Aerobask's Eclipse 550 NG
Posted: Tue Apr 04, 2017 9:23 pm
The Eclipse 550 NG from Aerobask came out today. It's a pretty amazing bird. 365 KTAS cruise at FL290 with a 75-knot approach speed and docile handling similar to a single engine Cessna. Plus, it has a very advanced dual Skyview/GTN750 glass cockpit. The Skyview is so good it almost (but not quite) eliminated my need for Foreflight.
I flew the Eclipse on PE today KOAK-KSNA and it was a blast. Others are also flying it - I think I heard the controller working about 3 Eclipses at the same time I was on.
