N855MS

This entry describes airframe N855MS, an Eclipse Aviation Eclipse 500 (EA500) manufactured by Eclipse Aviation Corp and completed in 2008 with serial number 000121. The airframe is registered in the US; detailed public records of its ownership timeline, operator or home base, and notable registry actions are Not published. Condition and valuation specifics beyond factory specifications are Not published, though the airframe’s configuration and avionics fit are typical of late-production Eclipse 500 examples.

The cabin of this specific EA500 is outfitted to accommodate 4–6 executive seats with a typical 1+4 layout, permitting single-pilot or two-pilot operation and seating for up to six occupants in executive configuration. Typical avionics fit for this airframe is the IS&S Avio / Avio NG suite, a common factory or retrofit installation on the model that supports advanced flight management and integrated displays. Mission profiles for this airframe revolve around short- to mid-range executive transport, single-pilot business trips, and owner-flown cross-country hops within its 1,280 nm range and high-speed cruise of 335 kts. Maintenance considerations align with twin-jet light aircraft practices and the specific engine type, with parts and support pathways influenced by the PW610F-A powerplant and Eclipse legacy support arrangements.

The Eclipse 500 (EA500) occupies the very light jet niche, emphasizing low operating costs, single-pilot capability, and jet performance—here demonstrated by a 41,000 ft ceiling and 335 kts cruise. Competing models historically include other VLJs and light-cabin jets that balance cost, range, and payload; the EA500’s 950 lbf PW610F-A engines yield modest thrust suited to short runway operations and efficient cruise. Buyer and charter demand for this family centers on owner-operators and small charter operators seeking jet speed with limited cabin volume; resale and maintenance profiles are affected by airframe age, avionics configuration such as the IS&S Avio suite, and the availability of aftermarket support for Eclipse-built aircraft.
