My Favorite - Eclipse 500 Review | Avio v. 2.9.6
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 тра 2024
- What sets the Eclipse 550 apart from the Eclipse 500? Let's explore the details. We will concentrate on the technical specifications of the Eclipse 500 personal jet with Avio 2.9.6 avionics, autothrottle, synthetic vision, and ABS.
This aircraft was purposefully designed with pilots in mind, and this attention to detail is evident in every aspect. Unlike many other aircraft, it avoids the use of numerous relays and mechanical fuses commonly found in aviation. Instead, all systems are fully automated, electronic, and under computer control, making them exceptionally reliable in practice.
And don't let the sizes fool you. The Eclipse 500 is a light jet that can fly at an altitude of 41,000 feet and has a maximum cruise speed of 370 knots true airspeed. At FL410, the Eclipse 500 uses 52 gallons of fuel per hour.
Eclipse is renowned for its fuel efficiency and low operating costs, comparable to piston-engine aircraft, making it a highly appealing choice for business and private aviation. Eclipse is a personal jet meticulously crafted with the pilot's needs at the forefront. The aircraft boasts modern avionics, a glass cockpit, and integrated navigation and control systems. Additionally, our aircraft includes throttle automation, simplifying the piloting experience.
Eclipse represents a fresh perspective on light aviation, focusing on cutting-edge technology and passenger comfort. This makes it a top pick for individuals in search of an innovative and dependable aircraft in this category.

Best Eclipse Jet video I have seen!
Max does a great job
I appreciate you comment! That was our task for this jet🔥
Thank you. Feedback keeps me motivated!
I was so glad you did this in English.
❤️ that little jet.
Thanks. Did you see the Russian version?
Yes even though I don’t understand the language I watched alll the way thru & gave thumbs up. Look forward to more videos.
I remember sitting in one of these in Oshkosh 2005 I believe. Great to see that there still is a more up to date version of it available. Great alternative to a C510 Mustang.
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
Nice video, Max! I have owned and flown an Eclipse jet for over 11 years. It's the same configuration as the one in your video. You absolutely nailed it when you stated that you have a grin on your face every time you fly it. I've been flying for 50 years and have flown many types, but, like you, this is my favorite. I pinch myself every time I fly it and never forget how fortunate I am to be able to do so. It's the perfect personal jet.
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.
Seriously great job! Your videos are clear, informative and entertaining. I’m a non-pilot and sat in the right seat of a Premier 1 recently…watched your video beforehand and had a way better experience.
Preparation pays off. Are you planning to get your pilot certificate?
Stoked! Was just hoping to see a new vid from you. Your unique and genuine style, thorough discussion, points of view and Overviews have a unique feel and place in aviation youtube. Keep it up.
Thank you. What other airplanes would you like me to review?
CJ4, Hondajet- have a soft spot for long range efficient light jets. And Niche type, Hawker 400, Citation II SP that have sort of unique mission profiles. You've done the premier one. Mustangs seem to fit a neat role as well. Great flight review video in that.@@MaxJetRev
@@timsun6810 thanks. I definitely want to do the HondaJet 🤫
The systems on the eclipse seem really phenomenal.
Especially considering aviation conservatism. Do you fly?
I do! Recreationally for 10years, hoping to take it to commercial level in 2024 -@@MaxJetRev
@@timsun6810 good luck with your commercial!
Seems like you departed from KFXE. Worked at a really shotty FBO there back in 2015. We had an eclipse stop in and it was my first time seeing one up close. Really cool machine and the cockpit is perfection!
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.
Just came across your channel, been really enjoying the videos! Great info and great video production, looking forward to more!
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?
Great job selling Eclipse Jet! Nice video.
Thank you 😊
This is my "if I win the lottery" first jet
It all starts with a dream 😉 I’m sure you’ll get as long as you put effort into it 💪
Super review. I have flown a 550 for 6 years and 1,000 hours. It has been a tremendous personal aircraft. I have had 2 AOG episodes. The part situation has improved substantially. To upgrade in capabilities I would have to double my costs of both capitol and operating expenses.
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 😉
Thank you bro, very good explanation.
Thank you. Do you fly?
