N23FK

This entry covers airframe N23FK, a 2008-built Eclipse EA500 with serial number 000166 manufactured by ECLIPSE AVIATION CORP. The airframe is held by owner EUROAVIATION INC TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee based in Kematen, Austria, while the aircraft carries a US registration; registered in the United States is a notable registry status given the owner's Austrian location. Valuation records indicate a market value of $1,400,000, reflecting its age and configuration for executive use. No additional operator history or previous registrations are published beyond the trustee ownership.

The subject airframe is configured in a 6-place executive layout intended for executive transport and short-to-medium international hops consistent with its 1,125 nm range and 335 kts cruise speed. Based on the owner's location in Kematen, Austria and the aircraft's US registration, typical mission profiles for this specific jet likely include cross-border business trips and point-to-point charters within Europe and transatlantic positioning legs when required. Cabin and operational considerations center on the six-place executive arrangement, with operator maintenance and regulatory compliance influenced by the disconnect between owner domicile and U.S. registry. No specific avionics suite or unique cabin amenities are published for this airframe.

The Eclipse EA500 occupies the very light jet segment as a fixed-wing multi-engine civil aircraft, marketed for six-seat executive travel with modest operating costs relative to larger business jets. Powered by twin PW610F-A engines producing 950 lbf each, its performance—335 kts cruise and 41,000 ft ceiling—targets owners seeking efficient short-haul speed and access to smaller fields. Competing models in this niche typically include other VLJs and light business jets; resale and maintenance considerations for this 2008 serial 000166 reflect age-related inspection cycles, availability of parts, and market demand for six-place executive-configured jets.
