5. FLIGHT TRAINING OPERATIONS

Introduction

The following section is a quick reference guide to descriptions and explanations of
Eclipse 500 flight training maneuvers. The pilot will be expected to perform these
maneuvers during the course of initial and recurrent flight training.
These training maneuvers are designed to give the pilot the skills required in all
operations of the aircraft and to become familiar with its basic handling qualities.
During aircraft training, the flight instructor is the pilot in command. The question of who
is flying the airplane must never be in doubt. If it becomes necessary for the instructor to
assume control of the airplane for any reason, he or she will say, "I have the Flight
Controls" and shake the control stick. Once the pilot feels the instructor on the controls
and hears the instructor's command, the pilot must release the controls immediately and
without question by stating "You have the Flight Controls". When it comes time the
instructor will give control of the aircraft back to the pilot, he or she will say, "You have
the Flight Controls" but will not relinquish control until the instructor feels the pilot shake

Pitch and Power Familiarization

Early during Eclipse 500 flight training, the pilot should be introduced to the concept and
benefits of flying with target pitch attitudes and thrust settings (pitch & power) for
common configurations.
The table below provides the pilot with initial parameters that should only be used as a
baseline to maintain airspeed and flight path in a given configuration. These pitch and
power targets are not meant to be memorized, and they do not replace basic attitude
instrument flying. They simply serve as a guide for a new pilot in the Eclipse 500.
