N55TJ

This write-up concerns the specific airframe bearing tail number N55TJ, an Eclipse EA500 built in 2008 with serial number 000208. The aircraft is owned by Collier Companies Aviation LLC, an LLC based in Gainesville, FL, US, and is registered in the US. The airframe is equipped and maintained as an Eclipse 500 family example, carrying an estimated market valuation of $1,200,000; no separate history of notable registry events is provided in the supplied data.

The cabin of this Eclipse EA500 is configured for 6 occupants, consistent with the six-seat executive light-jet layout typical of the model; individual seating arrangement and finish level for this airframe are not further specified. Avionics fit is not published in the supplied dataset, but operational performance supports typical missions such as short- to medium-range executive transport within the aircraft’s 1,125 nm range and high-speed cruise at 375 kts. Based at Gainesville, FL, US under ownership of Collier Companies Aviation LLC, the aircraft’s operational profile would commonly include point-to-point regional hops and business charters where runway performance and speed are prioritized. Maintenance considerations align with twin-gearbox turbofan operation of Pratt & Whitney Canada PW610F-A engines and the Eclipse family’s assigned inspection cycles; specific maintenance status for this serial is not provided.

The Eclipse EA500 occupies the light, entry-level very light jet niche, offering transcontinental-connector ranges up to 1,125 nm and high-speed cruise near 375 kts. Competing models in this segment often include other VLJs and light business jets with similar seating and performance; resale and buyer demand are strongly influenced by engine support, avionics updates, and overall time-in-service. With a reported valuation of $1,200,000 for this airframe, resale considerations hinge on maintenance records, engine cycles on the PW610F-A powerplants, and avionics retrofit history, none of which are detailed in the provided data.
