The Eclipse Jet: Cockpit Features

Fly Safe, Fly Fast, Fly an Eclipse Jet!

A surprising truth about jets is that they are actually easier and safer to fly than you may have been led to believe. When you step up to a jet, you get better performance and more reliable operation. And with the Total Eclipse, you also get a highly automated flight deck that sets a new standard for reliability and capability—and makes the Total Eclipse the most integrated twin-engine jet flying today.

In the Eclipse Jet, that automation comes from the all new Avio IFMS, the next generation of Total Aircraft Integration. Designed exclusively for Eclipse Aerospace, Avio IFMS utilizes technology never before available in general aviation. The all new, fully integrated Avio flight management system centrally controls aircraft systems including avionics, engine operation, fuel system, flaps, landing gear, cabin pressure, and temperature. Beyond that, it acts as a virtual copilot, providing checklists and advanced navigation and avionics information, improving safety and dramatically reducing pilot workload—especially during single-pilot operation. The most advanced glass cockpit for light jets is finally realized. The development of the Avio IFMS now includes a fully integrated flight management system, geo-referencing charts, and detailed satellite weather overlays on the MFD. This complete integration makes the Eclipse Jet easy to fly, easy to land, easy to command.
