Great video Tony! I’m in a similar position, currently flying Mooney Acclaim-S but seriously looking at the Eclipse. Nothing else comes close in terms of efficiency… looking forward to seeing what you choose 👍

Great video, Tony! The Phenom looks like a pretty cool jet. Does it have a bathroom?

I should have mentioned that! Yes, there’s an option for a bathroom. My wife wants a bathroom, so pretty sure this is the way we will go.

Great videos. I thought the comment; for anyone on a budget maybe the 550. I love that because I think of my 86 year old Mom and how all of her life she has been in a budget which is why she is still on a budget. Go for it all.Clearly I didn’t listen to Mom.

When comparing Pax/Fuel/Payload you need to consider how much of a combination can you carry for how far you need to go and what is the fuel burn+IFR reserves to get there. For example, do you still get a 1,300 lbs payload with 249 gallons of fuel in a Phenom 100?

Yes, but those are way more expensive. And I feel like I’d have trouble flying something with Honda on it lol

Can't get 'em brand new but you want fast and efficient check out a Beech Premier 1A. Max cruise (4 pax) = 454ktas.

A more accurate comparison would be a Citation Mustang against a Phenom. I also wouldn't rule out a turbo prop - TBM 960 would be hard to beat in every test on your comparison.

So many options. Mustang could be one. TBM looks great too and may look into Pilatus. Nothing like owning a twin engine Jet though.

Your $3m number for an Eclipse is way off. I recently bought an Eclipse for under $1m. The price range is basically $1-2m for these. Mine has a newly re-done interior as well.

Congrats on the purchase. For used yes. It would be much more for brand new.

@@TonyJavierTV Eclipse is very very slowly producing new 550 aircraft, but I believe most/all of those are destined for part 135 operators. Regardless, you don't want a brand new one. Buy a fully-loaded 2.9 550 for $2m. Same plane as what's coming off the production line. In my case, I wanted the Garmin 625 avionics configuration which is informally known as the 1.9 model ("lower" than the 2.9 but arguably superior in some respects). You need to get more info if you want to make a good decision here.

@@TonyJavierTV All things that I expected so far. But I've only been flying her for 2 months. My suggestion to you is to join the EJOPA forum (i.e., Eclipse owners' forum). It's worth the $150/yr to lurk and ask questions about the plane and its merits.

The Phenom will not go more then 1100 nm. Eclipse’s real range is 1050 nm. Both with 45 min reserve. Eclipse is more comfortable - seats recline, way more room for pilot. Phenom pax seat backs do NOT recline. Phenom is very underpowered: needs a lot of RW and barely climbs above FL300. Let me know if you need help finding the right plane or getting your type rating. I got 11 type ratings, flying with me is fun! Check out my Eclipse video kzitem.info/news/bejne/zYiAvmh_e2iQjH4si=2TNhcHrmymY-8mXU

The Eclipse has not even been in production for years. So you are comparing a jet that was designed and certificated at least 15 years before the Micky Mouse single or the LARGER and still 15 years newer Phenom 100. Compare the Eclipse with a Mustang II and you get a more credible comparison.

You put more than 3 people in the phenom or the Eclipse and you’re gonna sacrifice fuel and range big time . Put 8 people in a phenom, and I say GOOD LUCK.

You are mentioning having to learn a new avionics system but comletely omit that you are upgrading from a single engine piston FIXED GEAR airplane to a turbojet twin requiring real training. Awesome!🙄
