Prerequisites for Initial Type Rating Trainingīefore a pilot can begin Norton Aviation’s Eclipse Initial Type Rating Training Program, the pilot must hold a minimum of a Private Pilot certificate single engine airplane with instrument rating or foreign license equivalent. Our program is designed to provide one-on-one personal training by professional aviators instructing each pilot at their own pace, at their location, and on their own schedule. Our comprehensive FAA (and Insurance) approved Eclipse training programs offer every pilot, from private to professional, a thorough understanding of the Eclipse 500/550 with real-world safe flying practices. The program consists of prerequisites, type rating, upset recovery, mentoring and recurrent training.

Norton Aviation’s training program meets these requirements by offering a building block approach that takes advantage of self-paced at-home and on-line studying plus flight training that can be accomplished in your aircraft at your home base and on your time schedule. This AFM limitation mandates specific pilot training requirements that must be accomplished in order to operate the Eclipse 500/550 as Pilot-In-Command (PIC).
ECLIPSE JET MANUAL
The Eclipse 500/550 Initial Type Rating Training is unique in that it is governed by the FAA through an operating limitation in the Airplane Flight Manual (AFM). The program is approved for all versions of the Eclipse from AVIO 1.0 to IFMS 2.7.
