The book also includes a section on importing and exporting aircraft, an explanation of the process of obtaining a Supplemental Type Certificate (STC), and a summary of the current state of global harmonization.To download a free copy of the new Certification Straight Talk Book, go to the Duncan Aviation website www.DuncanAviation.aero, click the Resources drop-down menu and select Publications, or copy and paste this direct link: www.DuncanAviation.aero/resources/straight-talk/certification.With regard to STCs, Duncan Aviation has access to or holds 35 STCs for Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B), which allows us to perform upgrades on 100 aircraft models.
