Clay Lacy Aviation is seeing several 10-year inspections for Embraer Phenom 100s at its Embraer-authorized service centers at Van Nuys Airport (VNY) in Los Angeles and McClellan-Palomar Airport (CRQ) near San Diego, the FBO/MRO announced this week. The company—which also provides aircraft sales, charter, and management services—said it completed its first Phenom 100 inspection in October and has additional inspections this month and into 2020.

The inspection and gear overhaul typically takes four weeks and “is the largest and most thorough in the Phenom maintenance manuals,” according to the company. It includes complete interior removal and opening of all inspection panels. The landing gear is removed and sent to a certified specialist. The process provides for upgrading avionics and connectivity, as well as seat reupholstery, it added.

Clay Lacy Aviation also is marking its 10th year as an Embraer service center. During that time, it has completed 20,000 hours of Phenom maintenance. It currently supports more than 100 Phenom 100s and 300s. That includes the Phenom fleets of JetSuite, NetJets, and Flexjet, as well as the West Coast Embraer Phenom demo fleet. Between its MRO facilities at Van Nuys and McClellan-Palomar, it employs more than 20 Phenom technicians.
