Differences Training

Eclipse Aerospace, Inc. (EAI) FIKI / Avio NG 1.5 Differences Training is required for those pilots intending to fly as PIC in Eclipse 500 aircraft that have been modified by Service Bulletin 500-99-05, NG 1.5 and Autopilot Version 2; and Service Bulletin 500-99-04, Flight Into Known Icing (FIKI).

Pre-Training
The only requisite for this training is that the pilot has a basic working knowledge of the Garmin 400 Series GPS system. For those not familiar with Garmin, a good source of information can be found on Garmin's website. Downloadable “freebies” can be found there, including a Garmin 400 simulator, training video, and lesson plans.

Differences Course
This 2-day course is organized into three components: classroom training, cockpit procedures training, and flight training. Ground training will describe and explain the systems that are new to the FIKI / Avio NG 1.5 pilot. Cockpit procedures training (CPT) will provide demonstration and practice on new systems and their operation. Finally, the flight training component will allow the pilot to first practice flight operations with new systems, and then demonstrate proficiency to ATP standards.
