Model & Market Context
The airframe N550DM is an Eclipse EA550 built in 2016 with serial number 550-1009. It is currently registered in the United States and registered to Direct Jet LLC, an LLC based in Redwood Shores, CA, US. The operator/home base is operated from the owner's listed location in Redwood Shores, and registry records indicate standard U.S. civil registration actions consistent with private corporate ownership. The airframe's market valuation is listed at $1,900,000, reflecting its configuration and equipment fit for light executive transport.
This specific EA550 is outfitted in a typical executive six-place layout with a four-place club cabin and two forward belted seats, providing a standard corporate interior for short to medium international missions. The installed avionics suite is an Avio / IS&S integrated flight deck (IFMS) including synthetic vision, enhanced vision and provisions for optional autothrottles, supporting single-pilot capable operation in many regulatory environments. Typical operations for this airframe would center on owner-operator or on-demand charter flights within the aircraft's 1,125 nm range and at cruise speeds near 375 knots, operating from coastal and regional business airports near the listed owner base. Maintenance considerations follow light twin turbofan practice for the Pratt & Whitney Canada PW610F-A engines and avionics common to the EA550 subfleet.
The Eclipse EA550 occupies the light twin turbofan niche aimed at owners seeking high-speed point-to-point travel with modest operating economics and a small executive cabin. With a ceiling of 41,000 ft and cruise near 375 knots, the EA550 competes for buyers and charter operators valuing speed and runway performance in a compact footprint. Demand among owner-operators and small charter firms is influenced by equipment standardization—such as integrated IFMS with synthetic and enhanced vision—and lifecycle maintenance of twin PW610F-A engines. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect its 2016 build date, equipment fit, and the documented corporate ownership by Direct Jet LLC.
