Two Embraer-authorized service centers operating under the&nbsp;Indiana-based Eagle Creek family have completed 120-month inspections on 20&nbsp;Phenom 100s and 300s, including landing-gear overhauls due at the same interval. Eagle Creek Aviation at Eagle Creek Airpark (EYE) near Indianapolis and Naples Jet Center at Florida’s Naples Airport (APF) performed the inspections and overhauls.

 


Those inspections include 120-month airframe inspection items and stacked inspections, as well as 24-month pitot-static and transponder tests, required engine inspections, and repair and return of landing gear. The landing gear overhaul calls for complete disassembly, cleaning, inspection, non-destructive testing, reassembly, functional testing, and painting.

 


Along with the Phenom inspections, Eagle Creek’s shops installed five Garmin G1000 NXi flight decks. Designed for Phenom 100s equipped with Garmin’s Prodigy Flight Deck, the G1000 NXi upgrade offers wireless flight plan and database updates, SurfaceWatch runway monitoring, and visual approach guidance. Eagle Creek Aviation is also a Garmin service center.

 


“During this time of uncertainty, we realize many of our customers may not be flying their aircraft as often as normal, but we also understand that mandated inspections still need to be completed to maintain airworthiness,” said Eagle Creek Aviation CEO Matt Hagans. “We are working even closer with our customers to schedule required inspections, while being flexible with timing, offering pickup and drop-off service, along with providing a thorough disinfection process before delivery.”
