eclipse

[emmma]

Hi all,

My boss wants to buy an eclipse,
As far as I know it is not certified for commercial operations in Europe, doesn t it?
So he could be be flown only as private, If you know any latest news about that please let me know,

I propose him even the mustang but there is a big price dfference btw the two "toys" and he is more oriented on the ecplise,

what do you think about this VLJ?

thanks a lot for your comments,

Emmanuele.

Hi Emmanuele,

neither the Eclipse nor the Mustang are certified in Europe yet.

This means nobody will be able to operate them until EASA certification is granted.

London Executive Aviation which is the european launch customer for the Mustang plans to operate the type by the end of the year.

No target advertised for the Eclipse, as the company still struggles to get the first A/C off the production line.

the only course of action at the moment is "wait & see".

Cheers

thanks a lot for your info,
do you think Eclipse will get the EASE certificate within the time expected?

Thanks,
Emmanuele

no.

Eclipse is well behind any kind of schedule they previously gave.

Try to pop up at EBACE in Geneva in May or in Cannes on Apr 17th where the 500 will show up.
