N50EJ

This article covers the individual Eclipse EA500 airframe bearing tail number N50EJ, a 2007-build example with serial 000087. The airframe was manufactured by Eclipse Aviation Corp and is recorded in US civil registration as an owner-operated aircraft owned by 83GT LLC, an Alpharetta, Georgia–based limited liability company. Registered and operated from Alpharetta, GA, this airframe appears in sales and listing summaries with a stated market valuation of $1,200,000. Registry and sales references list the airframe’s configuration and avionics package as noted in available sales/advertisement materials.

The cabin of this specific EA500 is fitted in an executive 5–6 place layout typical of the EA500 executive fit, providing a small, executive-oriented interior for pilot and passenger transport. Avionics as noted on sales and aircraft summary pages present an Avio / Avio NG style suite with a Garmin GTN 625 remote navigation head and dual Garmin transponders, a mixed OEM/aftermarket fit that supports contemporary navigation and surveillance needs. Typical mission profiles for this airframe, given its range and cruise speed, center on regional business travel and owner/operator executive transport within the continental United States, with Alpharetta, GA serving as the operational base for the listed owner. Maintenance and operational considerations for this individual airframe reflect the twin PW610F-A turbofan powerplant type and the EA500’s light-jet systems, with component support and inspections governed by common Eclipse EA500 service practices.

The Eclipse EA500 occupies a light very light jet niche built around efficient twin turbofan propulsion and low operating weights, offering high single-flight speeds and modest regional range. Competing models in its era were other entry-level VLJs and light jets that balance acquisition cost against operating capability; the EA500’s cabin and avionics configuration influence buyer and charter demand. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe are driven by engine support for the Pratt & Whitney Canada PW610F-A series, avionics retrofits such as Garmin additions, and the airframe’s recorded condition and ownership history as reflected by its valuation.
