N22NJ

This entry describes airframe N22NJ, an Eclipse 500 light jet built in 2007 with manufacturer serial number 000022. The airframe is a production EA500 from Eclipse Aviation/Eclipse Aerospace and is registered in the United States. The recorded owner is FLYING CRUSHER LLC, an LLC based in Hudson, NH, US, which appears as the operator/home base in recent registry entries. The airframe’s documented market valuation is $1,300,000, and public records note standard registry actions consistent with U.S. civil registration and operator listing.

The cabin of N22NJ is fitted in a typical 1+4 executive club layout accommodating 5–6 pax, consistent with many EA500 interiors optimized for short to medium business missions. Avionics installations reported for this airframe include IS&S Avio systems, with Avio/Avio NG variants reported in registry or equipment notes; this affects flightdeck workflow and aftermarket support. Typical missions for this airframe type include point-to-point regional business trips within the aircraft’s 1,125 nm range at cruise speeds near 335 kts, operating to and from the owner’s base in Hudson, NH, US. Maintenance considerations reflect the twin PW610F-A engine type and the EA500’s airframe-specific inspection schedule, with value and operational readiness influenced by avionics variant and completed service history.

The EA500 (Eclipse 500) occupies the very light jet segment, offering single-pilot capable operations with efficient twin-engine performance and a high IFR ceiling of 41,000 ft. Competing models in the market niche include other VLJs and light-cabin jets that prioritize low operating costs and short-trip economics. Buyer and charter demand for individual EA500 airframes depends heavily on engine and avionics status, serial-specific history (this airframe is 000022), and documented ownership/registration; these factors also drive resale considerations and aftermarket support costs.
