N375SH

The airframe bearing registration N375SH is an Eclipse EA500 built in 2008 with serial number 000256, recorded as owned by VLB INC (a corporation based in Sevierville, TN, US). The airframe is registered in the US and appears in civil registry records as registered to VLB INC in Sevierville, Tennessee. Valuation records list the airframe at $1,200,000, reflecting its condition and market position for late-model very light jets. No additional operators or changes of ownership are recorded in the supplied data.

This specific EA500 is configured for pilot plus a four- to five-passenger club seating arrangement with a maximum seating capacity of six and includes a small refreshment center; baggage volume is approximately ~16 cu ft. The installed avionics package is an IS&S Avio system, with common retrofits to Avio NG noted for the model family, supporting modern flight management and situational awareness for single-pilot operations. Typical missions for this airframe would be short-to-medium range business travel within its 1,125 nm radius at cruise speeds near 335 kts, often operated from the owner’s base in Sevierville, Tennessee. Maintenance considerations for this airframe follow multi-engine fixed-wing procedures and PW600-series engine support requirements; the avionics retrofit history may affect avionics maintenance and upgrade planning.

The Eclipse EA500 occupies the very light jet segment, offering high cruise speed and a relatively high ceiling for its class, making it competitive for regional point-to-point business travel. Typical competitors include other VLJs and light jets that prioritize single-pilot operations, fuel efficiency, and lower acquisition cost. Market demand for this airframe type tends to favor owner-operators and small charter fleets; resale and maintenance considerations hinge on engine time, avionics standardization (IS&S Avio vs Avio NG), and the aircraft’s recorded condition as reflected in its $1,200,000 valuation.
