Flying the Eclipse 500™.

Preflight.

As your virtual copilot, Avio NG goes to work as soon as power is applied to the Eclipse 500 jet, bringing all aircraft systems to life and confirming normal operation. Avio NG prompts electronic checklists and walks the pilot through FMS entry, and calculates weight and balance, and performance.  Avio NG even bugs the airspeed indicator and N1 engine settings for takeoff. When the cabin door closes, Avio NG verifies that the cabin is sealed and begins to automatically adjust independent cabin and cockpit zone temperatures, and prepares the pressurization schedule for the mission ahead. A copilot that does exactly what needs to be done, without needing to be told. That’s Avio NG. That’s Total Aircraft Integration™.

Takeoff/Climb.

Even before your wheels leave the ground, Avio NG is your second set of eyes, ensuring proper aircraft flap and landing gear configuration, and systems setup for takeoff. As you push the thrust levers forward to takeoff power, Avio NG manages the redundant FADECs to guarantee maximum safe thrust from the PW610F turbofan engines. You engage the gear handle and flaps; Avio NG communicates to the landing gear and flap actuators, commanding the gear and flaps to retract.  Avio NG then monitors their respective positions throughout the entire sequence. And as you point the nose above the horizon, Avio NG automatically maintains a comfortable temperature and cabin pressure all the way up to 41,000 feet.

Approach.

An approach to landing in a high-performance jet can be demanding. In an Eclipse 500, Avio NG helps simplify this critical stage by maintaining approach speed with autothrottle, slowly bringing cabin pressure down, and automatically keeping fuel balanced between the tanks. If icing conditions exist, the flick of one switch tells Avio NG to continuously cycle the de-ice boots and heat the engine inlets. As you approach the field, Avio NG verifies that landing gear is down and locked and flaps are set. Landing check complete—Avio NG has cleared you for landing.
