N224ZQ

This entry covers airframe N224ZQ, an Eclipse 500 (EA500) built in 2008 with manufacturer's serial 000162. The airframe is registered in the United States and is held by JZACE #1 LLC, an LLC based in Edinburg, TX, US, which serves as the operator/home base for the asset. No additional registry actions are published beyond its current ownership; the airframe is valued at $1,263,711, reflecting its compact very light jet configuration and market position at the time of valuation.

The aircraft features a compact VLJ executive cabin in a 5–6 place layout providing close-range executive transport typical of very light jets. Operated from Edinburg, Texas under ownership of JZACE #1 LLC, its mission profile would typically include short to medium regional trips within the 1,280 nm radius at high single-engine-turbofan cruise speeds near 375 kts and high-altitude capability to 41,000 ft. Cabin amenities are consistent with a small executive configuration rather than larger corporate jets; specific avionics and interior appointments are not published for this airframe. Maintenance considerations for this serial include systems and engine support aligned to the Eclipse 500 fleet and the Pratt & Whitney Canada PW610F-A engines, as reflected in lifecycle and resale attention.

The Eclipse 500 (EA500) occupies the very light jet niche as a small, economical twin-engine platform aimed at owner-operators and light charter work, offering performance such as a cruise near 375 kts and service ceiling to 41,000 ft. Competing models historically include other VLJs and light jets that prioritize low trip costs and small crew/occupant counts; the six-seat cabin and twin PW610F-A engines characterize its operational economics. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect its serial production era (2008), specific engine type, and the valuation of $1,263,711, which buyers reference against fleet-supported service and parts availability.
