Elliott Aviation Completes Three Embraer Phenom 72-Month Inspections in November

Elliott Aviation, an authorized service center for Embraer Phenom 100 and 300, announces the completion of three Phenom 72-month inspections in the month of November. The 72-month inspections were done on Phenom 100 airframes. All three inspections were delivered the week of November 15th, 2015.

During these major inspections almost every inspection panel is removed, along with the chin and aft fuselage fairings. The process takes about 200 hours for the inspections and an average 100 additional hours for discrepancies. Elliott Aviation completed the Phenom 72-month inspections all within 15 working days.

“We’ve got a great working relationship with our partners at Embraer,” says Mike Saathoff, senior director of Technical Sales at Elliott Aviation. “Our Phenom team is dedicated to taking on the most intense inspections on this airframe. With over 50 coming due in 2016, we are in a great position to offer Phenom customers highly experienced, factory-trained technicians for their airframe.”
