Duncan Aviation to Hold Final Free NextGen Seminar in Oakland, CA, on Dec. 14

Duncan Aviation gears up for its final free NextGen seminar of the year. Join host Mark Francetic, Regional Avionics Sales manager, on Dec. 14, from 8 a.m. until 2:55 p.m. at Jet Aviation, 7683 Old Earhart Road, in Oakland, CA.

From 8 a.m. until 2:55 p.m. Pacific time, Francetic and channel partners, Satcom Direct; Universal Avionics; Garmin; L3 Aviation Products; Rockwell Collins and Honeywell, will discuss what equipment is needed to comply with the Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) and Future Air Navigation Systems 1/A (FANS-1/A) mandates. Discussion includes information about the supplemental type certificates (STCs) and certified equipment currently available for business jets. 

Over the last three years, Francetic has made it his mission to provide useful information about not only the technology but also precisely what equipment owners/operators will need to outfit and/or retrofit their aircraft to comply with the worldwide NextGen mandates. 

Registration and a continental breakfast are from 8-8:30 a.m, and lunch will be provided from 11:45 a.m.-12:45 p.m. Seminar space quickly fills to capacity, so contact Mark Francetic for more information and to RSVP at Mark.Francetic@DuncanAviation.com or call 702.303.4888.

Of the 454 STCs Duncan Aviation holds, 37 are for FAA-approved ADS-B solutions, which allow the company to perform upgrades on more than 100 aircraft models. In addition, Duncan Aviation is the only Rockwell Collins-authorized facility that can perform repairs and upgrades to the TDR-94 and TDR-94D transponders required to comply with the ADS-B mandate. Duncan Aviation also holds or has access to FANS solutions for 24 aircraft models. As needed, Duncan Aviation plans to seek foreign validations for the NextGen STC solutions the company holds. Duncan Aviation’s Organization Designation Authorization (ODA) is always busy on projects for its customers and for companies that have hired its experienced engineers for outside engineering services.
