Eclipse 500

Listing-based estimates for the 17 Eclipse 500s on Radar run from about $700K to $1.9M, with a middle estimate of $1.3M. They are rough estimates from public listings and market reports, not appraisals.

What moves the price of any one Eclipse 500: total time and engine time, engine program enrollment, damage history, avionics and equipment, and complete logbooks. Build year sets the baseline; a Eclipse 500 with high hours, an engine near overhaul or gaps in its records sells below it, and one with low time, recent inspections and full records above it.

As published: up to 5 passengers, a range of 1,125 nm (1,295 statute miles), a high-speed cruise of 370 ktas (426 mph), a ceiling of 41,000 ft, a cabin 4 ft 2 in high, 4 ft 8 in wide and 2 × Pratt & Whitney Canada PW610F-A engines. A given aircraft varies with its completion, weight and modifications.

The Eclipse 500's published range is 1,125 nautical miles (1,295 statute miles), with nBAA IFR, 100 nm alternate, 4 occupants (200 lb pilot + three 170 lb passengers). Winds, payload, cruise speed and the reserves a flight carries change what a given trip can do.

Not nonstop between New York and London: that is about 2,986 nm, against a published range of 1,125 nm. Aircraft with less range than the crossing make it in legs, with fuel stops in Canada, Greenland and Iceland.

Not nonstop. Los Angeles to Honolulu is about 2,217 nm over open water, more than the Eclipse 500's published range of 1,125 nm.

The Eclipse 500 cruises at up to 370 knots true airspeed (about 426 mph), and its maximum operating Mach number is 0.58, as published.

The Eclipse 500 is certified to 41,000 feet. Heavy aircraft climb there in steps as they burn fuel.

Up to 5 passengers, the most the type is published for. Many aircraft are completed with fewer, larger seats, so a given Eclipse 500 may seat fewer.

4 ft 2 in high and 4 ft 8 in wide, 12 ft 4 in long, as published.
