N878BW

This entry concerns airframe N878BW, an Eclipse EA500 built in 2007 with manufacturer serial number 000013. The aircraft is an Eclipse 500 series very light jet manufactured by Eclipse Aviation Corp and is registered to LAGIMONIERE GREG, an individual owner based in Jacksonville Beach, FL, US. The airframe is U.S.-registered and configured for executive transport; registry records indicate ownership by a private individual rather than a commercial operator. No public record of other notable registry actions or transfers is included in the supplied data.

The cabin in this specific EA500 is fitted in the typical executive layout for the model with 1 crew + 4–5 passenger seating, allowing up to 6 seats when fully configured. Avionics installed on this airframe are the Avio / Avio NG (IS&S Avio) suite, appropriate for the type’s light-jet IFR mission set and operator familiarity with the factory-standard avionics fit. Typical missions for N878BW would reflect the EA500’s intended use: short- to medium-range executive point-to-point travel within its 1,125 nm range at cruise speeds near 335 kts, operating out of general aviation and regional airports from its Jacksonville Beach, FL base. Maintenance considerations for this individual airframe are influenced by its twin PW610F-A turbofans and the integrated Avio avionics architecture, which together define scheduled engine and avionics support needs.

The Eclipse EA500 occupies the very light jet niche as a compact, twin-engine executive jet delivering efficient short- to medium-range performance, exemplified by this airframe’s 335 kts cruise and 41,000 ft ceiling. Competing models in the same market segment typically emphasize low operating costs and owner-pilot capability; demand has historically been driven by owner-operators and on-demand charter operators seeking small-cabin, high-speed links. Resale and maintenance considerations for this model commonly revolve around engine-time tracking on the PW610F-A units and the lifecycle/support status of the IS&S Avio / Avio NG avionics, factors that would be central to valuations and continued operational readiness for N878BW.
