N838SB

This entry covers airframe N838SB, a 2007-built Eclipse EA500 (Eclipse 500), serial number 000056. The aircraft is registered in the US and is held by BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE, a corporation based in Salt Lake City, UT, US; the trustee status and corporate ownership are the principal items in its recorded ownership timeline. The airframe appears in registry records with a 6-place reference despite a typical executive cabin layout that seats fewer passengers. Valuation and condition details: Not published.

The airframe is configured with the typical 1+4 executive cabin layout used on the type, accommodating up to five passengers in a standard executive arrangement while registry entries reference a six-place capability. Avionics fit for this specific aircraft is noted as Avio / Avio NG (IS&S), providing the factory-integrated digital flight deck common to the EA500 series. With a transcontinental range of 1,125 nm and a cruise speed near 375 kts, the aircraft is suited to owner-flown or light charter missions between regional business centers; based on owner location, operations are likely centered from the Salt Lake City area. Maintenance considerations follow the twin-jet turbofan model of the platform, with attention paid to the PW610F-A engines and IS&S avionics lifecycle and updates.

The Eclipse EA500 (Eclipse 500) occupies a niche as a very light jet offering high cruise speed and jet performance with low acquisition size relative to larger light jets. Competing models in the VLJ segment historically included aircraft such as the Cessna Citation Mustang and Embraer Phenom 100; demand has been primarily from owner-operators and small charter operators. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe emphasize the two PW610F-A engines, avionics modernization (Avio/Avio NG), and verified logbooks given corporate trustee ownership and registry variances in passenger configuration.
