E5C Forums: Essential Information For Owners

The E5C continues to provide important information and resources for Eclipse Owners during the bankruptcy. You can find answers to your maintenance, training, and operations questions. There is significant information on many aspects of keeping Eclipse 500's flying.

Owners are encouraged to participate as often as possible. All members should consider submitting articles on any important subject of interest to your fellow owners.

We all hope that this bankruptcy saga will be resolved very soon and we can continue to enjoy the pleasures and delight of flying this great little bird.

Eclipse Instructors Register Now!

With the bankruptcy we have become more dependent than ever on a network of highly skilled Eclipse Mentors and other instructors. We have always welcomed Eclipse trained Mentors to become members of the E5C, but now that no new Mentors can be authorized by Eclipse we have expanded that invitation to all Eclipse instructors and training organization. Just register as an Enthusiast and send your request to to be "upgraded". Instructors are encouraged to participate in the training and operation related forums, and we have created a new special area for you to post your "business card" and service announcements.

Eclipse Maintenance Suppliers Register Now!

Similar to the support we have been receiving from Eclipse instructors, a network of dedicated maintenance suppliers has emerged. In order to make it easier for our members to find the support they need we have opened up a forum area for suppliers of parts and maintenance for the Eclipse fleet. Suppliers are encouraged to become free members of the E5C, just register as an Enthusiast and send your request to to be "upgraded". Suppliers will have access to and are encouraged to participate in the service and operation related forums, and we have created a new special area for you to post your "business card" and service announcements.
