    Phenom Owners Weekend Miami 2021

    Updated Aug 28th with latest info - see post below.

    Hi Everyone !

    PhenomPilots.org is excited to announce its first of hopefully many Phenom Getaway weekends. The event will be taking place at The Palms Hotel and Spa Friday, September 10th through Sunday, September 12th in Miami's South Beach.

    A Phenom Getaway weekend is all about relaxing and socializing with fellow aviators, along with a few hours of educational sessions that help us become better pilots.



    These fun weekend getaways will be very intimate and exclusive. You and your companion will have the opportunity to socialize with fellow aviators including the Saturday morning speakers.

    PhenomPilots.org has negotiated a special rate for Ocean View rooms with a King bed at The Palms Hotel and Spa. The rate is $415.26 per night, including all taxes and fees. Other room options are available.



    Friday evening will start out at 5:30 PM with cocktails in the resort bar, sponsored by Gold Aviation.




    At 6:15 PM there will be a cozy dinner in a private space beside the resort pool, sponsored by Aerospace Turbine Rotables.




    There will be a buffet breakfast on Saturday morning from 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM. This will be held on a beautiful outside terrace, exclusively for delegates of the event. Sponsored by The Jet Exchange.




    While your companion sleeps in, relaxes by the pool, at the beach, or visits the Spa, fellow aviators will gather for a mini speaker series on Saturday morning.




    Tom Norton of Norton Aviation (Website) will begin the series from 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM, with his fun and entertaining style of aviation training. If you have seen Tom at Eclipse events previously, you know you are in for a treat.

    Chris Grinnell from Aero Star Aviation and (Username Protected) from Turbine Rotables will be giving us a must see presentation on Saturday morning, covering important elements to look out for in the 10 year airframe and landing gear inspection.

    After a short coffee break, representatives from Miami Tower and TRACON will give a presentation, followed by a question and answer session. Another coffee break will follow. Coffee breaks are sponsored by JetAviva.




    Aviation Expert, John Cox (Website), is our featured speaker.

    At 28, John was a captain with U.S. Airways on the Boeing 727. Since then, his career has taken him from airline captain, to crash investigator, to aviation safety and regulatory authority.



    As part of the government inquiry after the Boeing 737 MAX 8 accidents, John was called to testify before congress.



    John is the "Go to" aviation expert for news networks. He has also appeared in numerous aviation accident documentaries on History, Smithsonian and National Geographic channels.

    His presentation to us that morning is called "High Performance Pilot". John will be touching on several salient points as they relate to our safe flying and operation of the Phenom Jet.

    Those who have transitioned into the Phenom from a piston or high performance twin, or single, will greatly benefit from this presentation and question and answer period.

    John Cox, Tom Norton, Chris Grinnell and (Username Protected) Hollande will be joining us for the entire weekend. The Miami Tower and TRACON controllers will be staying with us for lunch. As an added value for attending this exclusive event, there will be lots of opportunity for you to have high quality, one-on-one, time with these aviation professionals.

    After the mini speaker series has concluded, we'll all enjoy a sit-down, plated and served lunch on the terrace. Lunch is sponsored by Naples Jet Center.



    After lunch, you and your companion can enjoy the resort and South Beach for the rest of the afternoon.

    Saturday night will be a special treat. Aero Star Aviation will be treating us to a delicious dinner at Smith and Wollenksky at the tip of South Beach on Saturday night. This private dinning space has a gorgeous view of the ocean and harbor where the cruise ships are docked. The Phenom Store is sponsoring pre-dinner cocktails.

    Space will be limited at this special weekend getaway. The cost to attend is $339 per person (plus room charge)

    To register, please contact me, Mike (Username Protected) at 714-926-9901 or, [email protected]. Feel free to contact me if you are considering attending and have questions.

    For the last five years I've been organizing similar weekend getaways for the Eclipse Jet Owners Association with great success. I will be available to help everyone with event registration, and will assist with booking your room at The Palms Resort and Spa.

    I'll continue to keep everyone updated on arrival information and other details of this exciting weekend as it draws closer.

    We'll see you there!

    I'd like to thank Chris Grinnell and his team at Aero Star Aviation and (Username Protected) from Aerospace Turbine Rotables for their major sponsorship of the weekend.


    Aerospace Turbine Rotables are sponsoring dinner at the resort on Friday night. Aero Star Aviation is sponsoring the very special dinner on Saturday night at Smith and Wollensky's. This will be taking place in a private dinning space with ocean views and cruise ships floating past.


    A special thanks goes out to Gold Aviation Services for sponsoring the cocktail reception on Friday night at the resort, The Jet Exchange for sponsoring the beautiful buffet breakfast Saturday morning, Jet Aviva for sponsoring our coffee, tea and snacks at break-time during the speaker series Saturday morning, and Naples Jet Center for sponsoring a delicious sit-down, plated and served lunch on Saturday, as well as transportation to and from the FBO Friday afternoon and Sunday morning.


    I'll be sending out an email in late August with arrival and ground transportation information. It's going to be great!


    See you all soon !

    Mike

    I'm looking forward to meeting everyone. Thanks for putting this together.

    I will most likely skip the shuttle van simply because I usually fail to be on time for anything that has a specific scheduled time.

    Although this event might be in the past, I'm sure it was an absolute blast for those who attended. Just imagining the sunny beaches of Miami's South Beach and the opportunity to connect with fellow aviators puts a smile on my face.
    Speaking of aviation adventures, have you ever considered adding some epic lighting and sound to your future gatherings? I recently stumbled upon lalightingandsound.com, and they're experts in creating memorable experiences. While their services may not have been available during the Phenom Getaway, they could have taken your event to the next level with their top-notch production.
