Star Navigation Announces Corporate Update

Brampton, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – October 5, 2022) – Star Navigation Systems Group Ltd. (CSE: SNA) (CSE: SNA.CN) (“Star” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update on various corporate developments and initiatives.

The Company has successfully passed its triennial Transport Canada (“TC”) renewal audit, in accordance with Canadian Aviation Regulation 561 (“CAR 561”) and has closed the first tranche of a non-brokered private placement (see below).

In accordance with the CAR 561 audit, TC has re-confirmed both Star’s status as an Approved Organization pursuant to CAR 561 and its in-house capabilities to design and build avionics equipment for civil and commercial aircraft.

Amir Bhatti, Star’s CEO said:

“At a time when many small cap Companies are struggling with their operations, the Star team has once again demonstrated their competency and processes with this successful TC audit. The importance of this audit cannot be overstated as it allows the Company to move forward on the continued manufacturing and delivery of Star ISMS® boxes necessary to satisfy both existing and anticipated future sales. Finally, this TC audit serves to further instill confidence in our customers and partners as they look to Star to provide them with enhanced safety and efficiency for their aviation needs.”

Star is in the planning stages of organizing its next Flight Safety Conferences for accident and incident prevention. One will be held in East Africa and two others in West Africa, as well as participation in various AFRAA Conventions. These conferences will be held in November and December 2022 and January of 2023.

Global Aeronautical Distress and Safety System (GADSS)

Star Navigation facilitates GADSS’s Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs) that airlines and aircraft operators utilize for aircraft / fleet tracking in normal conditions as well as in distress.

Mandatory ICAO Regulation – Star Solution Meets and Exceeds ICAO Annex 6, Part 1 GADSS compliance
Aircraft in Distress – Stream essential DFDR Data in Real Time – ‘Autonomous distress flight tracking’
Stay connected, stay informed – handle Irregular Operations (IROPS) with Star Navigation solutions
Post flight localization, recovery and analysis

SAFETY

Gaps in worldwide aircraft tracking to meet ICAO’s Global Aeronautical Distress and Safety System (GADSS) requirement
Delayed FOQA Analysis Report due to untimely manual data extraction
Inefficient real time aircraft and fleet location tracking
Reliance on Digital Flight Data Recorder (DFDR) for post-accident investigation
Lack of Safety record keeping
Continuous close monitoring of aircraft parameters from power-on to power-off to detect and transmit exceedances and alerts through satellites
Continuous transmission of flight location, heading, speed and altitude every 2 minutes through ‘Tweets’
Continuous transmission of customizable flight parameters every 4 minutes through Heartbeats’

PERFORMANCE

Inefficient ‘Engine Condition Trend Analysis’ due to untimely manual data extraction
Lack of real time Aircraft Health Monitoring of entire airline fleet during all phases
Inefficient and manual generation of End-of-Flight Operations and Maintenance reports
Lack of timely post-flight data from international airport hubs
Lack of a centralized management tool giving real time operational picture of fleet, performance, safety and insights into fuel consumption, maintenance and financial reports
Automatic post flight data transmission providing timely Engine Condition Monitoring reports to reduce and forecast unscheduled engine maintenance events through data analysis and Predictive Maintenance

PROFITABILITY

Airline is currently receiving aircraft data through ACARS, based on line of sight VHF transmission
Airline doesn’t have latest real time data for ECM, FOQA, MOQA, Fuel Consumption and OOOI
Airline receives delayed data analytics from third party
Lack of historical data allowing for data mining, forecasting and analysis
Airline receives reactive, untimely post-flight analysis reports leading to missed opportunity to fix issues
Lost Revenues due to high costs of unplanned Maintenance and Aircraft on Ground (AOG) events

ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY

Precise measurement of fuel burns – gate to gate
Prepare trends on aircraft systems to detect changes in fuel consumption
Measure contributory factors towards increasing carbon footprint
Manage your Carbon credits with precision
Reduction in Carbon emissions equals greener environment
Automated digital end of flight reports – Go paperless – Go green!
