That'l be the SF60. One thing the SF60 won't have is any more screens, knobs or levers. Maybe they'll give you a separate lever for the second engine, but even that doesn't really serve any purpose. If the second engine quits, the computer just cages it and you get a pop-up on the G6000 that advises you of the reduced climb rate.

That's called a Mustang... or an M2.... Or HondaJet

So the "captain" has to be the first to abandon ship after a crash?

So you are telling me that complexity wise this:



Is the same as this:



Or if we want to compare to something in the same price range this:

Matt and Florian captured it well. I'm just a lowly SEL, IR pilot within about 1500 hrs.
May get to 3000 hrs in my life time. In my sixties.
I sat in that thing in OSH last year. Easiest cockpit ever to get in to for this 6'3", 250 ish # pilot.
I studied the panel for about 20 minutes. If I knew how to start a jet, I don't, I could easily fly this thing, flight plan etc. Not all that different from my panel.

The jet jockeys poo pooing this thing are looking at it wrong IMO. This isn't some small jet. This is a really easy to operate fast single engine plane. No different than my Bo, or a Cirrus. Same risk factors.
For Nancy and me and the occasional kids or friends, this will cut 30% or more from any flight we take longer than 2 hrs.
Plus I thought no you wouldn't hesitate to pull it out of the hanger for a lunch or dinner hop to somewhere. Many of my friends graduating to bigger, faster, multi planes just disappear from the flying social scene. I think it stops being fun.
In addition the thing looks, feels and smells like my cars. Me like.

I can't afford a new one. But I'll buy a used one when they come up. Or a TBM....
Would have to study up on SID's and remember the 250 knot limit ... Domt deal with that often...

Even less than that. It's a car. And it flies.

Even less than that. It's a car. And it flies.

Yeah! and you need a type rating to ATP standards.
oops..

Even less than that. It's a car. And it flies.

Would you be worried about passing a SF50 type rating?

Lol.

I suspect a number of the position holders have more than that tied up in their car, boat, motorhome.

Would you be worried about passing a SF50 type rating?

Nah, it's only one day. I may never be as good as I once was but I can still be as good, once, as I ever was.

No big deal. Insurance mandates recurrent training every year once you're at a certain hull value anyways.

So you go to Knoxville for a week and get a type rating. After that, it's a car. A car that flies.
I did notice that Cessna provides more cup-holders.

Didn't Eclipse have kind of a proprietary three week initial? Then, expensive approved mentor pilots for those that needed to build hours? What kind of training program here?