Best eclipse jet video I've seen- even better than the ones made by folks trying to sell you one. I like that you pointed out the only advantage Cirrus has is their marketing team. Why anyone would want an underpowered single engine jet baffles me.
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....
@Max :- Can you please Flight review the Eclipse 550 also? Also do you train peeps on these? TIA!
The plane in the video is practically the same as Eclipse 550.
Very nice video and clear and concise information. I would love to have one of these. Maybe when the market improves a little.
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.
Great video Max. I want to get a type in this airplane - do you do training? Also, where did you get your upset training to meet the requirement for the Eclipse rating?
Love your video and all your replies
How do you get certified for the eclipse after getting ppl in a single engine
What would be next steps to get certified for eclipse as your private plane
Flying only as a Simpilot with X-plane 11.55 and the Aerobask Eclipse 550 NG.
Great little jet and my favorite when I whant to fly little aircrafts.😊
Thanks for your video.
Cause of depencies xplane and Garmin 1000 the Systems in the aerobask Eclipse are more Garmin-like as in the original Eclipse, but therefore not to far away.
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.
Love your videos, Max I like your matter-of-fact style. Do you need an intern?
Do you fly or film?
@@MaxJetRev I do both. Have a degree in photography and am dual rated fixed/rotor-heli commercial cfii, etc. И говорю по русский
@@crazy10sevenэто замечательно)) Вы в Майами?
Я живу в Нью-Йорке, но езжу в Майами/Форт-Лодердейл несколько раз в месяц. Can shoot you an email
Nice jet!
Thanks. What do you fly?
@@MaxJetRev embraer 195 here in austria! Just started my career November last year. Love it!
@@florianhoflehner2877 cool 😎 I picked up a Phenom 100 we bought in Perth right before COVID.
@@MaxJetRev oh wow that must have been an adventure 😍 cant wait for your future videos!
Hey Max! Just came across your channel and loved this video on the Eclipse. I have a friend/client who is wanting to move from a turbo commander to an Eclipse. Would love to have a conversation with you about any 550’s that you know are available, or will be coming available soon. We are based out of KLXT but can access KMKC very easily. Safe travels my friend!
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.
First on the waiting list!
And the first to watch?
haha, probably! But I realized I'm watching it for the second time, just in English instead of Russian now :))@@MaxJetRev
Something amazing was missing… is in your approach electronic chart where you can see the plane flying profile in the chart pushing in the line select left keys number two … I don’t know why did not have you that option in fly … YOUR AMAZING VIDEO … you are sooo right Is the favorite one as a personal better easy that turbo pro propeller even little big jet get complicate because are not 150% real single pilot
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.
Do you teach to get rating in the eclipse ??? Woow I own one but I need to get my rating
I do. Please feel free to contact me +1(917)951-8504
Enjoyed this video a lot. But your headset microphone when transmitting sounded terrible! Thought it worth passing along.
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
The eclipse has fans,,, however would ultimately like the EA 700,, extended version of the 550..
Unfortunately I don't think it will ever come to life. It needs to much re-certification work (cost) and relatively small market.
Hi Max, great what is the range of this eclipse if you don't mind? Thank you
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.
What would be the seat pitch for a 6 seat configuraton? Still pretty comfortable? I suppose carrying 6 humans would cut into your range quite a bit one of these.
It’s not. In my opinion is too crammed. You would have to crawl to every seat other than 2L. Five is doable.
How much are the operating costs per hour, when i fly 100 h per year?
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
No checklist on the glass cockpit... surprising, considering the high level of integration.
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... ;-)
Single pilot perspective jet that’s amazing and after watching this Max I love it
Thanks. What do you currently fly?
Vern NEVER owned a Cirrus. He owned a Constellation, a B-25 and a Beech Duke. He flew Paul Allen's Cessna CJ1 for Vulcan Investments which introduced him to the advantages and efficencies of light jet travel.
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.
Тема дальности и грузоподъемности осталась нераскрыта =(
Четыре человека, полные баки - 1050 морских миль (1950 км).
Nice bird , but I like my GulfStream
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!
bro you really need to work on your english, you are just so hard to listen to
Everyone has their flaws 😂
Love your video and all your replies

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