Overview
- Starlink notified Roam and Priority users of a new 100 mph in‑motion cap, effectively ending standard-plan use in most general aviation aircraft.
- The company introduced Aviation 300MPH at $250 per month and Aviation 450MPH at $1,000 per month, each with 20 GB included and metered overages.
- Aviation 300MPH covers land and territorial waters, while Aviation 450MPH adds ocean coverage, and both require identity verification and a support‑ticket switch.
- Pilots report cancellations and a return to alternatives like SiriusXM, with many requesting a mid‑tier option after previously paying roughly $50–$65 for far larger data allotments.
- A Change.org petition topped just over 4,000 signatures as of March 4, and AOPA said the change has priced out many pilots as Starlink declined to comment.
