N288JR

This entry describes the Eclipse Aerospace Inc-built airframe registered as N288JR, a 2014 EA500 with serial number 550-0274. The airframe is owned by DESTINATION SKY LLC, an LLC based in Marco Island, FL, US, and is registered in the United States. The record indicates a single corporate owner on file and registration activity showing U.S. civil registry; no public valuation or formal condition report is published for this specific airframe. The aircraft's documented operator/home base corresponds to the owner's location in Marco Island, Florida.

The airframe is fitted in a typical Eclipse small-cabin arrangement with a 5-6 place executive layout and a short 12 ft cabin, configured for light corporate or owner-flown missions. Avionics are listed as Avio (IS&S) / Avio NG, supporting the EA500's integrated flightdeck capabilities for single-pilot or two-pilot operations in the light jet category. Typical mission profiles for this airframe type include short to mid-range point-to-point corporate trips within the continental U.S., business shuttles from Florida bases, and personal transportation; the aircraft's range and cruise speed support regional hops and economy-minded light-jet operation. Maintenance considerations reflect the twin-engine turbofan configuration and small-cabin interior, with operator-based upkeep likely centered at or near the Marco Island area.

The EA500 occupies the small, very-light-jet niche, offering twin PW610F-A powerplants and performance suited to owner/operators and light corporate charter. With a cruise near 335 kts and a service ceiling of 41,000 ft, the model competes in mission profile with other very light jets and light-cabin turbofan types, appealing to buyers seeking compact executive transport with lower operating costs than larger business jets. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe emphasize airframe hours, engine cycles, avionics updates (notably the Avio/Avio NG fit), and the limited cabin size when assessing charter versus private-owner demand.
