N858GS

This airframe, registered as N858GS, is an Eclipse EA500 built by Eclipse Aviation Corp in 2007 and carries serial number 000039. The aircraft is registered in the United States and listed to owner SCOTT D GREGORY, an individual based in Beverly Hills, CA, US. The entry reflects a civil-registered, fixed-wing multi-engine business jet operated from a U.S. home base; available records indicate a private individual owner rather than a corporate or fractional operator. Recent valuation data for this specific airframe places its market worth at $1,400,000, a figure that provides context for condition and resale considerations but does not, by itself, describe maintenance status or avionics upgrades.

The cabin of this Eclipse EA500 is configured in an executive 5–6 place layout suitable for single‑pilot or two‑pilot operation, with typical seating arranged as 1+4/1+5. Avionics fit for the airframe is the Avio integrated flight system developed by IS&S, with Avio and Avio NG variants commonly installed; the specific install on this tail is reported as the Avio system family. Typical missions for this airframe type include short to mid‑range business hops and point‑to‑point executive transport within a roughly 1,125 nautical mile radius, leveraging a cruise speed around 335 knots and a service ceiling of up to 41,000 feet. As a privately owned airframe based in Beverly Hills, operations are likely centered on regional domestic travel, where cabin flexibility and single‑pilot capability are operational considerations.

The Eclipse EA500 occupies a niche as a very light jet offering twin-engine redundancy, relatively high cruise speed and a compact executive cabin. With propulsion from Pratt & Whitney Canada PW610F-A engines producing about 900 lbf each, the type competes in the VLJ segment against other small business jets targeting owner-operators and light charter. Market demand and resale value for individual airframes are sensitive to avionics configuration (Avio/Avio NG), total time, and maintenance history; the listed value of $1,400,000 for this specific serial suggests typical depreciation for a 2007-build EA500 in private ownership. Maintenance and parts considerations for the EA500 family remain central to buyer and charter operator decision-making.
