West Star Aviation has reconfigured a Falcon 2000 to create a 13-passenger interior in what is typically an eight- to 10-passenger jet. The project, performed at the company’s Alton, Ill. facility, required fabricating a smaller galley and auxiliary galley/entertainment center, shifting the cabin bulkhead/door forward, and extending all the side ledges and window panels.
Rearward, the addition of a new conference group in the back of the cabin necessitated modifying the aft bulkhead to accommodate a new door location. Structural modifications below and above the cabin floor were also required to support the new loading. The interior work extended to all new veneers, soft goods, countertops, plating and switch panels for the new seating configuration.
West Star’s in-house engineering group and on-staff DER provided engineering support, and final certification for the reconfiguration was accomplished via an FAA Form 337.
