Eclipse has been working very closely with the Brazilian
Agência Nacional de Aviação Civil (ANAC) since
April 2011 to validate the FAA Eclipse Jet Type Certificate.
“We have enjoyed our technical co-operation between our team
of specialists and the those at the ANAC,” states Ken Ross,
President of Global Services at Eclipse Aerospace. “We have
received overwhelming support and excitement from the Brazilian
Aviation community.”
“We have enjoyed the opportunity to work with Eclipse
Aerospace team and we are looking forward to welcoming the
operations of the Eclipse Jet in Brazil,” stated Edilson
Manacero, ANAC Airworthiness Project Manager.
Eclipse Aerospace currently offers the Total Eclipse Twin-Engine
Jet configured with the all-new Avio Integrated Flight Management
System (IFMS) and certified for flight into known icing (FIKI). The
Total Eclipse Jet also comes complete with a
“tip-to-tail” factory warranty, new paint, and a new
interior. Traveling at speeds in excess of 430 MPH (375 ktas) at
altitudes up to 41,000 feet, this light jet consumes only 60
gallons of fuel an hour in cruise.
The Total Eclipse is on display all week at LABACE through the
Brazilian distributor AirStream Aviation, and demo flights are
available.
