N207TB

This entry covers the Eclipse 500 airframe bearing tail number N207TB, serial 000179, a factory-built example of the very light jet derivative Eclipse 500 (EA500). The specific build year is Not published; the airframe is recorded as owned by Private owner, an individual based in Grass Valley, CA, US. The aircraft is US-registered and operated from that home base; notable registry actions or major condition/valuation events are Not published. Public records indicate a singular private ownership listing rather than corporate or charter operation.

The airframe is typically fitted in an executive 4–6 place cabin layout; this example is configured in a 5-seat arrangement consistent with light owner-operator use. Avionics commonly fitted to the type — and associated with this airframe in maintenance and equipment records — include IS&S Avio systems (Avio / Avio NG commonly fitted), supporting integrated flight displays and modern EFIS capabilities for a VLJ. Typical mission profiles for this registration would be short- to medium-range executive transit within the aircraft’s 1,125 nm range and cruise at around 375 knots, operating from regional airports around Grass Valley, California. Maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect the twin Pratt & Whitney Canada PW610F-A turbofans’ shop visit cycles and the avionics installation noted; specific maintenance history for this serial is Not published.

The Eclipse 500 (EA500) family occupies the very light jet niche, aimed at owner-operators seeking jet performance with low acquisition and operating footprints. With twin PW610F-A engines, a 41,000 ft service ceiling and cruise near 375 kt, it competes functionally with other VLJs and entry-level light jets in secondary markets. Buyer and charter demand historically centers on private owners and small charter operators; resale considerations include the airframe’s avionics fit (IS&S Avio installations are a common retrofit/upgrade path) and engine shop visit economics tied to the PW610F-A.
