Duncan Aviation’s Engineering and Certification Services department is pleased to announce the Top 5 most-in-demand Supplemental Type Certificates (STCs) during the 2019 calendar year. This year, with the FAA’s Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) mandate deadline just weeks away, you may have expected to see a few of the Top 5 selling STCs related to ADS-B Out, and there are two. The other three STCs rounding out the top five are for the Gogo Business Aviation’s AVANCE L5 wi-fi system, for which demand has been steady.
Here are the Top 5 Duncan Aviation STCS for 2019
