FANS testing will tell operators and pilots whether they have access to suitable satellite communication and navigation before takeoff.

The system also provides additional verification by producing a report showing the results of the testing along with the required communication performance.

“FANS helps pilots and operators ensure that their aircraft has the right technology that complies with industry regulations before starting the engine.”
