N444RL

This entry covers airframe N444RL, an Eclipse EA500 (Eclipse 500) built in 2007 with serial number 000040. The airframe is registered in the US and has been owned by A-RON RESOURCES LLC, an LLC based in Santa Monica, CA, US, which appears as the on-record proprietor and operator/home base contact. Registry records indicate standard U.S. civil registration for a fixed-wing multi-engine executive jet; no other ownership transfers or notable liens are published in the supplied data. Condition and valuation summaries are not published beyond basic configuration and equipment details provided for this specific airframe.

The on-board cabin of N444RL is configured in a 5–6 seat layout typical of the Eclipse EA500 family, generally arranged as one pilot plus four passengers in an executive layout, yielding flexible seating for light business missions. Avionics fit for this airframe is listed as Avio (IS&S) / Avio NG, supporting the aircraft’s glass-cockpit systems and enabling typical single-pilot IFR operations within the aircraft’s performance envelope. With a cruise of 335 kts and a range of 1,125 nm, typical missions for this airframe include short to mid-range business trips, intrastate and regional hops from its Santa Monica-based operator, and point-to-point charters where compact size and operating efficiency are priorities. Maintenance considerations align with the EA500 fleet norms, including monitoring of the PW610F-A turboshaft engines and the integrated Avio avionics lifecycle.

The Eclipse EA500 (Eclipse 500) occupies the very light jet niche, offering jet performance for small executive groups and owner-operators seeking lower acquisition and operating costs compared with larger light jets. With a service ceiling of 41,000 ft, twin PW610F-A engines producing 900 lbf each provide adequate climb and cruise capability for short-field and airspace-flexible operations. Competing models in the segment historically include other VLJs and small turbofan business jets; resale and maintenance considerations typically focus on avionics upgrades such as the Avio NG, engine time, and airframe cycle history when assessing market demand.
