Quick Reference Application Is An Aircraft-Specific Flight
Planning Tool
Eclipse has rolled out an iPad application written specifically
for owners / operators of the Eclipse Twin-Engine Jet. The Eclipse
Quick Reference Application (Eclipse QRA) provides pilots with the
ability to use an iPad as a unique flight-planning tool and for
inflight reference documentation.
The Eclipse QRA includes a weight and balance flight planning
tool, interactive flight checklists, and performance planning
tools. In addition, the Eclipse QRA is capable of providing
digital copies of the Aircraft Flight Manual (AFM) and the Aircraft
Maintenance Manual (AMM), complete with updated downloads of
Temporary Revisions and other pertinent customer
communications.
Eclipse Aerospace, with a commitment to maintaining the most
technologically advanced jet aircraft in general aviation,
continues to deliver critical features that are unavailable from
other aircraft manufacturers. No other aircraft manufacturer has
fully integrated an application to allow pilots to plan all phases
of flight.
"Eclipse Aerospace is excited to provide our customers with the
highest quality aviation tools to allow them to get the most from
their Eclipse Jets,” states Eclipse Aerospace CEO Mason
Holland. “By placing all required information for the
preparation and conduct of a flight in a single, easy to use
solution, we are continuing the focus of Eclipse to reduce pilot
workload, enhance safety, and increase situational awareness in
flight.”
Using the Eclipse QRA’s highly intuitive graphical
interface, pilots can quickly and accurately calculate their
mission. The data can be saved for future use, or for when things
change at the last minute. Extra luggage or additional
passengers are easily updated within the app to adjust calculations
on the fly. The data can also be emailed directly out of the app to
the pilot, dispatcher, or other relevant party.
As the pilot begins their planning, the Eclipse QRA walks them
through critical aspects of their mission: Weight and Balance, Fuel
Planning, and Performance (Takeoff, Cruise, and Landing). It
provides full checklist and Quick Reference Handbook (QRH)
functionality, allowing pilots to work their way through all
checklists with easy to track completion reminders.
The Eclipse QRA full feature set includes:
- Checklists
- Weight & Balance
- Fuel Planning
- Performance Lookup (Takeoff, Cruise, Landing)
- Emergency Procedures
- Aircraft Manuals
- Aircraft Maintenance Manuals (AMM)
The Eclipse QRA, including pre-flight planning, flight
calculators, electronic AFM and checklists is a free service for
Eclipse Customers. The Eclipse QRA is made available exclusively
for qualified Eclipse Jet Owners and Eclipse Jet type-rated pilots
by emailing qra@eclipse.aero.
