N317SA

This entry describes airframe N317SA, an Eclipse EA550 built in 2014 with serial number 550-0277. The aircraft is owned by ADAMS STEVEN J, an individual based in Port Saint Lucie, FL, US, and is registered in the US. Registry and valuation records list the airframe at an estimated value of $1,600,000, and its operational status has been associated with private/individual ownership rather than a corporate fleet. Maintenance and registry history specific actions are not published beyond the ownership and registration details provided.

The cabin configuration for this specific EA550 is listed as 6 seats, typically arranged as 1 pilot + 4 passenger executive layout but capable of accommodating up to six depending on owner configuration; the entry reflects this flexibility. Avionics on the airframe are the IFMS/Avio suite by Innovative Solutions & Support, marketed as Avio IFMS with optional synthetic vision, TAWS, ADS-B and optional auto-throttle on 550-series installations. Typical mission profiles for this airframe type include short-to-medium range executive transport consistent with a 1,125 nm range and cruise of 375 kts, operating from the owner’s base in Port Saint Lucie, FL, US for private or owner-flown missions. Maintenance considerations for this specific aircraft follow the EA550 program and engine support for the PW610F-A engines, with owner-based upkeep reflecting individual operation.

The Eclipse EA550, exemplified by N317SA, occupies the very light to light jet niche emphasizing efficiency, lower acquisition cost and owner-operator appeal; the example here carries a reported valuation of $1,600,000. Its twin PW610F-A turbofans and 41,000 ft ceiling support typical light jet performance metrics competitive with other small-cabin jets in owner-flown and small charter markets. Buyer demand for EA550 airframes often focuses on operating economics, avionics fit such as the Avio IFMS suite, and lifecycle costs including engine and avionics support; these considerations directly affect maintenance planning and resale prospects for a 2014-built airframe like 550-0277.
