Even just two years ago, having WiFi while flying was "out of touch" expensive. Not anymore. Elon has cracked the code. I can tell you the setup you need and works perfectly with fast speeds, you can watch video, text, steam music, get updated weather from the aps, and even make phone calls. Go to best buy, get a starlink mini. Sign up for "local priority", this is important, it allows for speeds up to 350mph. Then you need to power it, I bought a standalone battery, some of the newer planes will have a USB port that provides enough power, you'll need 24w on startup and then 23-20w while in use. Put it some where with a clear view of the sky, front dash. Turn it on, download the ap, ENJOY.  |

Hopefully the folks working on the installation will complete appropriate testing before it goes "live" in passenger aircraft in the future... https://www.airwaysmag.com/new-post/starlink-interferes-e175-flight-deck-comms Mike |
