Pro feature. Available on your Jet Tracker account.

Manufacturer-published distances at sea level, ISA and reference weight. Not corrected for altitude, temperature, wind or runway condition, takeoff included. Uses the declared LDA as a proxy for effective runway length (RBAC 135.361) and the most favourable threshold in calm air (135.385(b)(1)): on the day, wind may force the shorter threshold. Destination only: does not assess the alternate aerodrome (135.387). Not a substitute for the AFM or the operator's performance analysis. Rule: RBAC 135.385 and 135.398; private flying (RBAC 91) is not factored. Runways: declared distance (LDA) from AISWEB/DECEA (2026-09-05), checkable on each aerodrome chart; where DECEA publishes no declared distance, physical length from OurAirports is used.

History

  1. 2002First flight
  2. 2006 - Primeiro VLJ certificado FAA da era moderna

    Em setembro de 2006 o Eclipse 500 recebeu Type Certificate da FAA, sendo o primeiro Very Light Jet (VLJ) certificado da era moderna, categoria criada para jatos abaixo de 4.535 kg de MTOW destinados a operacao single-pilot e custo de aquisicao reduzido. Marcou o inicio do conceito de 'jet democratization' que tambem incluiu Cessna Mustang (2006) e Embraer Phenom 100 (2008).

    FAA Type Certificate
  3. 2006FAA certification
  4. 2006First deliveries
  5. 2008 - Eclipse Aviation entrou em Chapter 11 em 2008

    Em novembro de 2008 a Eclipse Aviation entrou com pedido de Chapter 11 nos EUA, apos receber 2.700+ encomendas e produzir cerca de 260 unidades, a empresa nao conseguiu sustentar o modelo de negocio com preco de catalogo abaixo do custo real de producao. Milhares de clientes que pagaram depositos de US$ 100-150 mil perderam o dinheiro, marcando uma das maiores falencias da historia da aviacao executiva americana.

    Eclipse Aviation Chapter 11 filing
  6. 2008End of production
  7. 2017 - Renascimento como Eclipse 550 sem sucesso comercial

    Em 2009 a Eclipse Aerospace (nova empresa formada por investidores) adquiriu os ativos e relancou o programa como Eclipse 550 em 2013, com aviônica IS&S, ADS-B, autothrottle e synthetic vision. Apesar das melhorias, vendeu poucas unidades e a producao foi suspensa em 2017. O programa foi posteriormente vendido para AML Global e One Aviation, todas com tentativas frustradas de relancamento.

Curiosities and highlights

Benefits

Custo operacional baixo para a categoria jet

Com fuel burn de apenas 70 gph e custo direto operacional na faixa de US$ 950/hora, o Eclipse 500 e um dos jatos com menor custo operacional ja produzidos, comparavel a turboelice como King Air C90, mas com performance jet (370kt, FL410). Atrai operadores que precisam de velocidade jet com custo proximo ao TBM 700.

Limitations

Cabine extremamente compacta com 4 passageiros

Cabine de 1,27m altura e apenas 16 ft³ de bagagem (versao basica) limita o uso a missoes curtas com 3-4 passageiros e bagagem minima. Sem lavatorio enclosed nativo, conforto fica abaixo de Mustang e Phenom 100. Para operadores que precisam transportar familia + bagagem, e claramente subdimensionado.

Risco de suporte tecnico e pecas no longo prazo

Com a Eclipse Aviation falida em 2008 e os sucessores (Eclipse Aerospace, AML Global, One Aviation) tendo dificuldades comerciais, o suporte de pecas, manutencao e service bulletins ficou fragilizado ao longo dos anos. Compradores precisam diligenciar com cuidado a disponibilidade de pecas, atualizacoes mandatorias e ADs em vigor, risco material para uma decisao de compra de longo prazo.

Curiosities

Mais de 260 unidades produzidas antes da falencia

A Eclipse Aviation entregou aproximadamente 260 unidades do Eclipse 500 entre 2006 e 2008, antes do Chapter 11. Considerando os Eclipse 550 produzidos pela Eclipse Aerospace (2013-2017), o total da familia EA500/550 fica em torno de 280 unidades, bastante baixo comparado ao Cessna Mustang (475) e Embraer Phenom 100 (400+). A maioria opera nos EUA e algumas dezenas na Europa.

2017↗ Eclipse production records

Operadora air-taxi DayJet faliu junto com Eclipse

A DayJet, operadora americana de air-taxi sob demanda fundada em 2002, baseava todo seu modelo de negocio em uma frota de 28 Eclipse 500 e tinha encomendas para mais 1.350 unidades. Cessou operacoes em setembro de 2008, dois meses antes da falencia da Eclipse Aviation, em cascata pela queda dos pedidos de jatos. O caso virou estudo de caso classico em aviacao sobre os riscos de modelos VLJ-dependentes.
