VLJ
I received some observations concerning the ECLIPSE 500;
1) - NO KNOWN ICE APPROVAL
2)-Only yje ECLIPSE factory seem to have RVSM approval
3)-ILS not coupled to AUTOPILOT
4)-NO mechanical back-up for altimeter or engine instruments
5)-WINDSHIELDS-FRONT 100 hrs inspection SIDE WINDOW 300 hrs inspection
6)- NO ANTI LOCK BRAKES
7)-FADEC controls feed off the main electric bus. If there is anelectrical failure the voltage will fall below operating limits within 30 minutes and the throttles will fail in the "last set position" because there is no mechanical connection to fuel controllers.
8)-SINGLE SOURCE NAV-GPS, if GPS , magnetometer or AHRS fail the aircraft goes to reversionary mode. VOR/NDB can be tuned manually but moving map goes US. if AHRS fail last known position deteriorates rapidly.
Maybe are this musconceptions who need CLARIFICATION
Thus OBSERVATIONS are intendet to obtain a SAFE VLJ
ANY COMMENTS or CLARIFICATION is welcom ???
