N166EA

This airframe, registered as N166EA, is an EA500 built in 2008 with serial number 000169. It is owned by SUNKIST AVIATION LLC, a limited liability company based in Holly, MI, US, and operates on a United States registration. The airframe’s last recorded valuation stands at $1,057,430, reflecting market and condition factors typical for late-production Eclipse 500s. No additional public registry actions or ownership transfers are noted in the supplied data.

This specific EA500 is fitted with a typical 4–6-place executive cabin layout, featuring club seating and a small refreshment area with baggage space aft, accommodating executive missions and short-group transport. The avionics fit reflects common EA500 equipment: Avio NG paired with IS&S IFMS, supporting glass-panel operations, basic flight management, and integrated systems monitoring. With a 1,125 nm range and a 335-knot cruise, typical operations include regional point-to-point corporate hops, owner-flown business travel, and light charter missions from its base in Holly, MI, US. Maintenance considerations for this airframe align with the EA500 fleet norms, including attention to PW610F-A engine scheduled inspections and avionics software currency for Avio NG/IS&S IFMS systems.

The Eclipse EA500 occupies the very light jet niche, offering high cruise speeds and high-altitude capability (41,000 ft) for short-to-medium regional missions and owner-operator use. Competing models in its class typically include early-generation VLJs and small light jets that balance operating cost with speed and runway performance. Market demand tends to favor well-equipped, low-time examples with current avionics — attributes this airframe meets with Avio NG/IS&S IFMS — while resale values are influenced by engine time, avionics upgrades, and completed maintenance; at a reported $1,057,430, this unit sits within expected late-model EA500 valuation ranges. Maintenance and parts considerations for the PW610F-A engines and legacy EA500 systems remain key determinants of ongoing operating cost and buyer interest.
