LINCOLN, Neb. -- Duncan Aviation’s Engineering & Certification Department has received approvals from three civil aviation authorities for its Supplemental Type Certificates (STCs)--ST01810WI and ST01811WI-that upgrade the Honeywell Primus II system for Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast-Out (ADS-B) in Cessna 560/560XL and Hawker 800/800XP aircraft, respectively. Approved by the FAA in December 2015, the STCs have also been accepted by Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), Mexico’s Dirección General de Aeronáutica Civil (DGAC), and the 27-member nations of the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).

These approvals mean that aircraft in the countries that abide by those three civil aviation authorities can now access these two Duncan Aviation STCs and comply with the FAA’s January 1, 2020, ADS-B mandate. Without upgrading to ADS-B by the mandate deadline, aircraft will face limitations or be denied the ability to fly in US airspace.

Additionally, the Duncan Aviation Engineering & Certification Department has been developing STCs for various equipment and aircraft to give aircraft owner/operators as much choice regarding ADS-B equipment as possible. The company now holds or has access to 42 STCs for FAA-approved ADS-B equipment, which allows the company to perform upgrades on more than 100 aircraft models. Search the company’s NextGen Solutions database to see what STCs and ADS-B equipment is available for your aircraft at www.DuncanAviation.aero/services/avionics-installation/nextgen-solutions.

In the final 11 months before the FAA’s January 1, 2020, deadline for its ADS-B mandate, roughly 45% of the business jets in the United States have not complied.
