## Eclipse Is Changing the Value Proposition for Private Jet Travel

**For 3+ decades aircraft manufacturers have been stuck on the same value curve**
**Improve the product and charge more**
**Eclipse is moving the value curve to the right**
**Performance equal to or better than current jets**
**Technology and capability normally found in jets costing many millions more**
**Price 1⁄3 cost of current entry-level jets**
**Operating costs 1⁄2 current entry-level jets **
**Designed for airline like high hours/high cycle  operations with equal reliability/dispatchability**
**Which leads to market expansion and creation**
**Expanding private jet travel to a broader segment of the population**
**Creating new markets via the new value proposition**

## Key Enablers for the Eclipse 500

**Highly integrated avionics and systems**

**Modern turbine technology**

**Innovative manufacturing technology and practices**

**Notes:**
I’m sure before you even came here today, you had read about the key technologies in our aircraft, but it bears repeating because they really are the pillars on which everything else is built.  But I’ll also add a fourth pillar, which is our reliance on world-class business practices.

Let’s talk a little more about that.

## Cruise speed	370 kt
Stall speed	69 kt
Range		1,125 nm		w/pilot, 3 pax NBAA IFR 
Useful load	2,400 pounds

## JetComplete by Operator Segment

**Jet****Complete****TM**

**Jet****Complete****TM**
**Business**

**A JetComplete program is available for all Eclipse operators**

**Owner-Pilots**

**Corporate Flight Departments**
**Part 135 Operators**
**Managed Aircraft Operations**

**Notes:**
JetComplete is currently a U.S. 48 states only offering. Expect to see versions for other countries beginning in 2007 when expected deliveries of Eclipse 500 aircraft begin to those countries. If asked, Eclipse has custom JetComplete programs for large fleet operators and will have products for operators that wish to use a third party to manage their Eclipse 500. JetComplete is an excellent way to manage aircraft that are flown for both Part 91 and Part 135 missions.

## Customer Training Overview

- © May 2006 Eclipse Aviation

**Flight Operations and Pilot Training Program**
**Version 1.0**

## Why Albuquerque

**Until simulators on line at United Airlines Training Center, Eclipse will conduct training the aircraft (owners’ aircraft)**

## Type Rating

**Aircraft/Type Rating to be conducted by Eclipse Aviation**
**Expect there will be a need to train in the aircraft through much of 2007**

## Student Entrance

**Flight Training Facility located in the 7 Bar Aviation FBO.**
- Eclipse Aviation leases topside spaces for pilot training
- Ramp area west of 7 Bar hangar to be used for “owner aircraft” parking

## Jet Familiarization

**Training Syllabus**
**Flight Skills Assessment conducted by United Airlines**
**Customer completes jet familiarization ground training at UAL**
**Two simulator rides to evaluate customer’s ability to successfully complete training of the Eclipse 500**

## Emergency Procedures Training

**Emergency/Upset training provided initially to orient/adapt customer to jet environment**
**Includes 1 1⁄2 days of environmental and “upset” classroom training**
**Reduced Oxygen Breathing Device used for hypoxia demonstration**
**Two flights in L-39:  First flight, intro to aerobatics: Second flight, upset recovery training**

## Schedule

**In aircraft training syllabus involves seven flights**
- First three flights introduce customers to aircraft characteristics and performance
- Instrument training introduced on second flight
- Flights 4, 5 & 6 are cross country profiles that introduce the customer to emergencies and “decision making”
- Instrument training will continue with each of the “profile” flights
- Flight 7 will be the “type ride prep:

## Our Mission

**To Train Competent Professionally minded **
**Aviators for life.**

## Airspace and User Fees

**Failure to follow the NGATS Congressional mandate will be detrimental to our air traffic system, the FAA, the DoD, the economy, and our nation in general.**
**	****Neil Planzer, Vice President-Strategy, Advanced Air Traffic Management, The Boeing Company**
**	**_**Journal of Air Traffic Control, January- March, 2006**_

## Airspace and User Fees

**Those hoping to build a case for general aviation user fees based upon a claim that VLJs will cause congestion at hub airports misunderstand the reason travelers will utilize these aircraft.**
**	**
**	****Neil Planzer, Vice President-Strategy, Advanced Air Traffic Management, The Boeing Company **
**	**_**Journal of Air Traffic Control, January-March, 2006**_

## Airspace & User Fees

**VLJ Operations in hub airspace will not cause congestion due to advanced integrated avionics/enhanced situational awareness, training, and VLJ ops at speeds compatible to air carriers’ throughout the terminal area.**
**	****Neil Planzer, Vice President-Strategy, Advanced Air Traffic Management, The Boeing Company**
**	**_**Journal of Air Traffic Control, January- March, 2006**_

## Airspace and User Fees

**The on-going debate on VLJ speed compatibility is a red herring. Air carrier and business aircraft operate at a variety of climb, cruise, descent and approach speeds.  Even today’s 1950’s technology can integrate traffic of varying speeds.**
**	****Neil Planzer, Vice President-Strategy, Advanced Air Traffic Management, The Boeing Company**
**	**_**Journal of Air Traffic Control, January-March, 2006**_

## Airspace and User Fees

**A joint FAA & NASA ATC procedures research project, utilizing NGATS technology in simulated SATS**
**	****operations in Philadelphia and Washington DC airspace illustrated that FAA controllers viewed these procedures favorably.**
**	**_**Air Traffic Control Feasibility Assessment of SATS Higher Volume Operations, May, 2005**_

## Airspace and User Fees

**Putting aside the Congressional mandate to create and implement NGATS to move our ATC system out of the 1950s, the estimated annual economic impact of VLJ operations of $12 to $24 billion merits some consideration.**
**	**_**Investigation of SATS Economic Impacts, Virginia SATS Alliance, December 30, 2004.**_

## Airspace and User Fees

**The airlines argue that all jets should pay similar fees for ATC services.  Ed Bolen, President of NBAA, ****contends**** that GA jets use smaller airports and avoid the most-congested routes. The airlines’ argument is like a dinner with a big group, where those who buy the most expensive dinner insist on splitting the bill equally.**
