Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing registration N36FD is an Eclipse 500 (EA500) built in 2008 and assigned serial number 000137. Publicly available records for this specific airframe do not record a detailed ownership timeline beyond its United States registration; ownership timeline not published. Operator and home base information is not published in the provided data. Notable registry actions and valuation or condition history for this individual ship are not published in the supplied dataset.
This airframe is configured in a typical six-place executive layout appropriate for single-pilot operation with flexibility for club seating or club + belted lavatory options depending on specific fitment choices. Avionics common to the EA500 family are the Avio / Avio NG integrated flight management suites; specific fitment or retrofits to N36FD may vary by airframe and over its service life. Typical mission profiles for an Eclipse 500 of this configuration include short to mid-range executive transport and on-demand charter flights within the aircraft's 1,125 nm range and high cruise speed of 370 knots, enabling rapid point-to-point regional trips. Maintenance considerations for this airframe would follow twin-engine light-jet practices with attention to PW610F engine line items and any airframe-specific avionics retrofits or supplemental type certificates applied to the individual serial number.
The Eclipse 500 (EA500) occupies the entry-level very light jet niche offering high cruise speeds and relatively low operating costs for its class, powered by twin PW610F turbofans producing 900 lbf each. Competing models in the same market segment historically include other VLJs and light business jets, where buyer and charter demand favors low-hour airframes with proven avionics and clear maintenance records. Resale and maintenance considerations for an EA500 like N36FD hinge on engine program status, avionics configuration (Avio/Avio NG commonality), and documented maintenance and alteration history for serial 000137.
