Model & Market Context

This entry documents airframe N105LB, an Eclipse EA500 light twinjet built by Eclipse Aviation Corp in 2008 bearing serial number 000118. The aircraft is registered in the US and is recorded as owned by BHK LLC (an LLC based in Middletown, DE, US). There are no other publicly cited ownership transfers or notable registry actions beyond its current registration; the aircraft’s registration and ownership are held by BHK LLC. Market valuation records list the airframe at $1,400,000, reflecting its age and configuration.

The cabin of N105LB follows the standard 6-place executive layout (typical EA500 configuration), configured for owner/operator or small business transport missions. Specific avionics fit and supplemental equipment listings are not published for this airframe; routine missions for an EA500 in this configuration typically include short- to medium-range executive hops and owner-flown cross-country trips within the aircraft’s 1,280 nm range at a cruise of about 335 kts. The registered base of the owner in Middletown, DE, US suggests operations and maintenance are likely coordinated from that region; maintenance considerations align with light-twin turbofan practices for the PW610F-A engines and the EA500 airframe.

The Eclipse EA500 occupies the very light twinjet niche, offering owner-pilot accessibility with six-place executive comfort, cruise speeds in the mid-300-knot band and high practical ceilings around 41,000 ft. Typical competitors historically include other entry-level light jets with similar mission profiles. At a reported market value of $1,400,000 for this 2008 airframe, buyers and charter operators weigh lower acquisition cost against potential maintenance, parts availability, and the specific PW610F-A engine support environment when assessing purchase or resale.
