But very few know the definition of a “great landing.” It’s one after which you can use the airplane another time. The Eclipse Jet Owners and Pilot Association convention on Amelia Island was a great one as the “landing video” demonstrates! I sure hope everyone has seen this by now. The opportunities to learn were endless as we heard about the eclipse jet market reports, the claims process should you have to file one, the eclipse weather radar system (avoidance not penetration as Erik Eliel pointed out) as well as managing task saturation. The safety lessons each speaker presented were invaluable as safety is always of the upmost im- portance in flying any aircraft and certainly, we took many lessons from all of the presenters on Amelia Island.
