Model & Market Context
N179TD is a 2007 Eclipse EA500 (MSN 000074) registered to ELM GROVE PIPELINE LLC of Alpine, WY. The airframe carries Pratt & Whitney Canada PW610F-A turbofan engines (900 lbf each) and is listed on FAA-derived public records with Mode S hex A13C49; the current FAA/registry-derived certificate issue date is 2022-04-18 and the original airworthiness date is 2007-10-28.
The aircraft is marketed as a Special-Edition / refurbished EA500 with an IFMS v2.8 (IS&S) avionics fit and a 6-place LX-style executive interior (550-style Hill Aero refurbishment noted in listings). Recent sale/listing material states total time ~1,071.7 hours and cycles ~889, with completed 24-month/300-hr and 48-month/1,200-hr inspections in 2024.
The Eclipse EA500 is a very-light twin-jet optimized for high cruise speed (high‑speed cruise ~370–375 ktas) and NBAA/IFR missions out to roughly 1,100–1,300 nm at FL410. It competes as an entry-level light jet with low fuel burn and relatively low acquisition cost on the used market; used EA500s commonly trade in the low‑to‑mid single‑million dollar range depending on options, hours, and upgrades. Key technical limits: service ceiling 41,000 ft, fuel capacity ~250–254 USG, and two PW610F-A engines (900 lbf each).
