Learn to Fly the Total Eclipse

Eclipse Aerospace is dedicated to training professional aviators—for life

An aviator is a flight manager with the skills and knowledge to operate an aircraft safely in all conditions from origin to destination.

Professional Aviator: "It’s not a paycheck; it’s an attitude"

Eclipse Aviation designed a comprehensive training program for the Eclipse 500 that established pilot training requirements beyond the minimum requirements to pass the type rating practical test. Both the airplane and the training program were indeed special. Eclipse Aerospace has continued with this philosophy. The bottom line is safety. And safety is never easy. The 3 keys to safety are knowledge, proficiency, and attitude. The Eclipse training program strives to nurture a professional attitude as it brings each customer to the knowledge and proficiency level necessary to exceed—not just meet—the standards required of a type rated Eclipse pilot.

Eclipse feels so strongly about quality training that it makes its FAA-approved Eclipse Aerospace training program a requirement for anyone intending to operate the Eclipse 500. Any other training provider for the Eclipse 500 must model EAI’s program and prove that it is equivalent in order to receive approval from the FAA.
