N563MJ

This airframe, registered as N563MJ, is an Eclipse Eclipse EA500 built in 2007 with manufacturer serial 000027. The aircraft is owned by STB AVIATION LLC (an LLC based in Solon, IA) and operates under United States registration; its current documented ownership is with a private LLC located in Iowa. Built by Eclipse Aviation Corp, this example retains the factory airframe and has been outfitted with upgraded interior and avionics packages noted in the registry entry. Notable registry actions are limited to its continued US registration and recorded corporate ownership; no public record of major ownership transfers or exportation is listed in the supplied data.

The cabin of this specific airframe is arranged in a 6-seat executive layout and features an upgraded "'550-style' interior" finished in grey leather, indicating attention to executive comfort and a modernization of the original Eclipse trim. Avionics as-equipped are listed as Avio IFMS (Avio NG) / Avio IFMS v2.9.6 "Plus", supporting integrated flight management, engine monitoring and typical light-jet glass capabilities for crew workload reduction. Typical mission profiles for this aircraft, given its range and cruise, include short- to mid-range executive hops, business travel between regional hubs and owner-operated repositioning flights; operations would generally be conducted from the owner's base in Solon, IA and surrounding regional airports. Maintenance considerations for this airframe focus on the two PW610F-A turbofan engines and the avionics software baseline specified.

The Eclipse EA500 occupies the very light jet niche, offering single-pilot capability, low operating weights and cost-sensitive owner/operators seeking higher speed than turboprops. With a cruise of 335 kts and a service ceiling of 41,000 ft, it competes with other VLJ-type entrants and light jets in owner-flown and small charter markets. Market and resale factors for this airframe would include inspection status of the PW610F-A engines, condition of the upgraded '550-style' interior, and the installed Avio IFMS v2.9.6 "Plus" avionics — all determinative in buyer demand among owner-operators and small charter firms.
