N500FB

This entry describes airframe N500FB, an Eclipse EA500 built in 2008 with serial number 000185. The airframe is owned by the corporation E-185 LLC, based in Newport Beach, CA, US, and is registered in the US. The airframe's provenance is straightforward: in corporate ownership with E-185 LLC since its registry entry, and records indicate standard executive configuration and avionics retrofitted at manufacture with the Avio NG suite.

The aircraft is fitted with a typical 5-6 place executive cabin (typical) layout, accommodating up to six occupants in an executive configuration. Avionics are supplied as the Avio NG (IS&S) integrated flight deck, a factory-standard fit on many EA500s that supports single-pilot IFR operations in the light jet class. Typical missions for this airframe include short to mid-range corporate point-to-point trips within the continental United States, leveraging a cruise speed of 335 kts and a practical range of 1,125 nm from its Newport Beach base. Maintenance considerations for this individual EA500 align with the fleet norms for the model, including twin PW610F-A engine support and airframe service schedules appropriate to a 2008-built light jet in corporate use.

The Eclipse EA500 occupies the light, owner-operated twinjet niche, offering high cruise speed and a 41,000 ft service ceiling for efficient regional cross-country missions. Competing aircraft in this segment typically include other entry-level very light or light business jets that offer similar seating and mission capability. Buyer and charter demand for an EA500 like N500FB is influenced by engine support for the PW610F-A, the presence of the Avio NG avionics suite, and the aircraft’s corporate ownership history; resale and maintenance considerations focus on avionics condition, engine hours, and adherence to scheduled inspections for a 2008 airframe.
