Everything You Need to Know About Starlink in a Cirrus Aircraft (or Light GA Airplane)

Everything You Need to Know About Starlink in a Cirrus Aircraft (or Light GA Airplane) - I've put together this ultimate guide which includes topics such as data plans, powering, mounting, caveats and other tips and tricks for a successful deployment. ✈️📡 Key Notes from this Video: Plans: - Select Local Priority (on a business plan) - $65/mo for 50gb - up to 350 mph - Select Global Priority (on a business plan) for off-shore use - up to 550 mph - Roam plan will not work (limited to 100mph) - Changes go into effect the next billing cycle Power: - Anker Solix C300DC - Approx 16 hr runtime - Anker 737 units also work, but only last 3.5 hrs - Built-in Lighter Jack will NOT work (only 36 watts of power) - Built-in USB port will NOT work (enough power, but has a hardware/firmware issue) - New version of the MCI USB port is available that does work - Lonestar 28v Lighter Jack works - Use a 100w minimum USB C cable (15 ft to go from the front to rear dish) - Get a USB C to DC Adapter that is 20v (the 12v version will NOT work) - All in one cables are hit-or-miss, avoid using them (except for the Starlink OEM one) - Don't use the AC outlet, except for during setup Mounting: - Build a "Bradket" - See COPA for instructions (or order from a generous member making them) - Use a 3D printed mount, several people are distributing plans - Buy a third-party mount (Please don't post links to your mounts for sale - that's not in the spirit of me taking time to create this video for the good of the flying community). - Don't use suction cups - they will come loose at altitude. They can also cause de-bonding/damage. Misc Notes: - Alignment doesn't matter - Don't bother with pausing service, not worth it. - Made a card with a QR code to join your Wifi - iCloud is a data killer - Enable Low Data Mode - Turn off the Snow Melt feature Disclaimer. First and foremost, Fly the Airplane! Don't be tempted to be distracted in the cockpit. Use all this info at your own risk.
