N34DG

This entry covers a specific airframe identified by tail number N34DG, a 2008 production example of the Eclipse EA500 built by Eclipse Aviation Corp with serial number 000248. The aircraft is registered in the US and is documented as owned by UPWARD AVIATION LLC, an LLC based in Woodleaf, NC, US. The airframe is listed with a valuation of $900,000 and operates in the fixed-wing multi-engine category, indicating its role in light jet ownership or charter service. Maintenance and registry records specific to ferry flights or major inspections are not published beyond the current ownership and registration data.

The airframe configured as a 6-seat light jet supports short to mid-range missions typical of owner-flown or on-demand charter operations, with an operational cruise of 335 kts and a maximum practical range near 1,125 nm. Cabin layout for the type typically accommodates four to five passengers in the main cabin with a belted lavatory or baggage area, and this specific EA500 would reflect that six-place configuration in its registration data. Avionics fitment is not published for this serial but EA500s commonly carry integrated flight decks suited to single-pilot operations; operator UPWARD AVIATION LLC bases the aircraft in Woodleaf, NC, US, from which regional trips and owner transport are consistent missions. Maintenance considerations for this airframe will center on the twin PW610F-A engines and the airframe’s certification in the fixed-wing multi-engine category.

The Eclipse EA500 family occupies the entry-level very light jet niche, offering modest acquisition cost and efficient turbofan propulsion like the Pratt & Whitney Canada PW610F-A pair found on this airframe. Competing models in its market segment include other VLJs and light jets where buyers prioritize low operating weights, single-pilot capability, and compact cabins; this serial’s listed value of $900,000 positions it competitively on the secondary market. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe will hinge on engine TBOs, avionics updates, and the airframe’s hours and cycles, with buyer demand reflecting the broader appetite for cost-effective owner-operated light jets.
