Trusted By Embraer Operators

Many of Duncan Aviation’s Embraer customers manage their own flight departments and take their aircraft there for inspections, upgrades, refurbishment, paint, and maintenance. They know Duncan Aviation technicians treat them as partners, offering transparency, respect, and exceptional service.

Bobby Lipcamon, who now flies a Praetor 500 for the sixth-generation, family-owned company Knapheide, has been working with Duncan Aviation since 1990.

“Over the years, I’ve liked walking around the hangars and talking to the techs,” said Lipcamon. “I’ll tell them, ‘I’m not here to check your work—I’m here to learn,’ and they always take the time to show me what they’re doing. That kind of relationship means a lot.”

Attention to Detail

Director of Maintenance Cuby Fajardo recently brought a Praetor 600 to Duncan Aviation’s Provo facility for its 48-month inspection.

“The communication throughout the project was excellent,” said Fajardo. “Project Manager Jim Laughner and Assistant Team Leader Tom Boyle were incredibly thorough. Tom, especially, made sure I understood every step. His expertise in identifying and addressing discrepancies was invaluable, and he took the time to walk us through the resolution plan with great attention to detail.”

Fajardo spent time at the facility, working in his own customer office, and was impressed with both the team and the environment.

“This was my first visit to Duncan Aviation, and I was really pleased,” said Fajardo. “Everyone was friendly and knowledgeable, and the facility was spotless.”

Delivering On Time

For Lipcamon, reliability is everything.

“Our aircraft are business tools; they need to be available when promised,” he says. “That’s why I trust Duncan Aviation. They keep me informed, meet deadlines, and understand how downtime affects our business.”

Quality You Can Count On

“The quality of the work was outstanding,” says Fajardo. “From start to finish, Duncan Aviation impressed me. I’d absolutely return for future work and recommend them to other DOMs.”

After 35 years, Lipcamon’s recommendation is just as strong. “There’s a friendly, family feel at Duncan Aviation. You’re not just a name—you’re a person. I’d never go anywhere else.”
