Thanks. Do you fly?

Citation XL / XLS

Yes. RW behind you is useless 😉

I do training in the Eclipse. Please feel free to contact me +1-917-951-8504. I got mine done at X58 with the guy, who since retired. Do you already have an Eclipse?

One of CJ's? Does he fly himself?

CJ2 and bigger are certified up to FL450. So possibly if they got a block they could be at 42000.

Thanks for your feedback. Let me know what I can help you with.

We can find you a parking spot 😉

Thank you! I appreciate your feedback. Do you fly?

@@MaxJetRev Thank you. No I don't but I hope to someday.

I mostly find used (serviceable / as removed / overhauled) parts for Premier to keep the cost under control. I hadn't had any issues with parts supply used or new. Collins PL21 sucks! It's old school design, without the mid for user experience or user interface. If something brakes, replacements are 2X to 10X the price of comparable Garmin or IS&S (Eclipse) unit.

С удовольствием. На чём Вы летаете?

Everyone has their flaws 😂

Currently he's flying SP, including several transatlantic trips. In this video he was still learning. His strength is ability to admit that he needs training and ability to learn.

That's like comparing apples and oranges 😂 What kind of G do you have?

Beyond obnoxious to come make. Comparing a 3.5 million dollar plane to a 20 to 80 million dollar plane!

@@rdawgz866 it all depends on the mission. I'm sure the Gulfstream is not as good with short runways 😉 I've been to airports with runways under 3000 ft in the Eclipse.

Unfortunately I don't think it will ever come to life. It needs to much re-certification work (cost) and relatively small market.

There are no minimum hour requirements to be typed as a PIC. You may have a type rating as a private pilot. It all depends on the quality of your previous experience. What do you currently fly?

@@MaxJetRev Max thanks for your reply and I currently fly 172 but, I'm looking to get into a Piaggio and Hawker 1000 for the business this year.

@@williamsimmons8028 ouch. Both of those are maintenance nightmares 🙈

You need to get an Instrument Rating, then you may start working on your type rating. What do you currently fly?

Marketing works… People buy jets based on emotion vs common cense. Anyone familiar with jet basics would understand that jets reach efficiency at high 30’s and 40’s. SF-50 has turboprop performance.

@@MaxJetRev I would argue that SF-50 is lagging to turboprop performance. I'd rather have a TBM or Pilatus for 50 reasons than a Cirrus jet. I guess that is why there are so many Cirrus jets for sale....

@@Glofilter people buy Cirrus Jet as a toy, fly it and realize what it worth... Same with HJ. It's nice, but....

That’s a good remark. I meant you can’t use engines bleed for pressurization during take off, even if engine anti ice is off. Which to me seems strange.

Agreed. Russian military build and design quality has always been on a very low level.

Thank you. Do you fly?

Thank you 😊

Thanks for your feedback. Do you fly?

I have my ppl but haven't flown in years. I worked at Eclipse for 10 years. I was lead designer on doors, windows, nose and cockpit among others.@@MaxJetRev

All inclusive (fixed & variable) is around $1100 / h. But as you probably know, it will depend heavily on where and how you do the maintenance. If you go to the big name shops they will bill the hell out of you without the added safety or quality benefit.

@@MaxJetRev thank you so much 😊👍

@@audioenergy you are welcome. What do you currently fly?

@@MaxJetRev I'm not flying at all at the moment. I will start the PPL training this year. But I need a small jet or a TBM/ Meridian for my business.

@@audioenergy I would definitely go for a jet. Another level of comfort and safety at more or less the same operating expenses. Let me know if you need help finding the right plane, finding / training the right pilot and setting up our operations the way it doesn't break your bank +1(917)951-8504

It’s a little less than 800 lbs. Let’s say two have to be ladies 😉 What do you fly?

@@MaxJetRev Don't fly anything, looking to start learning, but when I start looking at the useful load of many GA airplanes along with turboprops and even light jets it's kind of a head scratcher for usefulness as to what I'd actually do with a PPL. I'd like to be able to fly cross country from Central Texas to the West coast with maximum one stop, with minimum 3 people and some baggage. But when I look at the payload range of many GA aircraft it's hard to make it make sense. It doesn't appear some of the lower end jets and turboprops are much better. I'm 6'7"/2m01 and I've never weighed under 230 in the last 20 years and I'm more than that now. Which is an additional segue in that I need something that my knees are not jammed against the dash, but that's another discussion. I really like the sidesticks like on the Eclipse but it is not common in GA aircraft except for Cirrus.

@@JimBronson if you want to learn to fly yourself, Cirrus SR22 is the way to go. You will enjoy flying it to learn and 1 stop trips to West Coast with 2-3 people on board are doable. Eclipse can carry 4 people TX to West Coast no problem.

550 is 500 made in 2013-2017. No other significant differences. You really need to understand Eclipse versions before buying it. I can help. Feel free to contact me +1(917)951-8504. iMessage or WhatsApp works best.

Yes. The cockpit is really tight. Eclipse has more space.

It’s not. In my opinion is too crammed. You would have to crawl to every seat other than 2L. Five is doable.

It has a check list on MFD. It’s not convenient though. Does not have a designated scroll wheel. What do you fly?

