  This course is designed for pilots who wish to learn about Technically Advanced Aircraft (TAA). It provides an excellent springboard for Eclipse owners who need a solid refresher course on basic instrument procedures, or an introduction to the glass cockpit and test prep package. The course covers techniques that will help minimize common mistakes while taking the EA-500 check-ride.

Eclipse owners who have taken this course report they have much greater comfort with thinking at “jet speeds” and admit gaining tremendous insight into national airspace and FARs. It also has the results of adding a type-rating to your certificate with unrestricted airman’s privileges in the MS760, increasing experience, lowering or eliminating mentor-imposed training, and lowering insurance costs for the EA-500.
