The upper and lower supporting structure, potable, gray and waste water plumbing, electrical (IFE/CMS/Cabin Lighting, etc), periphery (i.e. headliners, valances and domes) system, in the current cabin layout would have to be demoded as to allow the new cabin layout. =ot being the completion center holding the original interior STC approved engineering data package we would have to create the engineering data required to support the certification process (STC) for the new configuration. The FAA certification level is greater today=than it was in 1999, when the original interior was initially certified (S=C) In order to salvage and reuse the existing seats, divans, furnishings, bulkheads, side-ledges or monuments the engineering for the installation of these cabin elements would have to be validated. There is the risk that many of the cabin elements certified in the 1999 STC could not be certified in today's regulatory environment. In essence the NRE, labor and material costs and the down-time time involved for the desired floorplan would be even greater than starting with a green aircraft without an interior already in place (8-12 mont=s down-time and $25.0 M. to $30.0 M price range) as we would have to spend quite a bit of effort in analyzing and validating the original interior. On the other hand, if acceptable to your Principal, we were able to work around the existing interior distribution layout and limit the refurbishment efforts to incorporating new materials and design features we would be in the 4-8 months down-time and $5.0 M to $7.0 M budgetary price range.
