N73EJ

This entry covers the specific airframe N73EJ, a 2007 build of the Eclipse EA500 with manufacturer serial number 000073. The airframe is registered to TAK AVIATION LLC, a corporation based in Wilmington, DE, US, and carries US registration. The aircraft is powered by factory-specified engines and has been valued in recent records at $1,100,000, reflecting market condition and airframe age for this model. No other public ownership transfers or notable registry actions are documented beyond the listed corporate registration.

The configured cabin for N73EJ is laid out as 1 (pilot) + 4–5 passenger executive layout (typical club/forward-facing mix); up to 6 seats certified, supporting small corporate or owner-flown missions. Avionics are reported as IS&S Avio (Avio/Avio NG variants reported), a modern integrated flightdeck suite suited to the aircraft’s light-jet operational profile. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include short-to-medium range business trips within its 1,125 nm range at cruise speeds near 375 kts, enabling efficient point-to-point regional transportation. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe follow the EA500 fleet norms, with twin PW610F-A engines and executive interior systems requiring programmatic upkeep consistent with corporate ownership.

The Eclipse EA500 occupies the very light jet category, offering twin-engine redundancy, high cruise speed relative to small turboprops, and a cabin optimized for executivekomfort in short-range missions. In the used market, EA500 airframes like N73EJ compete with other VLJs and light business jets, where buyers weigh acquisition cost, operating economics, and avionics fit such as the IS&S Avio installations. Resale and maintenance considerations for this model include monitoring engine life limits, avionics modernization potential, and airframe wear; the reported valuation of $1,100,000 for this 2007 serial 000073 reflects those cumulative factors.
