N888ZY

This airframe, registered as N888ZY, is an Eclipse 500 (EA500) built in 2008 with serial number 000213. The airframe is listed as owned by Dido Aviation LLC, an LLC based in Twin Bridges, MT, US, reflecting at least one identifiable ownership/registration record. The airframe is a United States-registered, fixed-wing multi-engine jet configured in an executive fit and has appeared in broker photographs and listings indicating its condition and outfitting; no separate valuation figure is published in the supplied data. The available information does not record additional notable registry actions beyond the present ownership entry.

The aircraft is fitted in the Sahara LX executive cabin layout and broker photos/listing specifically show 4 passenger seats, while factory LX options for the model allow reconfiguration for 5–6 pax. Avionics include an IS&S IFMS v2.08 (Avio-style IFMS) installation with two primary flight displays and a single 15" MFD, integrated weather radar, Jeppesen chart capability, and a fully coupled autopilot as described in the broker listing. Typical mission profiles for this airframe type and this fit are short- to medium-range executive transport and on-demand charter hops within continental ranges consistent with the 1,125 nm radius and cruise at 335 kts, operating from the owner/operator base in Twin Bridges, Montana for point-to-point business or personal travel. Maintenance considerations for this specific aircraft would follow factory and engine OEM schedules for the PW610F-A turboshaft-derived turbofans and the Eclipse airframe, and any broker-described equipment and interior options.

The Eclipse 500 (EA500) family occupies the very light jet niche with single-pilot capability, low direct operating costs, and compact executive cabins. Its performance—high single-engine-relative efficiency, a cruise around 335 kts, and a service ceiling near 41,000 ft—targets owner-operators and small charter operators seeking efficient regional transport. Competitors include other VLJs and light business jets offering similar mission capability. Market and resale considerations for this airframe hinge on installed avionics (the IS&S IFMS v2.08 and 15" MFD are marketable features), engine condition of the PW610F-A units, and the executive Sahara LX interior; prospective buyers typically evaluate logbooks, maintenance status, and any supplemental equipment shown in broker listings.
