Advantages of a Glass Box Installation

• Downtime
• Safety
• Value
• A Unique Industry Position

Downtime

One priority of The Glass Box Project is to get aircraft back in the air quickly. Our experience with avionics installations of this magnitude has yielded many efficiencies. Our thorough preplanning process enhances these efficiencies and allows us to offer aggressive and accurate turntimes. Replacing legacy equipment with Glass Box technology will make your daily flight operations smoother. Fewer avionics to troubleshoot and fewer ‘send-ins’ for repairs and overhauls mean less downtime and fewer unexpected expenses.

Safety

Safety tops the list of most of our customers who consider making the multi-million dollar investment in a new aircraft. At a fraction of the price of a new aircraft, The Glass Box Project delivers the best safety while allowing operators to continue operating the aircraft they know and love. And when combined with the current maintenance, new paint and a Duncan Design Collection interior, few passengers will know it is not a new airplane.

Value

Research indicates that aircraft with Glass Box systems stand above the fleet on the resale market. In fact, experts forecast most of the investment (near 70%) will be retained. Moreover, the current U.S. tax structure encourages the purchase of new equipment. For an accurate example of your aircraft with this technology, call our JetResources group.

A Unique Industry Position

Duncan Aviation holds a unique position in our industry. Besides evaluating existing technologies—and sometimes certifying them—we are also the top equipment dealer for many of the industry's leaders. Our engineering teams minimize turntimes and ensure quality by keeping our services in-house. And a streamlined FAA approvals process is key to keeping downtimes reasonable.

The Market

The first step in the Glass Box Project is being in tune with our customers and anticipating their operational requirements. Evaluating the systems on (and soon to be on) the market is critical to identifying the best system/airframe matches and, in some cases, certifying them before a customer places an order.

OEM Relationships

As a top equipment dealer for many of the industry’s leaders, Duncan Aviation is in a unique position to keep prices reasonable and services high.

Certification & Engineering

Our experienced engineering team minimizes turntimes and ensures quality by keeping the process in-house. This simplified process shortens the certification time.

FAA

A streamlined FAA approvals process is key to making downtimes reasonable for these installations. Enhanced relationships with the FAA and our in-house DAS authority accelerate the approval process.
