Latitude Technologies is making its Enode Engine Data Acquisition Unit (DAU) and IOnode Digital Data Recorder (DDR) available for use on legacy Cessna Citations. Under a supplemental type certificate (STC), the Canadian avionics and satellite connectivity specialist aims to give operators greater flexibility by supporting a 2,000-hour time between overhaul (TBO) extension for the Pratt & Whitney engines on the Citation II, S/II, V, and Ultra.
The STC announced on February 24 allows the Enode DAU and the IOnode DDR to function as a component of the TBO extension for the legacy Citations. Latitude already holds an STC for the same technology to be used on the Beechjet 400A/XP.
