Model & Market Context

This airframe, US-registered as N141EA, is an Eclipse EA500 built in 2008 with manufacturer serial number 000223. The certificate of ownership lists QUALITAIR LLC TRUSTEE (an LLC/Trustee) located in Michelstadt, DE as the current owner; this ownership association is the principal recorded trustee interest for the airframe. The aircraft is configured and maintained to executive standards and carries an indicative market valuation of $1,000,000. Registry and valuation entries reflect a typically operated late-production EA500 example with US registration and European trustee ownership.

The cabin for this airframe follows the typical EA500 executive layout with a 5–6 place club/forward seating arrangement providing executive comfort and short-field operational flexibility. Avionics commonly installed on this model and noted for this airframe family are the IS&S Avio integrated flight deck (Avio/Avio NG variants commonly installed), supporting modern glass-cockpit operations and enabling single- or two-pilot IFR missions. Typical mission profiles for the EA500 include short- to medium-range business trips within the aircraft’s 1,125 nm range and higher-speed regional flights at a cruise of 371 kts, often operating from business-oriented airports. Maintenance considerations for this airframe align with twin turbofan light-jet practices, focusing on engine trend monitoring for the PW610F-A pair and avionics lifecycle support for the Avio system.

The Eclipse EA500 occupies the light twin-engine, very light jet niche, offering higher cruise speeds and altitudes than many turboprops while targeting owner-operators and small charter operations. With a service ceiling of 41,000 ft and a six-seat executive cabin, it competes with other entry-level VLJs and light jets where buyers prioritize efficiency and runway performance. Market demand for EA500s tends to be owner-operator driven with periodic charter interest; resale and maintenance considerations center on engine time, corrosion inspection history, and the supportability of legacy Avio avionics variants. The indicative value of $1,000,000 for this 2008 airframe reflects these operational and secondary-market factors.
