Applies To Aircraft Manufactured In 2009

Clay Lacy Aviation is performing 10-year inspections for Embraer Phenom aircraft at the company’s Embraer Authorized Service Centers at Van Nuys Airport (KVNY) and McClellan-Palomar Airport (KCRQ) near San Diego. Phenom 100 aircraft manufactured in 2009 must complete their 120-month (10-year) inspection by the end of this year. Aircraft produced in 2010 must be inspected in 2020.

Clay Lacy’s factory-trained Embraer experts completed the first Phenom 100 inspection in October, with additional inspections scheduled for December and into the new year. The inspection and gear overhaul typically take four weeks, during which owners can make the most of downtime by scheduling avionics and interior upgrades to enhance their plane’s safety, performance and comfort.

“One of the many reasons we chose Clay Lacy was their in-depth expertise with the Phenom aircraft,” said Phenom 100 owner and CEO Tim Brown, whose jet was recently inspected. “The inspection and gear overhauls were completed on time and on budget, and their service was exceptional throughout the process.”

The 120-month inspection is the largest and most thorough in the Phenom maintenance manuals. The interior is completely removed and all inspection panels are opened. The inspection is timed to coincide with the required overhaul of the plane’s landing gear, which are removed and sent to a certified specialist. Clay Lacy is an authorized dealer for leading avionics and connectivity solutions, so Phenom owners can conveniently upgrade their aircraft with Gogo AVANCE L3 or L5 high-speed internet, a Garmin G1000 NXi integrated flight deck, ADS-B, TCAS and other systems. Owners can easily refresh their interior with reupholstered seats in Embraer original premium leathers through Clay Lacy’s onsite partner, Seat Air Systems.
