RADAR ESTIMATE

What N179TD is worth, and where it’s heading.

Radar's value model doesn't cover the Eclipse 500 on its own yet, so this borrows the Embraer Phenom 300/300E curve, scales it to N179TD's listing-based estimate and widens the range to match. An estimate, not an appraisal.

RESEARCH NOTES

About N179TD

Compiled with AI assistance from the public sources listed below, November 2025. Not checked against the aircraft's logbooks.

Tail N179TD Overview

N179TD is a 2007 Eclipse EA500 (MSN 000074) registered to Elm Grove Pipeline LLC of Alpine, WY. The airframe carries Pratt & Whitney Canada PW610F-A turbofan engines (900 lbf each) and is listed on FAA-derived public records with Mode S hex A13C49; the current FAA/registry-derived certificate issue date is 2022-04-18 and the original airworthiness date is 2007-10-28.

Operations & Configuration

The aircraft is marketed as a Special-Edition / refurbished EA500 with an IFMS v2.8 (IS&S) avionics fit and a 6-place LX-style executive interior (550-style Hill Aero refurbishment noted in listings). Recent sale/listing material states total time ~1,071.7 hours and cycles ~889, with completed 24-month/300-hr and 48-month/1,200-hr inspections in 2024.

Model Context

The Eclipse EA500 is a very-light twin-jet optimized for high cruise speed (high-speed cruise ~370-375 ktas) and NBAA/IFR missions out to roughly 1,100-1,300 nm at FL410. It competes as an entry-level light jet with low fuel burn and relatively low acquisition cost on the used market; used EA500s commonly trade in the low-to-mid single-million dollar range depending on options, hours, and upgrades. Key technical limits: service ceiling 41,000 ft, fuel capacity ~250-254 USG, and two PW610F-A engines (900 lbf each).
