Duncan Aviation has added tool calibration capabilities at three of its satellite facilities, with plans to expand the availability of the services to more locations as technicians are trained throughout its network. Initial tool calibrations services for torque wrenches, multimeters, and crimpers, among others, will be available at Duncan’s satellites in St. Louis, Missouri; Scottsdale, Arizona; and Oxford, Connecticut. Technicians at those locations were trained in July.

“In response to customers' requests, we’ve been expanding services at many of our satellite shops beyond avionics line and install,” said Matt Nelson, manager of satellite operations for Duncan. “For instance, 19 of our satellite facilities now include main ship and emergency power battery capabilities, and we’re adding tool calibration services to most of the satellites.”

The calibration services are tailored for aviation maintenance tools. “The service is available to anyone in the area who needs an annual calibration on any of the tooling we maintain,” Nelson said. “We tried to focus on the tools most commonly found in the maintenance technician’s toolbox.”

Duncan has 28 satellite facilities and workaway locations.
