N500VH

This entry covers the specific Eclipse 500 airframe bearing tail number N500VH, a 2008 build with serial number 000211. The aircraft is registered in the United States (US) and is owned in a co-ownership arrangement by ADAMS AIR LLC, based in Newark, DE, US. The airframe’s ownership is notable as an established co-ownership operated from a Delaware base, and public valuation or detailed condition reporting for this particular serial is not published. No other registry actions or incidents are recorded in the provided dataset.

The cabin of this Eclipse 500 is fitted in a 1+4 executive layout (typical 4-6 passenger club seating), reflecting the manufacturer’s common executive interior arrangement for the model. Avionics are specified as Avio / Avio NG (IS&S), a factory-integrated flightdeck suite common to Eclipse 500s, supporting single-pilot operation and light-jet IFR missions. Typical mission profiles for this airframe would include short to medium-range executive transport and owner-flown cross-country trips within its 1,125 nm range capability and cruise speed near 335 kts, operating from the owner’s base in Newark, DE, US. Maintenance considerations align with light twin-jet practices, focusing on the PW610F-A turbofan pair and the integrated Avio avionics suite.

The Eclipse 500 (EA500) occupies the very light jet niche, offering owner-operators a low-cost entry into jet performance with a six-seat cabin and high-altitude capability to 41,000 ft. The model competes with other VLJs and light-cabin jets in short-to-medium range roles, where cruise speed around 335 kts and the PW610F-A engines’ thrust of 950 lbf each define operational capability. Market demand historically centers on owner-operators and small charter firms; resale and maintenance considerations often focus on avionics upgrades (Avio/Avio NG), lifecycle management of the PW610F-A engines, and the implications of co-ownership on dispatch and management.
