Press Release

Issued by Duncan Aviation.

June 23, 2016

Duncan Aviation understands not only the importance of certification to the business aviation industry, but also the often complicated process of certifying work on an aircraft. In an effort to make the cumbersome-seeming process a little clearer and less frustrating for operators, experts from Duncan Aviation's engineering, certification and installations teams have written a Certification Straight Talk book.

This new book takes a clear and concise look at the process of certifying and documenting repairs and modifications to aircraft. The book also includes a section on importing and exporting aircraft, an explanation of the process of obtaining a supplemental type ccertificate (STC), and a summary of the current state of global harmonization.

To download a free copy of the new Certification Straight Talk book, go to the Duncan Aviation website www.duncanaviation.aero, click the Resources drop-down menu and select Publications, or copy and paste this direct link: www.duncanaviation.aero/resources/straight-talk/certification.

With regard to STCs, Duncan Aviation has access to or holds 35 STCs for Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B), which allows it to perform upgrades on 100 aircraft models. The company also holds or has access to Future Air Navigation System (FANS) solutions for 17 aircraft models. On a situational basis, Duncan Aviation plans to seek foreign validations for any NextGen STC solutions it holds. Visit the Duncan Aviation NextGen landing page (www.duncanaviation.aero/nextgen) to see the mandate deadlines and a searchable database that lists STCs available by aircraft make/model.
