United Airlines has an installed Starlink rollout status with a fleet coverage of 51.9%, which mandates a minimum probability floor of 0.519 for all routes, including DEN->RIC. Although there are zero direct observations on this route, this is likely due to incomplete flight tracking data rather than absence of Starlink. Recent high-confidence news confirms Starlink installation on mainline and regional fleets, including over 300 regional aircraft and expectations to exceed 800 total by end of 2026. Community sightings confirm completion of regional fleet rollout by early 2026. Given the lack of direct observations but strong fleet coverage and multiple corroborating news and community sources, the probability is anchored at fleet coverage (0.519) and slightly adjusted upward to 0.52 to reflect positive rollout news without exceeding the empirical observation rate by more than 0.10.
