N435NF

This entry documents airframe N435NF, an Eclipse EA500 built in 2008 by Eclipse Aviation Corp, serial number 000189. The airframe is recorded as owned by PAPA CHARLIE LLC of Fort Myers, FL, US, and operates on the US civil registry. The airframe’s identity, build year and serial provide a discrete trace for maintenance and regulatory records, while the listed ownership ties the airplane to a single-entity operator based in Southwest Florida.

The airframe is configured with a typical executive interior described as a 5–6 place executive cabin (typical club/forward cockpit arrangement) and includes approximately 16 cu ft of baggage capacity. Avionics are fitted with the IS&S Avio (Avio/Avio NG) avionics suite, supporting the EA500’s light-jet mission sets and crew workload for short- to mid-range trips. Based at Fort Myers, FL, US under PAPA CHARLIE LLC, its operational profile would commonly include regional business travel, owner-operator point-to-point hops, and light charter work within the continental United States. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe center on the twin PW610F-A turbofan powerplants and the integrated Avio avionics architecture.

The Eclipse EA500 occupies the very light jet niche with performance characterized by a cruise around 335 kts, a range near 1,125 nm, and a service ceiling of 41,000 ft—attributes that define its appeal for owner-operators seeking jet speeds and cockpit access in a compact airframe. With seating for 6, the type targets short- to medium-range executive missions rather than larger-cabin long-haul transport. Market considerations for this airframe typically emphasize powerplant support for the PW610F-A engines, the avionics upgrade path for IS&S Avio suites, and the implications of age and serial-specific maintenance history for resale or continued private operation.
