Learjet 45: record de accidentes

De aproximadamente 400+ aviones fabricados a la fecha solo dos se habían estrellado:

1. En las propias instalaciones de Bombardier, Canada, durante pruebas.
2. En Italia al chocar contra una parvada de palomas.
3. Este ultimo en México... hagan sus conclusiones

The Bombadier Aerospace Learjet 45 nine-seat super-light business jet was announced in 1992. The 300th aircraft was delivered in June 2006.

Así es la cabina:


Un avión "fly by wire", facil de volar, bastante asistido por computadora ¿ Que pudo haber salido mal ?

Ease of operation was a key design goal with the new Learjet. In addition to fewer parts, the craft has a built-in maintenance tracking system. A technician can plug a laptop computer into a panel and download a fault list from all of the avionics, engines, and other systems.

The 45's glass cockpit makes for simplified in-flight system management. The Primus 1000 integrated avionics system and engine instrument/crew advisory system (EICAS) has a page for monitoring every major system as well as for displaying primary flight instruments.

Power management usually creates a high workload when flying jets, thus requiring new power settings with changes in weight and ambient conditions. The Learjet 45 takes much of the power management off the pilots' hands by computing it for them. For takeoff, for example, advance the thrust levers three clicks to the takeoff position, feet off the brakes, and you're out of here. During the climb, ease the levers back a notch to the max continuous thrust (MCT) position, and let the digital electronic engine computer (DEEC) worry about the rest.
