N279E

This airframe, registered as N279E, is a 2008-build Eclipse 500 (EA500) with serial number 000241. It was built by Eclipse Aviation and is associated in lineage with Eclipse Aerospace / One Aviation as the corporate entities tied to the model's production and support lifecycle. The aircraft carries a US registration and specific operator or home-base details are Not published. No publicly reported notable registry actions or transfers are provided in the supplied data.

The airframe is outfitted in a compact executive cabin specified as a standard 5 seats layout with a maximum of six, offering approximately a 12 ft cabin length consistent with EA500 interior dimensions. Avionics are the factory-common Avio NG / Avio Next Generation suite, which supports basic two-pilot and single-pilot IFR operations typical of this class. Typical missions for this specific EA500 reflect the model’s design intent: short- to medium-haul executive transport and on-demand charter sectors within the aircraft’s 1,125 nm range and cruise speeds near 335 kts. Maintenance considerations for this particular serial include those typical of early EA500s—operator-specific records and support channel status are Not published for this tail.

The Eclipse 500 (EA500) occupies the very light jet niche as a compact, twin-engine entry with high single-crew capability, fast cruise and a 41,000 ft service ceiling. It competes functionally with other VLJs and small light business jets where buyers prioritize speed, operating efficiency and low acquisition cost over large cabin volume. Demand among owner-operators and small charter operators is driven by the type’s fuel-efficient engines and compact cabin; resale and maintenance considerations often centre on avionics standardization (here Avio NG) and availability of OEM or aftermarket support tied to the Eclipse corporate history.
