West Star Aviation has completed a major structural repair to an Embraer Legacy 650E fuselage. The project also included a new exterior paint scheme.
The FOD incident occurred as a result of metal objects being launched by a military helicopter landing next to the aircraft while in Peru. The aircraft was evaluated and subsequently ferried to West Star’s full-service MRO facility in East Alton, IL (ALN) for repairs. West Star is an authorized Embraer base maintenance service and warranty provider for most models at its ALN, GJT, and CHA locations.
