N550SE

The airframe bearing tail number N550SE is an Eclipse 550 (EA550) built in 2016 with serial number 550-1007. Delivered in 2016, this specific Eclipse 550 is registered in the US and is owned by Kd Air LLC, a San Diego–based limited liability company; its operator/home base is recorded as San Diego, CA, US. The airframe carries a current indicative value of $2,895,000, reflecting market factors for late-model very light jets of this series. No additional public registry actions or historical owner changes are recorded beyond the listed ownership and registration details.

The airframe is configured in a typical Eclipse 550 executive arrangement, featuring a 5–6 place executive layout (typical for Eclipse 550) that supports owner/operator or charter missions with seating for up to 6 occupants. Avionics installed or commonly fitted on 550-series aircraft include the IS&S IFMS (integrated flight management system), with autothrottle and synthetic-vision options frequently added to enhance situational awareness and pilot workload reduction. Typical mission profiles for this airframe are short- to medium-range executive trips from its San Diego base, leveraging the aircraft’s cruise speed of 375 kts and ferry/mission range of 1,125 nm. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe follow standard Eclipse 550 schedules and Pratt & Whitney Canada PW610F engine support practices.

The Eclipse 550 (EA550) occupies the very light jet niche, offering compact, efficient twin-engine performance with a certified ceiling of 41,000 ft and maximum cruise speeds near 375 kts. Competing models in the segment include other VLJs and light business jets that emphasize low direct operating cost and owner-pilot capability. Buyer and charter demand for a 2016 airframe such as N550SE typically reflects its avionics fit (IS&S IFMS, autothrottle/synthetic vision options) and engine program status; these factors materially influence maintenance planning and resale valuation in the secondary market. Resale considerations for this airframe include fleet pedigree, installed option set, and the documented ownership and US registration.
