  • Page 8: Single Pilot Resource Management And Operations

    2. SINGLE PILOT RESOURCE MANAGEMENT AND OPERATIONS The Eclipse 500 pilot must employ higher order piloting skills to safely operate the aircraft through its full range of capabilities. In addition to physical and motor skills associated with normal and abnormal operations, pilots must be competent in risk management and single pilot resource management (SRM) procedures.

  • Page 9: Risk Management Tools

    Eclipse Aviation has developed a risk management tool (Figure 1 on pg. 9) for Eclipse 500 pilots to use in identifying, assessing and mitigating risk. The tool is accompanied by a risk assessment matrix developed by the FAA to classify risk severity and likelihood to arrive at an overall level of risk for each risk factor identified.

  • Page 12: Resource Management

    SRM also balances two important elements: workload drivers and pilot resources available. The Eclipse 500 pilot’s task is to use SRM techniques and procedures to ensure that resources always exceed the work load imposed on the pilot. Automation Management...
  • Page 13 PFD / MFD Management Apart from the flight controls, the primary interfaces between the pilot and the Eclipse 500 are the airplane computer systems. The primary flight display and the multi-function displays provide capacities for display and functionality that do not exist in older airplanes.

  • Page 14: Task Management

    6. Be aware of too much heads-down time. Task Management Although the Eclipse 500 provides the pilot with advanced technology important for effective SRM, the pilot will also find that the use of effective procedures will lower workload and assist with task management.
  • Page 15 The Eclipse 500 pilot will find work load drivers (weather, ATC, automation, etc.) easier to manage if proper SRM procedures are used. These procedures include a number of techniques, including: 1. Using an orderly cockpit flow to accomplish key tasks, using the normal checklist to verify accomplishment, rather than as a “do...

  • Page 20: Available Resources

    Available Resources Managing work load drivers is the more reactive part of task management. The Eclipse 500 pilot will find that SRM will be more effective by proactively managing all available resources. The major resources to be managed and used in preflight planning and while...
  • Page 21 MFD is especially useful in maintaining SA for aircraft status, weather, terrain, traffic, airspace, and route. For some Eclipse 500 pilots, this may be the first turbine powered aircraft they have operated. Accordingly, maintaining SA of fuel status is a crucial element of SRM.
  • Page 22 17. Autopilot: • Use the autopilot when other operational tasks could distract from positive airplane control and for precise navigation. • Use the flight director as desired for precise manual airplane control and to monitor autopilot performance. • When flying manually using the flight director, keep it zeroed or turn it off.

    himself/herself on what will come next. As a solo jet pilot, you must develop a philosophy/mindset of “staying ahead of the jet”. As an old aviation adage says: “Never let your aircraft arrive anywhere that your brain hasn’t arrived ten minutes earlier”.

  • Page 53: Taxi

    “progressive taxi” from ATC if there are any doubts as to your clearance or route. Always be aware of turning room available versus turning room required. With optimum technique (asymmetric power and brakes), the Eclipse 500 requires approximately 27 feet to make a 180 degree turn. It would be prudent to have significantly more room than this before making such a maneuver.

  • Page 56: Traffic Pattern Ops (Closed Patterns)

    Flaps UP takeoff A takeoff with flaps UP may be desired if single engine climb performance with flaps TO is determined to be marginal or negative and single engine climb performance for flaps UP is acceptable. In this case, consider the longer runway required versus runway available.

  • Page 57: Cruise

    Minimize any non-aircraft related conversations with passengers while below 10,000’ AGL. Cruise Generally, a jet aircraft is most efficient at its highest altitude. The Eclipse 500 is capable of a maximum of FL 410. However, there are many considerations regarding selecting a cruise altitude.

  • Page 58: Descent

    It is always possible that another aircraft may have an emergency and requires ATC priority handling and delay is unavoidable. For the Eclipse 500, declare minimum fuel if it is determined any time during the flight that you will land with less than 350 pounds.

  • Page 59: Approach

    Eclipse 500 is 1500 to 1800 fpm for the standard 3° descent profile. To fly the standard Eclipse 500 descent profile: maintain cruise N1 setting and adjust pitch to maintain your computed rate of descent. As indicated airspeed increases, adjust N1 to maintain 250 KEAS.
  • Page 60 possible. The minimum altitudes for the autopilot on approach are 400’ AGL for a precision approach and 400’ AGL for a non-precision approach. Stabilized approach Criteria Part of every safe arrival and approach plan is to position and configure the aircraft in order to fly a “stabilized approach”.
  • Page 61 The Eclipse 500 is an Aircraft Category B airplane due to its approach speeds being between 91 and 120 knots. If flying an approach at a higher airspeed than 120 knots for any reason (circling, no flap), use Category C minima.

  • Page 66: Missed Approach / Rejected Landing

    Missed approach / rejected landing A rejected landing or missed approach is required if any one of the conditions defining a stabilized approach is not met. Additionally, a missed approach must be executed if the required conditions of 91.175 are not met and maintained. Lastly, a missed approach or rejected landing should be made if a safe landing is in doubt, for any reason.

  • Page 68: Holding

    Holding is usually an unplanned event, although it may be an expected possibility based on weather, traffic and other factors. Fuel conservation during holding may be critical. The most fuel efficient holding airspeed for the Eclipse 500 is approximately Vref + 30 knots. Holding will be with flaps UP.
  • Page 69 If there is doubt, the pilot should accomplish a full stop landing. The minimum runway length used for touch & goes will be 6,000’ (7,000’ if temperature is above 30° C). 12/8/2006 FLIGHT TRAINING AND STANDARDS MANUAL ECLIPSE 500 © Eclipse Aviation Corporation, 2006...

  • Page 70: Abnormal Operations

    4. ABNORMAL OPERATIONS Emergency management It is critical to have a coherent philosophy in how to deal with an abnormal situation or emergency. There are 3 principal steps you must follow in any and all abnormal situations: 1. Maintain aircraft control 2.

  • Page 71: Rejected Takeoff

    This decision should be thoroughly self-briefed for any potential circumstances prior to setting takeoff power. For the Eclipse 500, any abnormal prior to Vr should be reason to reject the takeoff. For any abnormal after Vr, the pilot must consider the severity of the abnormal and the runway remaining.
  • Page 72 Takeoff Before every takeoff, the pilot should plan for an engine failure in the context of existing takeoff conditions. The most critical point for an engine failure is the takeoff and departure. Preflight planning must consider this possibility. If an engine fails on takeoff, the choices are to abort or continue.
  • Page 73 Before simulating an engine failure after takeoff, give careful thought to all factors that may affect a safe outcome (e.g., terrain, density altitude, landing options, traffic etc.). 12/8/2006 FLIGHT TRAINING AND STANDARDS MANUAL ECLIPSE 500 © Eclipse Aviation Corporation, 2006...

You can also choose to maintain the current configuration and continue with flaps TO, but your speed will be Vref+10 and landing distance will increase. See diagrams for single engine precision and non-precision approach profiles. The pilot should always consider coordinating with ATC alternate missed approach instructions of a runway heading climb if the published missed approach procedure cannot be safely flown single engine.

    Landing Landing with a single engine does not require any special technique. The only difference might be a higher airspeed over the threshold due to higher approach speed. Consider this and allow for a longer landing distance. Landing with flap malfunctions A flap malfunction may result in landing with flaps other than LDG.
