N500EM

This entry covers airframe N500EM, an Eclipse EA500 (Eclipse 500) built in 2007 with serial number 000026. The airframe is registered in the United States and is held by ECLIPSE JET PARTNERS LLC, an LLC based in Charlotte, NC, United States; this ownership is the principal, publicly recorded operator/home base association for the aircraft. The airframe is equipped and maintained as a light twin-jet executive transport and is listed with an indicative market value of $1,500,000; no other registry actions or transfers are published in the provided dataset.

The cabin of N500EM conforms to the typical Eclipse EA500 executive arrangement, a 4–6 place executive club layout with limited internal baggage volume (approximately 16 cu ft) and configuration suitable for corporate transport or owner-flown missions. The airframe is certified for single-pilot operations, noted in the documentation as single-pilot capable cert, which supports owner-operator use and light charter employment under appropriate regulatory frameworks. Avionics aboard are from the Avio family—commonly Avio / AvioNG IFMS installations—providing integrated flight management and systems monitoring typical of the type. Typical missions for this airframe would include regional point-to-point flights within its 1,125 nm range, business shuttles from Charlotte, NC, and time-sensitive transport profiles at cruise speeds near 370 kts.

The Eclipse EA500 family occupies a light twin-jet niche offering relatively high cruise speeds and jet performance to small owner-operators and fractional/charter fleets seeking low-seat-count executive transports. With twin Pratt & Whitney Canada PW610F engines rated at 900 lbf each and a 41,000 ft ceiling, the model competes with other very light jets for short-to-medium range corporate missions. Buyer and charter demand tends to focus on low operating cost and single-pilot capability, while maintenance and resale considerations include avionics variant commonality—Avio/AvioNG IFMS—and the market valuation level exemplified by this airframe’s $1,500,000 estimate.
