Duncan Aviation has begun offering mobile&nbsp;non-destructive testing (NDT) to aircraft owners and operators, the MRO provider announced this week. Its in-house NDT teams are a minimum of Level II certified in four methods&nbsp;and can be deployed from Duncan facilities at Lincoln (Nebraska) Airport, Provo (Utah) Municipal Airport, and W.K. Kellogg Airport in Battle Creek, Michigan.

 


NDT services include eddy current, fluorescent penetrant, ultrasonics, and magnetic particle inspections on all aircraft makes and models, including helicopters. “Although we would love for them to come to Duncan Aviation for all of their aircraft maintenance, we understand why some operators elect not to relocate their aircraft,” Duncan Aviation v-p of maintenance Kasey Harwick said. “We work with them to facilitate their NDT requirements so that they can do just that.”

 


Additionally, Duncan Aviation is an authorized Dassault NDT facility in the Western Hemisphere, one of a handful of facilities with personnel trained and authorized to meet Falcon NDT requirements. Of the 22 Dassault-certified NDT technicians in the Western Hemisphere, five are at Duncan Aviation.

News and developments about airplanes, helicopters and unmanned air vehicles used in all varieties of operations, including airlines, military, business, commercial, general aviation and private.
