Duncan Aviation has overhauled more than 3,200 landing gear ship sets in the last 35 years; the very first was from a Learjet 24 aircraft.

In 1980, Duncan Aviation performed its first landing gear overhaul. Using parts purchased from Learjet and tools they made themselves, the Duncan Aviation Learjet airframe team performed everything from gear tear downs to rebuilds, including the required work on stab actuators, bushings and paint. This was completed on four small benches in a shop at the back of the main airframe hangar.

Thirty-five years later, Duncan Aviation has a 6,000 square-foot dedicated landing gear shop with an overhead crane, fixed stands and large paint booth with curing room. Nine technicians work three shifts covering every day of the week. And the team does more than just Learjet gear now. They have overhaul, inspection and repair capabilities on Beechcraft, Cessna, Embraer, Bombardier Learjet, Bombardier Challenger and Bombardier Global landing gear.

The landing gear team is supported by other Duncan Aviation Accessories teams that specialize in seven areas, including batteries, electronics, electro mechanical, hydraulic fluids/fuel, landing gear, non-destructive testing and pneumatics.