@@MaxJetRev My chair. I'm just an interested amateur, watching various aviation channels, dreaming of getting a license some time. Unfortunately, flying is *very* expensive here in Germany, as in, "with my disposable income I can afford 2 hours of flying per month". I've just been watching premier1driver a lot and I think his digital checklist is rather efficient, checking the items with a button on the yoke. I have to admit, I've been writing checklists for my work (in IT) and they're more convenient on paper. Most of them got automated away, though. If I can make a checklist, it can frequently be automated and the computer is even better at following checklists than a human... ;-)

I do. Please feel free to contact me +1(917)951-8504

Eclipse concept is very well thought out with modern user experience concepts. A lot other manufacturers forget that easy to fly planes are safe and instead use off the shelf solutions from older planes with 50’s tech. Hopefully the new Eclipse owners will be able to restart production and make some cool upgrades to the plane.

Thanks. What do you currently fly?

It’s a great plane. What do currently fly?

Nothing....retired from the airlines in 2020. Would love my own plane and the Eclipse is at the top of the list.@@MaxJetRev

@@unpilot1 if you are an experienced pilot version 1.9 is all you need. You can find one for well under $1m

I love having AT and Anti lock brakes!@@MaxJetRev

@@unpilot1 anti throttles are cool. Antilock brakes are not that big of a deal in the Eclipse since it touches down at a speed of around 80 knots. Unless you go really crazy on the brakes it’s hard to skid.

It sure was good for its time, but I think by now it is a little outdated. I love the way it flys (very responsive), but operating it is the whole different story.

Yes, it is indeed outdated. There is a huge acquisition saving cost as a result. Speaking of outdated, bags still have to be carried up the stairs & loaded in the cabin unless an aftermarket baggage attachment is purchased.

@@carlos23161 the point is they are cheap to buy, but expensive and cumbersome to maintain.

@@MaxJetRev And the reason they're expensive and cumbersome to maintain is parts availability for the most part. Cockpit windscreens for hawkers have tripled in price and lead time over the last few years for example and if you want to get anything for an 800xp with the old honeywell avionics... good luck.

@@Tomatnaufmaugn my mechanics also complain about bad manuals etc.

Thanks for sharing your experience! That's much better AOG statistics than in a lot of comparable airplanes. Out of my experience I get most of AOG's in Premiers.

Question, have you had any mechanical or parts supply issues with the Eclipse? I am in the market to purchase one in the near future.

@@stresswes now there are no issues. In fact Eclipse has very good support. There were issues years ago, but you can always find parts if you look hard enough 😉

@@stresswes Where are you located? Maybe we can look together for a plane. I am in Reno, NV

It seems like every pilot who flew the Eclipse loves it! But there are a lot of people out there who only heard stories about Eclipse and spread a lot of negative myths about it.

Question, have you had any mechanical or parts supply issues with the Eclipse? I am in the market to purchase one in the near future.

No, @stresswes, I have never been AOG due to lack of parts in the 12 years I have had the airplane. The new owner has done a great job getting vendor relationships back on track.

​@@gordonf8208thanks for the reply.

@@stresswes there are no issues with Eclipse parts.

Thanks for your feedback. What other planes would you like to see on our channel?

@@MaxJetRev whatever else you are typed in!

@@Mets747do you fly 747's?

@@MaxJetRev unfortunately no lol. PPL ASEL atm. Working on instrument

@@Mets747 that's a good start. Where do you fly out of?

Original Eclipse had Avydine, then switched to IS&S. Versions 1.0-1.7 had GNS400 for navigation, but it was connected to Avydine or IS&S.

That’s interesting. I have heard the Cirrus story many times.

During the Eclipse development years, he flew a Turbo Commander.

@@gordonf8208 i WAS IN IT MANY, MANY, MANY TIMES.

In Wichita?

No, in Independence, KS. The Mustang and Mustang M2, were made at KIDP.

@@jacobskelton6256that's where Cessna pistons are made if I'm correct?

@MaxJetRev you are correct. However, as I'm sure you are aware, Mustang production was stopped a several years ago.

The North East coroner FBO? 😅

@@MaxJetRev Worse, South East. Back in 2015 it was known as Sano Jet Center (vomit). Tried getting a job at Banyan to no avail. Had interviews for Atlantic in both Boca and Palm that were no go's.

@@Helicopterpilot16 I remember this one. Now it's Executive Jet. They are trying, doing little improvements here and there. In the past couple of years so much airport real estate was developed, that it seems like runways are at capacity. Two brand new FBO's in OPF and the olds once are building hangars.

I would pick Eclipse over Mustabg any day. By the way I do have a video about Mustabg on my Channel ua-cam.com/video/7nsApPUJBaE/v-deo.htmlsi=_-kJ_HXTPoFZ8g_E

That’s a wild guess. Unfortunately CJ is not a fighter. Although it does vector thrust out 😉 What do you think it is used for?

My bad, what I meant was to slow it down

@@danarami6378 that’s correct. Thrust attenuators block forward thrust which in turn helps the pane slow down, because early FJ44 engines had relatively high idle thrust.

another words, poor man's trust reversers on my next trip to NYC I'd contact you, perhaps for a short time if you're available and not flying? Thank you Max,

@@danarami6378 I’m not in NYC 😅

It’s 1050 nm.

​@@MaxJetRev range with 4 adults?

Getting private in a da-42 and would like to maybe move here next

@@aaronmuller5891 you can do four normal size adults and full tanks. Remember this airplane is approved with 6 total seats. In the video 2 middle raw seats are out.

@@aaronmuller5891nice basic training machine, but Cirrus is a bit better if you'd like to transition to Eclipse or such. Cirrus gets you use to higher speeds.
