West Star Aviation’s facility in East Alton, Illinois, has completed the company's first 20-year inspection on a Bombardier Global Express.
The 240-month inspection incorporated a nose gear overhaul, upgrades of the existing Honeywell DU875 avionics with Primus Elite enhanced features, and several service bulletin updates, including one for the inboard flap. A complete strip and repaint of the large-cabin twinjet was performed concurrently as part of the 13-week project.
“Considering West Star’s extensive experience with Global Express aircraft, we stand ready for additional inspections coming due in 2020 and look forward to providing these operators with a full range of inspection and service capabilities,” said Steve Bates, the location’s technical sales manager.
East Alton is one of the company’s four primary service locations, along with Grand Junction, Colorado; Chattanooga, Tennessee; and Perryville, Missouri. The company specializes in repairs and maintenance of airframes, engines, and APUs, along with avionics installation and repair, major modifications, cabin refurbishments, painting, surplus avionics sales, and parts service.
