Clay Lacy Completes Tenth Embraer Phenom 120-Month Inspection

Clay Lacy Aviation, an Embraer Authorized Service Center, recently completed its tenth 10-year/120-month inspection on Embraer Phenom 100 and 300 aircraft, with five additional inspections underway. Inspections are being completed at the company’s FAA Part 145 Repair Stations at Van Nuys Airport (KVNY) and McClellan-Palomar Airport (KCRQ) near San Diego. Popular additions to the scope of work include seat reupholstery, new carpet, baggage area refurbishment, Gogo AVANCE L3 high-speed internet, and for Phenom 100 models, the Garmin G1000 NXi integrated flight deck upgrade that will be available for the Phenom 300 later this year.

The 120-month inspection is the largest and most thorough in the Phenom maintenance manuals to date. The interior is completely removed, and all inspection panels are opened. The inspection takes three weeks without landing gear overhaul, and four to five weeks if the landing gear overhaul is included. Avionics, Wi-Fi and interior upgrades can be accomplished without extending downtime with Clay Lacy’s onsite avionics dealerships and complete interior shop.
