Duncan Aviation Grows Mobile NDT Inspection Services

Duncan Aviation has expanded its mobile non-destructive testing (NDT) services, offering aircraft operators nationwide access to onsite inspection expertise. The company’s mobile NDT program provides an option for customers who want smaller, in-house inspections without the need to relocate their aircraft. Duncan’s mobile teams are based in Lincoln, Nebraska; Battle Creek, Michigan; and Provo, Utah.

Each mobile unit is equipped to perform a broad range of inspections, including eddy current, fluorescent penetrant, ultrasonic, magnetic particle, and optical prism testing. All technicians are full-time NDT Level 2 or 3 in accordance with NAS410 certification standards.

Duncan Aviation holds NDT-specific authorizations from Dassault, Textron, Honeywell, Rolls-Royce, and Pratt & Whitney Canada. The company said these approvals confirm its ability to meet manufacturer-specific requirements and maintain consistency across all testing environments.

Thanks to the expansion, Duncan Aviation can deliver the same quality testing performed at its main facilities directly at customers’ locations. The company describes its mobile NDT teams as an extension of its in-house service network, ensuring operators receive timely and compliant inspections wherever their aircraft are based.
