Five Airframes And Two Engines Added To Duncan's Lineup
Duncan Aviation has added several authorizations to the Civil
Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) Repair Station Certificate
in Lincoln. New authorizations were granted to the current Repair
Station Certificate after a CAAC audit of the Duncan Aviation
facility in Lincoln.
Newly authorized airframes include the Falcon 900DX, 2000, and
7X models. These Falcon models make Duncan Aviation- Lincoln the
only Dassault authorized service center in the United States to
have this distinction. There are only three Falcon service centers
in the world that have a Chinese certificate. In addition to the
Falcon models, were the addition of the Cessna 680 and the
Beechcraft Super King Air B300. New engine authorizations include
the Honeywell GTCP36-100 Series & GTCP36-150 Series.
Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) authorizations including Magnetic
Particle, Eddy Current, Dye/Fluorescent Penetrant and Ultrasound as
well as Thermal Spray, Dynamic Balancing of Propellers and Aircraft
Paint were also added.
Duncan Aviation has served international customers as an
authorized China repair station since 2002. In addition to the CAAC
Repair Station Certificate, Duncan Aviation has an extensive
capabilities list currently consisting of 105 avionics components,
landing gear, hydraulic and pneumatic components
authorizations.
"The additional authorizations granted with this last inspection
mean we will be able to further service customers from China. We
are pleased to be able to expand our airframe and engine
capabilities, provide paint solutions to customers and respond
quickly for special service needs, such as NDT services and thermal
spray," said Mike Mertens, Manager of Regulatory Compliance.
"Foreign authorizations are important to us. In addition to our
CAAC certificate, we maintain repair station authorizations from
several other foreign civil authorities around the world."
