N268EM

This airframe, registered as N268EM, is an Eclipse EA500 built in 2013 with serial number 550-0268. It is recorded as owned by TOTAL ECLIPSE II LLC, an LLC based in Lamar, CO, US, and is registered in the US. The aircraft’s manufacturer is listed as Eclipse Aerospace Inc and its single documented ownership by the LLC is the principal notable registry action in the available data. Maintenance status and valuation are not published in the provided dataset.

The cabin of this Eclipse EA500 is outfitted in a compact VLJ executive layout with 1 + 4 executive seating, configured for short-leg business missions or owner-flown operations. Avionics fit is an Avio NG (IS&S) / Avio-type suite, consistent with EA500 family installations, providing integrated flight displays and systems suited to single-pilot IFR operation. Based in Lamar, Colorado, the operator profile for N268EM would typically include regional business hops, light charter, or owner-operator leisure travel within the aircraft’s 1,125 nm range and high cruise speed of 335 kts. Given the twin PW610F-A engines and typical EA500 systems, maintenance considerations focus on turbine engine monitoring, avionics updates for the Avio suite, and airframe inspections appropriate to a 2013 manufacturing date.

The Eclipse EA500 occupies the very light jet (VLJ) niche as a six-seat, low-cost turbofan twin focused on owner/operators and very light charter demand; the model is noted for relatively high cruise speeds and modest operating economics compared with larger light jets. With a 41,000 ft ceiling and 335 kts cruise, the EA500 competes with other VLJs and entry-level light jets where short-field performance and owner-pilot single-pilot certification are valued. Market factors affecting resale and maintenance include the availability of support from Eclipse Aerospace legacy supply chains, the two PW610F-A engines’ parts and overhaul cycles, and avionics modernization for Avio NG-equipped examples such as N268EM.
