In an effort to help business jet operators more easily meet the upcoming ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast) mandate and prevent potential operational disruption for their customers, Duncan Aviation and GE Aviation have collaborated to provide ADS-B benefits to GE’s OnPoint℠ engine service customers through Duncan Aviation’s nationwide full-service and satellite avionics facilities.
Under this new program for OnPoint customers, installation labor related to ADS-B upgrades and engine prognostics hardware is discounted under OnPoint service agreements. GE offers Prognostic Health Management PLUS, an engine prognostic health management solution that facilitates more advanced monitoring and analyses of engine performance and provides FOQA (Flight Operational Quality Assurance) safety services. New OnPoint customers are also eligible to receive these discounts for engine monitoring and ADS-B.
