your USB outlets. A dish that doesn't belong on the panel of a certified aircraft.

Tamarack AirConnect is what comes next. A purpose-engineered, permanently installed in-flight connectivity system designed specifically for the Cessna 525, 525A, and 525B — and backed by Tamarack's proven record of FAA-certified aircraft modifications. Tamarack AirConnect is currently undergoing FAA certification flight testing on a customer-owned Citation CJ1, flying since March 2026. A Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) application is on file with the FAA and is progressing through the certification process.

Everything the Workaround Wasn't

Portable Starlink setups proved the performance. Tamarack AirConnect delivers it properly.

Nobody Complains
About a Three-Hour Leg
When the Internet
Works.

For owner-operators, the real measure of in-flight connectivity isn't bandwidth, it's whether the people on board can work, stream, and stay in touch the way they can on the ground. Tamarack AirConnect delivers that experience consistently, every flight, without requiring your passengers to manage a device sitting on the glareshield.

Installed in Three Days. Supported Like Any Other Aircraft System.

TamarackAirConnect is engineered for a streamlined installation at a Tamarack-authorized service facility, targeting a typical shop time of three days. Once installed, it's a certified part of your aircraft with documentation, continued airworthiness support, and the backing of Tamarack's FAA Repair Station. No suction cups. No cables to manage. No workarounds.

Tamarack's
Certification Track
Record Behind It.

Tamarack has certified and installed Active Winglet upgrades on more than 200 Citation aircraft worldwide. The company produces modifications under FAA production approvals and operates an FAA Repair Station in Sandpoint, Idaho. Tamarack AirConnect is built on the same engineering discipline and regulatory infrastructure.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an STC, and why does it matter?

A Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) is the FAA's formal authorization for a specific modification to be made to a certificated aircraft. It is the legal and regulatory foundation for any avionics or structural change on a certified aircraft and it's what distinguishes a permanent, supported aircraft system from a portable workaround. Tamarack's STC application for Tamarack AirConnect is currently under FAA review. Customer installations will begin once the STC is granted.

Does Tamarack AirConnect have a speed restriction like the portable Starlink plans?

No. The speed restrictions on consumer and business-priority Starlink plans, which can cut service when ground speed exceeds 550 mph, apply to portable setups, not to properly certified aviation installations. Tamarack AirConnect is designed for use with an aviation-grade service plan, which carries no ground speed restriction. Whether you're at 400 knots in cruise or riding an 80-knot tailwind, Tamarack AirConnect operates without interruption.

My aircraft has electrically heated windshields. Will Tamarack AirConnect work?

Yes — and this is one of Tamarack AirConnect's key advantages over portable solutions. Electrically heated windshields and anti-fog window elements are known to block Starlink Mini signal, making dash-mount setups unreliable or completely ineffective on some aircraft. Tamarack AirConnect's antenna is mounted securely with a clear and unobstructed view of the sky regardless of windshield type or cockpit window configuration.

Which aircraft models does Tamarack AirConnect cover?

The initial Tamarack AirConnect STC program covers all models of the Cessna 525, 525A, and 525B type certificates — including the Citation 525, CJ1, CJ1+, M2, M2 Gen2, CJ2, CJ2+, CJ3, CJ3+, and CJ3 Gen2. If you're flying a different Citation variant, contact us and we'll keep you informed as additional type certificates are pursued.

Should I wait for connectivity technology to improve before installing?

The satellite infrastructure that makes Tamarack AirConnect work — thousands of Low Earth Orbit satellites in active service — represents years and billions of dollars of investment. That foundation is not going to be replaced anytime soon. Antenna hardware will continue to evolve, and Tamarack's STC-based approach is designed to accommodate future hardware updates within the certified installation framework. The operators who install Tamarack AirConnect first will have years of reliable, high-speed connectivity while those who wait will continue managing portable workarounds.

Do I have to choose aservice provider now?

You can indicate a preference on your reservation form, but no commitment is required. You will contract with your chosen provider, Starlink or Amazon Leo, separately from your Tamarack AirConnect installation, on your own timeline.

When will pricing be announced?

Pricing will be announced at a later date. Reservation holders will be the first to receive pricing information.

How long does installation take?

Tamarack AirConnect is designed to be installed in approximately three days at a Tamarack-authorized service facility. Exact timing will depend on aircraft type and facility scheduling.

Does Tamarack AirConnect work internationally?

Yes. LEO satellite coverage extends well beyond the US, including across the Gulf of Mexico, Central America, Canada, the North Atlantic, and Europe. Unlike ground-based connectivity systems that end at the US border, Tamarack AirConnect keeps you connected on international legs. Coverage in specific regions is subject to satellite network coverage and applicable regulatory approvals in each country.
