Safety Management Systems: why they are essential, and how they are not all the same.
The main system components of the factory-installed FDR covered by STC10001SC-D are obsolete. They are no longer available for purchase or repair, and there is no longer a method of support for any of these critical FDR components.
Proper maintenance of starter and generator terminal blocks is critical for aircraft safety and reliability. A seemingly small issue, such as a loose wire or incorrect torque, can cause catastrophic failure through arcing, rapidly leading to melting, component disintegration, and potential damage to the surrounding aircraft structure.
The term situational awareness is frequently used in aviation, but what does it actually mean for a pilot in the flight deck? And how can modern avionics, like the Garmin G600 TXi, take that awareness to the next level? Watch this video and learn.
Aircraft buyers and sellers often face a significant question: What exactly constitutes damage history, and how does it affect an aircraft's value? This question is more complex than it seems, as damage is a subjective concept with no universal standard. To shed light on this issue, we spoke with three sales representatives from Duncan Aviation's Aircraft Sales & Acquisitions: Ann Pollard, Tim Barber, and Doug Roth.
Two of Duncan Aviation’s Avionics Satellite shops have recently installed a serviceable Gogo ATG-5000 airborne broadband system with Wi-Fi, one in a Gulfstream IV and the other in a Gulfstream G-200.
With this authorization, we are able to support operators throughout the entire modification process of the TDR-94/D units from component modification to system installation and certification.

Be vigilant in using your pitot/static covers. Bugs roost and build nests FAST. Cover up!
This Service Guide was created specifically for the Embraer Legacy airframe and contains valuable NextGen information that will be useful as you look ahead to the coming months and years.
The Duncan Aviation /Garrett APU system interfaces with the aircraft’s electrical system and includes controls for operating, monitoring, and regulating the APU. As seldom as these systems fail, when they do, it can be confusing to determine which box is causing the problem.
Duncan Aviation customers are now able to view their logbook entries in real-time, categorized by airframe or engine through their myDuncan account.
The technology of radar is a great tool to avoid severe weather, but it is important to remember its limitations.
