  1. The Vision Takes FlightThe Cessna Citation Mustang Mike McGreevy Regional Sales Director April 2007

  2. Investing In Technology

  3. Technology Enablers for the Eclipse 500 Modern turbine technology Innovative manufacturing technology and practices Highly integrated avionics and systems

  4. Modern Turbine TechnologyPratt & Whitney Canada PW610F • PW600 engine family is the leader in the very light jet (VLJ) segment • P&WC corporate strategy is to invest heavily in capturing this new category • PW610F (900 lbf) for Eclipse 500 • PW615F (1,350 lbf) for Cessna Mustang • PW617F (1,500 lbf) for Embraer Phenom 100 • PW610F key features • Dual-channel FADEC – total automatic control • APR OEI rated • Initial maintenance – 1,750 hours HSI, 3,500 hour TBO • Easy and quick maintenance • HSI on pylon • 1 ½ hour engine change

  5. Total Aircraft Integration – more than just an integrated cockpit Avio NG expands integration beyond the cockpit and applies it to the entire aircraft Centralized control of all aircraft systems including engines, fuel, flaps, pressurization, brake fluid levels, etc. Leverages the reduced costs of digital technology Avionics functionality comparable to modern commercial airliners Total Aircraft Integration made possible through: All electric aircraft Advanced power distribution system Integral, redundant computer system Total Aircraft Integration

  6. Benefits • Significantly improve safety • Reduce single-pilot workload • Avio as a virtual co-pilot • Take full advantage of automation while always keeping pilot in-the-loop • Only present useful information that the pilot can use to make a decision. • Designed for real world operation • Understand the realities of how pilots will operate the Eclipse 500

  8. Avio NG as Your Virtual CopilotCrew Alert System CAS Message Window CAS Control Knob

  9. Avio NG as Your Virtual CopilotCrew Alert System • Each CAS messages is linked to “smart checklists” • Memory items are easier to “remember” • Presents pilot with big picture of the issue

  10. Display only Useful InformationEnvironmental System • Highly complex system • Multiple valve positions • Full of data • First attempt at synoptic page

  11. Display only Useful InformationEnvironmental System • Highly complex system, simplified

  12. Designed for Real World Operation • Avio NG is designed based on what pilots actually do, not what they are supposed to do • Increase awareness every flight • Reduce human error • Performance Management • Who does it all, every single flight? • Who gets it right, every single flight?

  13. Designed for Real World OperationElectronic Weight and Balance • Prompted during before start checklist • Requires pilot entry only of passenger and cargo weight • Presents aircraft weight and plots balance (%MAC).

  14. Designed for Real World OperationPerformance Management • Allows pilot to enter/modify required variables • Presents V-speeds, rate-of-climb, and takeoff/landing distances • Bugs appropriate V-Speeds and N1 target
