Model & Market Context
This entry covers the specific Eclipse EA500 airframe registered as N158TE, a 2007-built example with serial number 000058. The aircraft is owned by GLN SALES & CONSULTING LLC, a Hilton Head, South Carolina–based limited liability company that appears as the registered operator/owner on the US registry. There are no public notes of major registry transfers beyond the current ownership; the airframe is described as a typical late-production Eclipse 500 example with standard equipment and executive interior installations. Maintenance and valuation details beyond manufacturer and equipment fit are not published here.
The airframe is equipped with an executive 4–6 place cabin layout featuring club and forward seating as typical for the type; the enclosed cabin measures approximately 12 ft 4 in long, 4 ft 8 in wide, and 4 ft 2 in high, supporting short business or personal missions. Avionics are fitted in the typical EA500 configuration, using the Avio / Avio NG glass PFD/MFD architecture with known upgrade paths available; this supports single-pilot IFR operations at corporate speed and altitude profiles. With twin PW610F-A turbofan engines and a cruise of 335 kts, typical mission profiles for N158TE include regional point-to-point trips and on-demand charter legs from its Hilton Head operating base. Routine maintenance considerations align with light twin turbine schedules and OEM/ aftermarket support for the Avio systems and PW600-series engines.
The ECLIPSE EA500 (Eclipse 500) occupies the very light jet niche, offering economical short-to-medium range speed and high-altitude capability for owner-operators and small charter operators. With a 1,125 nm range and a 41,000 ft ceiling, the type competes with other VLJs and light jets in cost-sensitive private and fractional markets, trading larger cabin space for lower acquisition and operating costs. Resale and maintenance considerations typically focus on engine program coverage, avionics upgrade status (Avio to Avio NG), and interior condition, all of which influence market demand for airframes like N158TE.
