Short Field Take-Off

The Silver Eagle is capable to take-off on very short runways. Watch this take-off on a 1.700 ft runway at ISA +5 and full fuel. The plane is off the runway in less then half of the runway.


Take-Off and incredible climb-rate

Watch the incredible climb of a Silver Eagle after Take-Off

Deicing of the leading edge

See how the boots are working to deice the leading edge.


Short Field Performance

The Silver Eagle is one of the best turbine short field performer. You can almost start and land everywhere. Watch this and enjoy.

2.500 ft/min. Climb rate...you don't believe? Have a look!

There is nothing better than a video testimonial. Others are writing nice numbers...the Silver Eagle is delivering. Look at the climb rate...almost a jet!


Upset Recovery Training

The Silver Eagle is very docile regarding unusual attitudes. Here you can see what happens, when you come to a stall. The recovery is straight forward. No spin, if you push immediately the rudder.


A upgraded panel of the Silver Eagle

Over the years many owners did upgrade their panels. There are many STC's available for this plane. Have a look on a modern panel
