Duncan Aviation Delivers WAAS LPV Solutions

LINCOLN, NEB — Duncan Aviation will soon have WAAS LPV solutions for 10 aircraft models. Starting last March with its first WAAS LPV certification for the Learjet 45 and continuing today with a soon-to-be-complete WAAS LPV solution for the Learjet 31A, Duncan Aviation is leading the WAAS LPV wave by partnering with equipment manufacturers, the FAA and customers to deliver WAAS LPV technology.

"Our customers who have upgraded their aircraft with WAAS LPV say that it is a must-have item," says Steve Elofson, Manager of Duncan Aviation's Avionics Install Service Sales. "It provides operational and safety benefits that every pilot wants, such as ILS-like approaches, increased aircraft performance and reduced pilot workload."
