Model & Market Context
This entry covers the specific Eclipse 500 airframe bearing registration N161BB, built in 2008 with serial number 000222. The aircraft is owned by JETWAY LLC, an LLC based in Dover, DE, US, and is registered in the US. The airframe is a member of the Eclipse Aviation Corp production line and is notable for being a single example with serial 000222; no other ownership or registry actions are published in the provided data. The airframe is certificated as a fixed‑wing multi‑engine executive jet and is typically operated from the owner's Dover, Delaware base.
The cabin of this airframe is fitted in the typical Eclipse arrangement with 5–6 place executive club seating, and is single‑pilot capable. Avionics fit on this airframe aligns with the common fits for the model, using Avio (IS&S) and upgrades typical to Avio NG as found in EA500/550 upgrade programs. Typical operations for this aircraft type include short‑to‑medium range business trips within the aircraft’s 1,125 nm range and higher‑speed point‑to‑point missions enabled by a 375 kt cruise. As an owner‑operated LLC asset based in Dover, DE, mission profiles likely emphasize owner/chief‑pilot single‑pilot dispatch; maintenance considerations follow Pratt & Whitney Canada engine support and avionics upgrade pathways consistent with Avio/Avio NG retrofits.
The Eclipse 500 (EA500) occupies a light twinjet niche offering relatively high cruise speeds and an upper‑mid‑teens thousand‑foot cabin capability within a compact 5–6 seat configuration. In market terms, this family competes for owner‑operators and small charter operators seeking fast, efficient point‑to‑point capability with single‑pilot operation. Maintenance and resale considerations for this serial include continued support for PW610F‑A engines and the common avionics upgrade route to Avio NG, factors that influence buyer demand and lifecycle costs for specific airframes such as N161BB.
