One of my business partners has serial number 001 of the eclipse 500. Also is the highest time of any eclipse ever flown. They're awesome airplanes

What an awesome experience 👍Thanks for sharing Matt😀

WOW...another Bert Rutan based creation......I am a Cessna Citation guy......nice to see you adding so many aircraft to your "planes I have flown"...look'n good there Matt........Cheers !!!

Great video. I have time in the Eclipse and it's a great plane. Underrated for sure. And yes the captain is this video was awesome, great explanation of the system. IS&S system isn't for everyone, but it works nice for this plane.

Nice piece of kit and nicely handled. Thanks for a great video experience.

Oh man I sure hope he's CFI and you logged that time!! Well I guess you can log it anyway being you fly a jet already, but man what a fun flight!! Storms are SO scary!

Fantastic, thanks guys.

Love the Eclipse jet! Great video, a lot of good piloty stuff!

Thanks for sharing. Bit warmer than standard @ FL350. Nice flight 😊

Amazing little scooter. A Bonanza with jet engines. For sure! lol

My dream jet, fast, efficient, fun to fly.

Very nice and informative, thank you.

Anti-lock brakes! What a revolution!

Good vid, thanks for the demo.✈️🚁

Mark is a good guy. Glad you got to fly Echo alpha. He has had it for a while now.

12:00 I was very distracted by Hakuna Matata, jasmine, jafar, and piglet

Jets are a different world. 450 pph at FL300 is 67 gph? For a jet it's great, but for a piston pilot it's like someone knocked a hole in the fuel tank and the fuel is just pouring out. However, it's still my favorite small jet, so much better than a Cirrus VisionJet.

Geez, Matt!! How the heck do you get to fly all these cool airplanes?

You may also like the Cirrus Vision Jet if you have never flown one. A lot of fun for such a small jet ! I am a Cessna Citation fan, but have come to like the Beechcraft Premier 1A and the Bombardier G7500. I'm not picky either when it comes to flight decks. A Collins Pro 21 or a Garmin G3k are my preferred decks though.

The cirrus vision especially the improved G2 model is an AMAZING aircraft with more tech than some much bigger private jets that are 3x the money or more. The ballistic parachute system and fully automated landing system are just two things in that amazing plane and one of the first aircraft to come standard with the garmin 3000 avionics package. Also if you like the premier 1/1A jets which I also do then check out premier1drivers KZread channel he has dozens of videos in his premier 1 Beechcraft flying all over the US and they are all recent within the past few years. Amazing channel and pilot imo!

Its so cool when I can see my home airport and A&P school at KISM on a popular youtube channel!

I followed the development of the Eclipse back in the mid-1990's. Awesome jet. It's a shame that the developers abandoned the company after producing only a few. It's ahead of its time and should be produced again.

Just the ambient sound of this aircraft is futuristic. Damn, I wish I had a solid reason to purchase one (the money would be nice too...).

Flew in a buddies down in Santiago Chile and it was awesome. We flew south and landed at an uncontrolled airfield next to a volcano.

Great landing.

Great flying Matt. 👍

Thanks for this

Would have liked a walk-around of the outside of plane and a pan view of interior while empty. Details of readouts was very well done. Pilot's knees up on panel is worse than commercial passenger experience in a cramped 737! I enjoy all your videos.

Awesome! Thanks for posting.

best video yet. viewers feel we’re there

man you get to do all the cool things. Very nice plane

Enjoyed this one Matt

Crazy cool! Looks a little cramped lol

Thumbs up 👍 thank you for sharing this!

So very cool! 😎✈️👍

Cool

Are you considering an Eclipse? if its mileage is as good or better than a Baron 58 it's pretty good considering the speed and size. It's a very different experience. It doesn't have a lavatory but neither does a baron or bonanza. It's pretty cool. But I see the prices are still high. They cost significantly more than they cost new 15 years ago. Which is disappointing. Million seems like minimum price. I guess people like them.

The Eclipse 500 is a pretty impressive jet, how does it compare in size and performance to a Beechcraft Premier?

Hakuna Matata, Jazmine, Jafar, Piglet.........nice routing

I live near Valdosta, ga

Pretty cool when you figure it goes 400mph at 6mpg, a Baron goes 200mph at about 8mpg, a Cessna 210 about 180mph at 10mpg, and a 501 Citation about 360mph at 1mpg.

When was this flight?

I wonder the difference (other than price) of the 550.

We need this airplane for Microsoft Flight Sim.

The Mazda Miata of jets.

Great video - Question, does a video camera/Go Pro in the middle of the windscreen limit or interfere with vision especially for the operating pilot who is landing the aircraft?

At 01:39...did the controller tell the guys TO EAT SHIT???

@UnusualPilot

Жыл бұрын

it sounds like to me one plane was leaving a controlled frequency and going to descend into the pattern of another airport, and no longer has/Needs flight following, so the controller handed him off to the Unicom frequency of that airport, and probably told him to squawk 1200 VFR however, as a common courtesy, sometimes the controllers will tell you about the traffic in the pattern at the untowerd airport you’re about to come into

Absolutely beautiful little jet! I’m kinda confused because the cirrus vision jet has to be smaller than that and is also a certified jet so how is that one the smallest? Very cool aircraft btw! Just thought the sj50 would be the smallest or atleast smaller than that on the list. I’m guessing the vision is considered more in the personal jet category than private? If someone knows that answer please lmk! Also I love the panel set up on that! Very cool video Matt as usual!

@@nickpapagiorgio5056 yes great airplanes. They where ahead of it’s time, when they came out. And their marketing had some issues that made it heavy to trust in the whole program. Those mistakes led to fail also. Of course you are right. At the wrong time starting a great awesome jet. Totally underrated and misunderstood by this time. I guess the target group of pilots where also afraid of the modern complex glass cockpit by then. Today we can see, how actual and modern and right this plane was back then. Still today a very interesting jet for reasonable low money, compared to what you get.
