N712WG

This entry covers airframe N712WG, an Eclipse Aviation EA500 (Eclipse 500) completed in 2008 with manufacturer serial number 000180. The airframe is registered in the United States and is owned by Hf Jet Service LLC, an LLC based in Wilmington, DE, US; registration records indicate the aircraft is held by the named Delaware-based operator. The airframe reflects typical EA500 valuation in its condition with an assessed market value of $700,000 and carries the standard US registration history for a second-generation very light jet.

The cabin of N712WG is arranged in the typical 1+4 executive layout, accommodating 5 passengers as standard with a 6-passenger maximum configuration; this reflects common EA500 interior planning for short business sectors. Avionics fitted are the Avio suite (Avio NG / IS&S), the typical EA500 fit that supports the aircraft’s limited-crew operations and modern navigation requirements. Operated from the owner’s base in Wilmington, DE, US, the aircraft is suited to short- to medium-range corporate hops and on-demand charter or owner-flown missions within its 1,125 nm range and cruise performance. Maintenance considerations align with twin-engine very light jet practices, with systems and engine support centered on the Pratt & Whitney Canada PW600 series logistics and Avio avionics lifecycle management.

The Eclipse Aviation EA500 (Eclipse 500) occupies the very light jet niche, offering high cruise speeds around 335 kts and a service ceiling near 41,000 ft, appealing to owner-operators and small charter operators seeking lower acquisition cost and efficient short-haul performance. Competing types include other VLJs and light jets that trade cabin size or range for similar operating economics; resale values such as the $700,000 estimate for N712WG reflect market pressures including fleet support, parts availability, and avionics/engine upgrade pathways. Buyers and operators evaluate EA500 examples like N712WG for remaining useful life, shop visit history, and the status of PW610F-A engine support programs when assessing maintenance and resale considerations.
