Model & Market Context
This airframe, registration N718RB, is an Eclipse 500 (EA500) very light jet built in 2008 with serial number 000218. It was manufactured by Eclipse Aviation Corporation, produced prior to the company’s later reorganization into Eclipse Aerospace / One Aviation. The aircraft is recorded as owned by Feb14 Aviation LLC, a limited liability company; its registration is listed in the US and the airframe carries a published valuation of $1,050,000. Registry records for this specific tail indicate standard private ownership transfer history rather than airline or fractional operation, with valuation and condition reflecting typical market placement for late-2000s EA500 examples.
The airframe is configured in a single‑pilot capable 1+4 executive layout providing seating for five in a compact executive cabin; this configuration matches typical owner/operator private use. Avionics are fitted with IS&S Avio systems (noted variants include Avio NG / IFMS), supporting the aircraft’s single-pilot instrumentation and integrated flight management required for mixed IFR private missions. Typical operations for this hull would include short-to-medium range point-to-point corporate or owner-flown trips within the aircraft’s 1,125 nm range and high-speed cruise profile, operating to altitudes up to 41,000 ft. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe align with very light jet practices, including focused attention on PW610F-A engine cycles and avionics software/IFMS updates.
The Eclipse 500 (EA500) family occupies the very light jet niche, offering high cruise speeds around 335 kts and transcontinental-feasible mission capability in regional markets. Competing models in the segment historically include other VLJs and entry-level light jets; demand is typically driven by owner-operators and on-demand charter operators. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 2008 airframe center on cumulative hours, engine life limits and the availability of avionics support for IS&S Avio NG/IFMS upgrades, while its indicated valuation of $1,050,000 positions it within the secondary market for late-production EA500s.
