ECLIPSE EA500 Model Guide
ECLIPSE EA500 · Model Guide
Overview
ECLIPSE EA500 is a turbofan jet. Registry data for the model family shows up to 6 passengers, up to 1200 nm range, up to 285 kt cruise and up to 41000 ft service ceiling. Those are family maxima, not figures for a single airframe. This guide is built from Eclipse service bulletins, so a buyer's main job is to check bulletin compliance by serial number.
- Family-level maxima only: up to 6 passengers, 1200 nm range, 285 kt cruise, 41000 ft ceiling. Verify the actual airframe's figures in its AFM.
- Early aircraft (serials 000001 through 000064) were covered by SB 500-34-005, a pitot/AOA upgrade. Confirm it was done.
- SB 500-25-009 and SB 500-57-012 are mandatory at the next 300 hour / 24 month inspection. Check logbooks for compliance by serial number.
- Bulletins name Eclipse SE, SEP, Total Eclipse Plus and Eclipse 500 Plus configurations. Confirm which avionics and configuration the aircraft has.

What does the registry say the ECLIPSE EA500 can do?
For the ECLIPSE EA500 family the registry lists up to 1200 nm range, up to 285 kt cruise, up to 41000 ft service ceiling, up to 6 passengers and up to 2600 kg MTOW. These are family maxima, not guaranteed for a specific aircraft.
Which bulletins should I check on an ECLIPSE EA500?
Check SB 500-34-005 and SB 500-34-019 (pitot/AOA, early serials), SB 500-25-009 (floor panel) and SB 500-57-012 (flap wiring overbraid). Confirm each against the aircraft's serial number and logbooks.
Can an ECLIPSE EA500 be registered in EASA countries?
SB 500-04-001 Rev C defines the configuration for exporting an ECLIPSE EA500 to EASA states. It is mandatory for those registrations and lists required manuals and bulletins, such as FIKI and the Avio NG 1.5 upgrade.

Pitot/AOA system history
SB 500-34-005 Rev B (ALERT, issued 10 July 2007) upgrades the pitot/AOA probes and adds a water trap to the tubing for serials 000001 through 000064. SB 500-34-019 Rev C (ALERT) requires a pitot/AOA probe heater inspection/test for serials 000001 through 000189. Ask for compliance records for both.
Mandatory structural and wiring bulletins
SB 500-25-009 Rev B reworks the forward center floor panel to improve clearance to the left main cabin wiring harness (about 24 labor hours estimated). It applies to serials up to 000300. SB 500-57-012 Rev A inspects flap actuator wiring for overbraid (serials 000001 to 000239 after SB 500-57-008). Inspection is 0.5 hour; up to 16.5 hours if overbraid must be installed.
Importing to EASA countries
SB 500-04-001 Rev C (15 April 2016) sets the configuration for aircraft registered in EASA states, covering serials 000001 to 000262 and 000266 to 000267. It lists required manuals and bulletins, including Flight Into Known Icing (SB 500-99-004) and the Performance Enhancement Modification (SB 500-99-001). Applicable FAA ADs must also be complied with.

Safety notes
- Before SB 500-34-005, the pitot/AOA system could ice up in some moisture and temperature combinations, causing erroneous angle-of-attack and airspeed information.
- SB 500-34-019 failed probes must be replaced. Probe and static port heaters get hot in testing; allow 10 minutes to cool.
- SB 500-25-009 requires wiring harness routing with at least 0.5 inch clearance from the flight controls.
