“The FAA's designation of Eclipse Aviation as an ODAR is a testament to our excellent quality system and the high level of experience of our team,” said Vern Raburn, president and CEO of Eclipse Aviation. “This designation has been achieved so early through our very close working relationship with the FAA.”
The ODAR designation authorizes Eclipse Aviation to train, nominate and manage its own designated airworthiness representatives (DAR). Among other things, a DAR is responsible for making determinations of conformity and airworthiness for aircraft, engines and their parts on behalf of the FAA.
This designation will help provide Eclipse Aviation with the agility to meet its high-volume production goals while maintaining the highest level of quality standards.
Eclipse Aviation is in the business of designing, certifying and producing modern, affordable jet aircraft that will revolutionize the transportation market. The company is applying advanced electronics systems, manufacturing and business practices to produce aircraft that cost less than a quarter of today's small jet aircraft, will be significantly safer and easier to operate than those of today, and have the lowest cost of ownership ever achieved in a jet aircraft.
The goal of Eclipse is to bring the word "personal" into aviation, making it possible for commercial air passengers to move directly between cities on a quick, affordable and convenient basis. It will also allow pilot owners to enter the world of jet-powered aviation.
