N187EA

This entry covers airframe N187EA, an Eclipse Aviation-built Eclipse 500 (EA500) with manufacturer serial 000187, delivered in 2008. The aircraft is U.S.-registered (US) and carries the specific construction and equipment set associated with early EA500 production runs. Ownership timeline and detailed operator history are Not published in the supplied data; notable registry actions beyond national registration are Not published. Condition and valuation highlights are limited to factory configuration and common EA500 attributes rather than an independent appraisal.

The fitted cabin follows a typical 5–6 place executive layout accommodating a single-pilot plus up to five passengers, with a small forward galley and limited baggage volume consistent with the EA500 type. Avionics aboard this airframe are from the Avio / AvioNG family (IS&S), reflecting the common Avio-series installations fitted to EA500s; individual fit and capabilities can vary with subsequent refurbishments or upgrades. Typical mission profiles for an airframe with these performance figures emphasize short to medium-range executive transport, point-to-point regional hops and light business travel, leveraging the aircraft’s high single-pilot capability and efficient twin-engine thrust. Operator base and specific route records for this tail number are Not published in the provided dataset; maintenance considerations follow EA500 norms given the compact cabin and limited baggage capacity.

The Eclipse 500 (EA500) occupies the very light jet niche within the fixed-wing multi-engine category, offering high cruise speed (around 370 kts) and transcontinental-feasible single-leg range near 1,125 nm for light executive missions. Competing models in the VLJ category have historically included similar twin- or single-engine small jets focused on owner-operators and charter operators seeking economy and speed on short sectors. Buyer and charter demand tends to emphasize low operating cost, single-pilot capability and airport accessibility; resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect the PW610F-A engine commonality, Avio-series avionics support, and the limited baggage/cabin volume that constrain some mission flexibility.
