A new lease on life is always welcome. One Aviation said last week the FAA had granted it just that by extending the structural life limit on the Eclipse 500 and 550 from 10,000 to 20,000 flight hours or 20,000 cycles, whichever occurs first.
FAA Approves Structural Life Limit Increase for Eclipse 500/550
Key Takeaways:
- The FAA has extended the structural life limit for Eclipse 500 and 550 jets from 10,000 to 20,000 flight hours or 20,000 cycles.
- This life extension applies to virtually all Eclipse aircraft equipped with the extended tip tank modification and is automatically effective for owners with no additional action beyond standard inspections.
- Currently, these new life limits are applicable only to U.S. "N" registered aircraft, though efforts are in progress to extend them to other international regions.
