N48KY

This entry describes airframe N48KY, an Eclipse EA500 built in 2008 with manufacturer serial number 000178. The airframe is recorded as owned by N48KY LLC, an LLC based in Medina, OH, US, which serves as the operator/home base for this airframe. Registry status is US registration; no other ownership transfers or notable registry actions are published in the supplied data. The airframe is valued at $1,300,000, reflecting market indicators provided for this specific machine.

The cabin of this Eclipse EA500 is configured in a 1+4 executive layout with four-place club seating typical for this airframe, supporting single-pilot or light two-crew executive missions. Avionics fit includes Avio IFMS (IS&S) and Avio NG (IFMS v2.x variants commonly installed), indicating integrated flight management and systems interfaces consistent with the model’s typical equipment fit. Typical operations for this airframe profile include short-to-medium range point-to-point executive transport within its 1,125 nm range and cruise at 335 kts, often operated from its listed base in Medina, OH, US. Maintenance considerations are driven by the twin PW610F-A engines and the avionics suite lineage; specific maintenance history for this serial is not published in the supplied data.

The Eclipse EA500 occupies a light twinjet niche prioritizing efficient short-to-mid-range executive transport with a pressurized cabin and high single-engine-performance cruise capability up to 41,000 ft. Competing considerations in the market include buyer demand for six-place light jets with low acquisition values relative to larger business jets; the stated value of $1,300,000 for this airframe reflects that positioning. Resale and maintenance considerations for this serial center on the health of the PW610F-A engines, the avionics generation installed (Avio IFMS / Avio NG), and overall owner/operator support track for Eclipse-built airframes.
