N778TC

This airframe, registered as N778TC, is a 2007 build of the Eclipse 500 (EA500) family with serial number 000085. The jet is recorded as owned by Tsakopoulos Company LLC, an LLC based in Carmichael, CA, and is registered in the US. The airframe’s public record highlights its factory model year and corporate ownership; a broker listing has documented the installed avionics fit. No other ownership transfers or regulatory enforcement actions are published in the provided dataset.

The airplane is fitted in a typical EA500 executive layout with a six-place cabin configuration, noted as 6-place executive layout (typical EA500 6 seats). Avionics reported on a broker listing include Avio (AVIO 1.9) with dual Garmin GTN‑625, dual GTX‑345R, and Garmin FS510 FlightStream, providing a mixed factory/retrofit glass suite aimed at owner-operators or light charter use. Given the Eclipse 500’s performance envelope—short-range, high-speed point-to-point trips—the aircraft is typically deployed on regional business missions and owner-operated corporate hops from its home base in Carmichael, CA. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe would follow standard EA500 schedules for its Pratt & Whitney Canada PW610F turbofans and any supplemental inspection items noted by broker or operator records.

The Eclipse 500 (EA500) occupies the very light jet niche, offering high cruise speeds and a modest transcontinental range suitable for regional business travel. Competing models in the same mission class include other VLJs and single-pilot light jets that trade cabin size for operating economy. Buyer and charter demand for EA500s is typically driven by acquisition price, retrofit avionics, and engine maintenance history; the presence of dual GTN‑625s and FlightStream in this airframe enhances resale appeal relative to base AVIO installations. Resale and maintenance considerations hinge on serial-specific logbooks, engine cycles, and adherence to published inspection intervals for the PW610F engines.
