    Phenom 100 S/G

    Read Marcus’s EU trip and AOG event.
    nice pics and description, Marcus! Thanks.
    Does the 100 also require S/G overhaul at 800 hrs? Is there an SB? If so, is it mandatory?

    Yes I think the overhaul is 800 but some of the older ones are grandfathered in at 1200 (mine was). I don't know about the mandatory-ness ((Username Protected) might!) but I've heard from other operators and field service reps that it's good to get these done on time...it's a pretty important component and Marcus is now the second person I know who has had one fail right around TBO, so I got mine done right on time.

    Hi (Username Protected), the S/G overhaul was at 1200 hours with 600 hour brush check. The problem with that, is if the brushes were more than 50% worn, only a qualified overhaul shop could replace them and run them in. So the cost to replace the brushes vs putting the S/G through an overhaul were similar enough that many S/Gs were being overhauled every 600 hours. So omitting the 600 hour brush check and overhauling every 800 hours was actually a cost reduction.
