Model & Market Context

This airframe, registered as N170EA, is a 2008-built Eclipse EA500 manufactured by Eclipse Aviation Corp with serial number 000170. The aircraft is registered in the US and is recorded as owned by individual MOOR HALLEY RAY JR, of Hankamer, Texas; the listing material notes LX edition options and avionics package details. There are no other publicized ownership transfers in the supplied data; the aircraft’s broker material referenced LX edition options as a notable marketing point. The airframe valuation on the provided data is $1,850,000, indicating market positioning for a late-model very light jet with full executive fit.

The cabin is fitted in an Executive 4–6 place club configuration (LX edition options reported on listing material), suitable for owner-operator executive missions and short charter trips; broker material indicates the LX options were highlighted in marketing. Avionics for this specific airframe are listed as IS&S Avio / IFMS (Avio/IFMS v2.x listed in broker material), supporting integrated flight management and avionics functionality typical for the type. Typical operations for this airframe profile include regional point-to-point missions within the stated 1,125 nm range and high-speed climbs to cruise at 335 kts and flight levels up to 41,000 ft, favoring owner-pilots or small corporate groups based from Hankamer, TX. Maintenance considerations align with the PW610F-A turbofan engines and VLJ-specific inspection intervals.

The Eclipse EA500 occupies the very light jet niche with twin Pratt & Whitney Canada PW610F-A engines producing 950 lbf each, offering high cruise speeds and pressurized-cabin comfort for short to mid-range missions. Competing models in the market segment historically include other VLJs and light jets that trade lower acquisition cost for more payload or range; the reported $1,850,000 valuation reflects condition, avionics fit, and LX edition interior options. Buyer demand tends to focus on owner-operators seeking efficiency and speed for regional hops, while resale and maintenance considerations emphasize engine program status and the specialised avionics/IFMS support noted for this airframe.
