Eclipse dealers representing the United States and over 30 different countries were on hand as the management team and Board of Directors for Eclipse Aerospace all signed the fuselage of the first production aircraft, Serial Number 1001. The ceremony continued with the Eclipse production team officially mating the forward keel assembly to the fuselage. Now armed with an established supply chain, a new FAA production certificate, and a certified airframe, Eclipse is officially back in production with deliveries beginning in 2013. Eclipse plans initial low-volume production with the first aircraft taking approximately 12 months to complete as the balance of the production line is re-tooled and validated during the process. Full production for an estimated 50 to 100 aircraft per year is expected in 2014, paced by market demand. Mason Holland, CEO & Chairman of Eclipse Aerospace commented, “New production of the Eclipse Jet, that was the ultimate goal of EAI when we started this process two and a half short years ago. The excellent team at Eclipse Aerospace along with our strong supply chain partners have brought us back into the production market. I am simply humbled by everyone’s efforts!” In addition to the new production announcement, Eclipse also announced the official roll out of the Eclipse International Dealer organization. Eclipse Dealers from around the world representing over 30 countries attended and signed agreements for the purchase of new Eclipse 550 Jets slated for delivery in 2014 and early 2015. The new model Eclipse 550 twin-engine jet is built upon the same excellent and well tested Eclipse 500, but will deliver with the next evolution of aircraft systems for general aviation jets which will include auto-throttles, synthetic vision, enhanced vision, and a redundant flight management system.

AIN 2017 New Jets
Aerion AS2 New Jets 2017 New models will be ready when market rebounds by Mark Huber The glut of recently used aluminum appears to be clearing out, and that’s good news for sales of new jets, in the sense that things aren’t going to get demonstrably worse. According to Rollie Vincent of JetNet iQ, “If you look at used airplanes that are five years old or newer www.ainonline.com there’s virtually nothing left on the market. That cleanup has largely happened in the last 12 to 18 months, especially to the extent that it has taken away from new aircraft sales. The buyers are companies that normally would have bought new but could not pass up the value of a pre-owned.” The available used business jet inventory for sale at the end of the sum- mer was 7 percent lower year-over-year and represented 10.3 percent of the installed base, the lowest since before the financial crisis, according to data from UBS Global Research. Nick Popovich of Sage-Popovich concurs. “This market is going to tighten pretty soon.” While optimistic, Alex Overstrom, head of PNC Aviation Finance, said that OEMs are still “in a tough spot, as used aircraft price declines have made new aircraft less com- petitive with pre-owned. That said, we are still financing a decent number of new aircraft, particularly with large corporate clients, who are often leasing. I expect that the used © 2017 AIN Publications.

THE ECLIPSE 550 TWIN-ENGINE JET: ELEGANT. EFFICIENT. FUN TO FLY. The Eclipse 550, the new production twin-engine jet from Eclipse Aerospace, features best in class performance, economics, and safety. With the ability to ﬂy at altitudes up to 41,000 feet at a max cruise of 430 mph, all while consuming a mere 59 gallons of fuel per hour, the Eclipse 550 is the most eﬃcient twin-engine jet on the planet. When you add to that safety features such as Auto Throttles, Anti-Skid Brakes, Synthetic Vision, and Enhanced Vision, you begin to understand that the Eclipse 550 will truly change the way the world looks at general aviation jet aircraft. www.ECLIPSE.aero www.ECLIPSE.aero A NOTE FROM 41,000 FEET Dear Eclipse Enthusiast: As you know, private aviation is more than just moving a team of people from point to point. It is about saving time and money, creating more hours in the day during which your team can perform. A private aircraft is a business tool that allows your company to get more done in less time. It is about efficiency. There are many aircraft to choose from, but there is only one that is defined by its efficiency: the Eclipse 550 twin-engine jet. In a joint study conducted by GAMA and NBAA, it was reported that 70% of all general aviation flights were less than 750 nautical miles and carried three or fewer passengers. This typical mission fits the Eclipse Jet perfectly. When you fly privately, why burn an excessive amount of fuel to fly with empty seats? Why not fit the tool that you use to the job at hand? We invite you to consider the Eclipse 550 as your personal jet aircraft.

BUSINESS Ciency and Higher Speed Than Competing Models
Honda HA-420 HondaJet Honda expects to receive certification of its $4.5 million light twin late this year. The HA-420 will have a range of 1,180 nm, a maximum speed of 420 knots, an initial climb rate of 4,000 fpm and a max- imum altitude of 43,000 feet. Honda claims the aircraft has greater fuel effi- BUSINESS ciency and higher speed than competing models. The four- to six-passenger jet will be certified for single-pilot operation. The HondaJet uses a carbon-fiber composite fuselage mated to metal wings. That, cou- pled with the unique positioning of the engines on over-the-wing pylons, reduces drag and creates a larger cabin volume JETS with generous passenger legroom and less by Mark Huber vibration.

Existing Runway 10L/28R Configuration Montgomery‐Gibbs Executive Airport (MYF) consists of three runways, two of which are parallel. Runway 10L/28R is MYF’s longest runway, at 4,577 feet. Figure 1 displays the lengths available for aircraft operations on Runway 10L/28R. Figure 1. Existing Runway 10L/28R Available Operational Lengths 4,577’ 3,401’ 1,176’ Source: Atkins analysis, 2018 Declared Distances Currently, the full runway length for 10L/28R is 4,577 feet, represented by the blue line in Figure 1. The Runway 28R threshold is displaced by 1,176 feet, represented by the white line in Figure 1. Runway 28R has a Landing Distance Available (LDA) of 3,401 feet, represented by the red line in Figure 1 (4,577 feet – 1,176 feet = 3,401 feet). The displaced threshold only applies to aircraft landing on Runway 28R.
