While landing i just heard "500 feet"....I expected to hear decreasing feets' altitude (100, 50, 20) like i've heard in other jet videos. Why it gives just the 500 feet altitude?
Well, I fly the virtual version of this plane in XPlane11 constantly. The only thing that version seems to lack are the recessed keyboards under the PFDs and avionics. I've been trying to master the Eclipse for a year and a half at least, by now. The good thing is that it's easy as can be to start up and get going. It also lands very well, but it lacks reversers and speedbrakes, so one thing I've learned is to always nail my landing speed you NEVER want to come in hot with the Eclipse. Ever. I did a flight from LAX to Klamath Falls tonight in the sim., was raining and a bit overcast as I came in to the approach, but I had a perfect ILS landing for Runway 32. My one question is: why doesn't the plane have windshield wipers? It does have the Defog switch on the front left bank of controls.
I have the free version (free by Aerobask) and have flown it a couple of times. Seemed to handle like a fighter jet, so I thought it may not be that good. I know there's a paid version (also by Aerobask) but haven't bought it yet. Is the free version still a good representation?
@@mikem.2078 I forgot Aerobask even put out a free version. I'm not a pilot and I haven't flown in a real Eclipse, but I bought the payware version a year or more ago, and it's become my go-to plane for XPlane11. It's easy to fly, easy to start up and shut down, and it's kind of idiot-proof. I think it handles just fine. The only thing is not having reversers or speedbrakes, which is a challenge. Coming in really fast is not a good idea in that plane.
@@thiscorrosion900 I just took both the Aerobask free Eclipse 550 as well as the Cirrus SF50 out for some spins the last few days. As a newbie I have to say they feel fairly the same. Yes the Eclipse seems more stable, and has a bit more fast kick to it (2 engines?). But the Cirrus has that right "map" (Garmin 1000?) as well as the popout options that Laminar built into it, so I might have to pick Cirrus for now. No reversers? I have a Thrust reverser switch programmed on my joystick and have used that several times on the Eclipse -- am I not supposed to? Also, have you programmed some "pitch trim up / down" switches on the Eclipse? I've done that with the Challenger Bombardier 300 as it also has no trim wheel, so pitch trim switches have seemed to function quite the same. I figure you already have done that, though.
@@mikem.2078 I've only used the payware Eclipse. I thought it had no reverse thrust at all, never tried to use it with that plane. The pitch is supposedly on the joystick in the plane itself, though for some reason it doesn't seem to work in my version. So yeah, just use it manually or on the throttle or whatever. I do like the Cirrus Vision, it's a fun plane, and the Garmin in that plane seems to function better than a lot of other payware Garmins for some reason. Plus it has all the SIDS/STARS procedures and all that. The only thing with that Garmin is making sure you remember to arm a (pre-loaded) approach or procedure, or it won't activate, of course.
You know, that actually looks a LOT easier than flying a Cessna 182! No mags to check, no mixture or prop to worry about, probably a lot less noisy, too. I also was wondering about your accents, the little I heard them, and obviously in a European country. I see the aircraft is registered through a Trust with AGC. Not that I'm ever going to be able to afford a jet, but I guess that works out for you. But, I'm also an American citizen, so I wouldn't need to do that. Anyway, thanks for taking us along for a ride. It was great to watch you and the aircraft perform, and I really wish I could afford to own one. By the way, I like the AutoThrottles, too. The only thing I saw missing was the Synthetic Vision, which I kind of expected. Oh well. Thanks!

@@cleburne-dfwseptic6843 No, it isn't nearly that expensive. There's a cost analysis of running this plane by another youtuber who owns one, and it was about a third of that.
Hey Oscar, that's a great question. I'm not sure of your familiarity with pilot licensure so let me say that there are certain jets that are single pilot certifiable, meaning that with training a single pilot can be certified to fly the aircraft. To that end a number of used jets made within the past 15 years can be found for under $3MM. As you referenced the beautiful Phenom 100, Citation Mustang, Cessna CJ1, CJ2, Cirrus SF 50, and I with adequate training the Beechcraft Premier and Lear 31 can all be had for under $3MM. Single pilot certification aside, you could probably consider a Beechcraft/Hawker 400 too.
@@MooseKicks1066 You really should use some facts when you talk aircraft. It was the original company (Eclipse Aerospace) that went into liquidation and their aircraft was the Eclipse 500. One Aviation (New Mexico) bought the rights and developed the 550 a much improved aircraft you see here which is going well.
@@zorbalight3933 you should really learn a little courtesy when explaining information people may not be aware of, regardless if the topic is regarding aircraft or not. You could have said everything you did to A_Friendly_Fish without the prelude snarkiness.
Nice ride. Best part is at 17:03 when right seat turns and smiles. Beautiful!
Amen.

I was going to buy an eclipse 550 but I decided to pay off my 2006 Honda Accord.
I spent half this video just watching the auto throttles 😁
3:13 I'd be hitting that button all the time just to hear that noise!

How fast to fly ?
700-800 km./h
+Chang Chang 370 knots
It is the first 550 in Germany. So guess which accent?
sweden?......
Gary C I agree on this vs a Cessna. I want to start flying and progress through the props straight to light jets like this.
How do you flying the eclipse jet?
I could not read the instruments. What was the rate of climb? Thank you for this video.
7:20 start
Алексей Лисицын почему так громко в кабине, это нормально?
нормально
Schade, dass die Eclipse in Deutschland nicht zugelassen ist.
Great video. Where were you flying to, from?
LOWS -> LOWS (Salzburg) Departing/Landing Runway 15
I wanted see more about it.If possible then kindly try to show me more about it
Thanks

take it She is an instructor?

what is the time duration i need for training. training to fly this jet or the vision jet by myself.
The music is brilliant! hahhaha I love that little jet! so kool,,so dope!
HI, what is the operating cost per hour to have the engines and the avionics on protection programs, thanks
$1,000/hour?
@@cleburne-dfwseptic6843 No, it isn't nearly that expensive. There's a cost analysis of running this plane by another youtuber who owns one, and it was about a third of that.
Does this pilot remind you of Frasier Crane?
what is better eclipse or phenom 100 and what others jets are under 3 millon dollars?

looks like the auto throttles work fine :)
It's a nice bird and they are not that expensive so with fractional ownership, almost anyone can afford one.. many missed opportunities in aviation.
It's too bad they went bankrupt. Only 33 made.

Is it easy to learn to fly this machine? How long does it take to learn?
Waqar Ghulam numerous ratings required. Are you already a pilot at all? Twin engine, IFR, turbine, etc.
Hahahahahahaha
what do you think of the 550?
It's amazing!
2/23/2017
Paul, for each youtube video, start out with the date, e.g., say "today is 2/22/2017."
Я хочу купить такой самолет. Где его продают?
If I only had an extra few millions I would be flying one of these. Yea lol that's all I can do.
That's good to be rich
if i got money ill buy the vision jet by cirus
guys come on now and be serious.....for 3 million dollars just go ahead and buy the Mustang.....
pdoggy10inch Mustang burns 100 you, eclipse 60 gph, mustang speed 340 knots, eclipse speed 370 knots
LOWS
vision jet is much better and more modern. and safer
Nope 😅
