N889CM

This airframe, registered as N889CM, is a 2007 build of the Eclipse EA500 (Total Eclipse upgraded) with serial number 000035. It is recorded as owned by N889CM AVIATION LLC, an LLC based in Hillsborough, CA, US, and operates on a U.S. registration. The airframe has been outfitted and maintained to a five-place executive configuration and has an estimated current value of $700,000. Notable registry details include its ownership by a single-entity LLC operating from Hillsborough, California, reflecting a privately managed, corporate-style ownership structure.

The cabin on this specific EA500 is a five-place executive layout, described as a "550-style" Hill Aero refit with four passenger seats plus an observer/forward seat, providing a compact executive arrangement optimized for corporate or owner-flown missions. Avionics are upgraded to the IS&S IFMS v2.9 'Plus' package featuring dual primary flight displays, a 15" multifunction display, synthetic vision, and auto-throttle, giving this airframe a modern cockpit fit appropriate for single-pilot or two-pilot IFR operations. Typical mission profiles for this aircraft, given its range and cruise speed, would include short-to-medium cross-country business trips and point-to-point regional flights from its Hillsborough, CA home base. Maintenance considerations for this specific ship include support for the PW610F-A engines and avionics maintenance for the IS&S suite as installed during the Total Eclipse and Hill Aero modifications.

The Eclipse EA500, as represented by this upgraded airframe, occupies the very light jet niche emphasizing high cruise speed and low operating costs for short to mid-range missions. With a cruise of 370 kts and a service ceiling of 41,000 ft, it competes with other VLJs and small light jets in owner-flown and charter markets where speed and runway performance are priorities. Typical buyer demand focuses on owner-operators and small charter operators seeking a compact executive cabin and low acquisition price; the recorded value of $700,000 for this specific aircraft reflects depreciation, modification history, and avionics upgrades that influence resale and maintenance considerations.
