Additionally, there are installations scheduled at several of the company’s 26+ Satellite Avionics Shops, and several have been completed at the Satellite Shops in Houston, Texas, and Las Vegas, Nevada.

The Engineering and Certification Department at Duncan Aviation has applied for approval from the Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA) and has received validation on the CL-600-2B16 series, covering Challenger CL-601-3A, CL-601-3R, CL-604, CL-605 and CL-650 aircraft.

“We expect to receive TCCA STC validation for the remainder of the makes and models in the coming months,” says Engineering/Alterations Planner Mark Pawlowski. “We are evaluating validation of our Gogo AVANCE L5 STCs with the Mexico Directorate General of Civil Aeronautics.”
