West Star modifies Falcon 2000 to 13-passenger configuration

West Star has reconfigured a Falcon 2000 to a unique 13-passenger configuration. The Falcon 2000 is normally configured for 8 or 10 passengers. The reconfiguration required fabricating a new, reduced size RH galley and LH Aux galley/entertainment center, shifting the forward cabin bulkhead/door forward, and extending all the side ledges and window panels. The aft cabin bulkhead was also modified to off-set the new door location resulting from the new conference group. Additionally structural modifications were required below and above the cabin floor to accommodate the new loading. Engineering support was provided by West Star’s in-house engineering group and on-staff DER. Final certification for the reconfiguration was completed via an FAA Form 337. The final touch was all new veneers, soft goods, countertops, plating, and switch panels for the new seating configuration.
