Buying a Used Eclipse 500

Buying a Eclipse 500 is about the engines, maintenance programs and avionics as much as the airframe. Engine and airframe hourly-maintenance programs transfer with the aircraft and materially change both price and risk.

What to check before buying

  • Engine status & program — time to overhaul/MPI and whether the engines are enrolled on an hourly maintenance program (the biggest value driver on any jet).
  • Airframe program & inspections — scheduled (Doc) inspections, airframe/parts programs and total cycles.
  • Avionics & mandates — a modern glass flight deck plus required mandates (ADS-B, FANS) raise value and capability.
  • Damage history & logbooks — complete, gap-free records and a clean accident history protect resale.
  • Pre-buy inspection — a full pre-buy at a type-authorised service centre before money changes hands.

Frequently Asked Questions — Eclipse 500

What are the biggest concerns with Eclipse 500 ownership?
Parts availability has been the primary issue since Eclipse Aviation went bankrupt in 2009. Some components are scarce or require alternative sourcing. All troubleshooting is computer-based — your mechanic needs Eclipse-specific training and laptop tools. An FAA emergency AD required thrust lever inspections across the fleet. Verify parts support and service access before buying.
Is the Eclipse 500 a good value as a very light jet?
Used Eclipse 500s sell for $1-2M — the cheapest jet you can buy. Annual budget at 200 hours is about $428K. The PW615 engines are reliable but maintenance is specialized. Single-pilot operation with Avio NG avionics makes it practical for owner-operators. But the cabin seats only 4-5 in a very tight space, range is limited to 1,125 nm, and the company history adds risk.
Eclipse 500 vs. Cirrus Vision Jet — how do they compare?
The Vision Jet is currently in production with full manufacturer support — a major advantage. The Eclipse is faster (370 vs. 311 KTAS) and carries more fuel, but the Vision Jet has a larger cabin, CAPS parachute, and Garmin avionics ecosystem. For buyers prioritizing long-term support and resale, the Vision Jet wins. The Eclipse wins on speed and acquisition price.
