LINCOLN, NEB — In the early 1980s, Duncan Aviation’s Chairman Emeritus Robert Duncan conceived of an ingenious way to make the company’s avionics experts available to customers throughout the United States: Take the Duncan Aviation Avionics technicians to busy business aviation airports around the country where our customers’ hangars were located. The idea proved popular with Duncan Aviation’s customers.
By 1989, the idea had really taken off. There were 11 shops throughout the country, located in Houston, Texas; Fort Lauderdale, Florida; Atlanta, Georgia; Chicago, Illinois; White Plains, New York; St. Louis, Missouri; Santa Ana and San Jose, California; Washington, DC; Scottsdale, Arizona; and Cleveland, Ohio, and a shop in Dallas, Texas was due to open by the end of the year.
Today, we are celebrating the network of 28 Duncan Aviation Satellite Shops and workaway stations located throughout the United States (https://www.duncanaviation.aero/locations/#satellites). In addition to avionics line services, the Satellite Shops provide avionics service and support for aircraft owner/operators in times of critical, casual, or remote-location need. The teams at the Satellite Shops around the country are also able to provide popular avionics installations, such as:
Although the concept of placing the company’s talented, experienced avionics technicians closer to Duncan Aviation’s customers hasn’t changed, the scope and breadth of services has. Duncan Aviation Avionics Satellite technicians inspect, install, troubleshoot, service and repair virtually every type of equipment your aircraft might have, or need to have, aboard. They are supported by our full-service avionics and instruments shops located in Lincoln, Nebraska.
The Duncan Aviation Satellite Shops also coordinate any repair, overhaul, exchange, loaner, or part needed for any jet, turbine, piston-powered aircraft, or helicopter.
Manager of Satellite Operations Matt Nelson said, “I’ve worked with Duncan Aviation since 1987, and I’ve been involved with the Satellite System for 27 years. In general, the Duncan Aviation Satellite Shops have the finest avionics talent in the business aviation industry. It’s not just the Satellites, either, but also the main facilities—we’ve cross-pollinated over the years a bit, and that’s helped build and strengthen our culture throughout the entire company.”
