N263CA

This entry covers the specific Eclipse 550 airframe bearing US registration N263CA, manufactured in 2012 with serial number 550-0266. The airframe is recorded as owned by EUROAVIATION INC TRUSTEE, a corporate owner based in Kematen, Austria, while retention of a United States registration is reflected in the registry. Ownership by a European trustee while remaining on the US registry is a notable administrative detail for this airframe. Valuation and public condition assessments for this specific serial were not published in the provided data.

The airframe is certified for a six-seat cabin configuration: Certified 6 seats (operator configurations vary), with operator-specific layouts possible within that certification. Typical Eclipse 550 operator equipment for this airframe includes the IS&S integrated flight management system listed as IS&S IFMS (integrated flight management system) — typical Eclipse 550 fit, supporting the light twinjet’s advanced avionics suite for single-pilot operations in many user configurations. Range and cruise performance position this aircraft for short international hops and regional point-to-point missions, while the US registration combined with ownership by EUROAVIATION INC TRUSTEE in Kematen, Austria suggests cross-border operational or ownership arrangements; specific route logs and maintenance status were not published.

The airframe is an example of the Eclipse 550 family (EA500 derivative) produced by Eclipse Aerospace Inc, representing a very light twinjet niche focused on low operating costs and compact, high-speed regional capability. With a cruise of 375 kts, a 1,125 nm range and a 41,000 ft ceiling, the type competes with other VLJ and entry-level light jets for owner-operators and small charter operators. Typical market considerations for this model include avionics upgrades, engine program status for the PW610F-A powerplants, and the effect of owner/operator configuration on resale value; specific resale or maintenance records for N263CA were not published.
