RADAR ESTIMATE
What N197AR 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 N197AR's listing-based estimate and widens the range to match. An estimate, not an appraisal.

RESEARCH NOTES
About N197AR
Compiled with AI assistance from the public sources listed below, November 2025. Not checked against the aircraft's logbooks.
Overview
This entry covers airframe N197AR, an Eclipse EA500 built in 2008 with serial number 000114. The airframe is owned by Tak Aviation LLC, a corporation based in Wilmington, DE, US, and is registered in the US.
Operations & Cabin
The cabin of N197AR is configured in a typical 4-5 place executive layout (1 pilot + 4 passengers), consistent with its role as a light executive transport. Avionics are listed as Avio NG / Avio IFMS (upgradeable), indicating an integrated flight management and information suite with provisions for modern upgrades. Operated from a corporate base in Wilmington, DE, US, the aircraft’s performance figures, 335 kts cruise and a 1,125 nm range, make it suitable for short to medium executive missions and point-to-point regional travel. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe reflect its twin PW610F-A engine configuration and the need to account for avionics lifecycle if upgrades to the Avio suite are pursued.
Model & Market Context
As an Eclipse EA500 airframe, N197AR presents a combination of modest acquisition value ($900,000) and performance credentials (notably 335 kts cruise and 41,000 ft ceiling) that inform buyer and operator decisions. The five-seat cabin layout and the twin PW610F-A engines define its operational niche for owners seeking compact executive transport with respectable range (1,125 nm). Resale and maintenance considerations for this unit will hinge on the condition of its engines, possible Avio system upgrades, and the aircraft’s documented ownership and corporate registration under Tak Aviation LLC.
