N953JB

The airframe bearing registration N953JB is an Eclipse 500 (EA500) light jet built by Eclipse Aviation Corp in 2008, serial number 000126. The airframe is listed to TAK AVIATION LLC, an LLC based in Wilmington, DE, US, and operates on a United States registry (US). The aircraft’s documented valuation is $850,000, reflecting its condition and market position for late-production Eclipse 500s. No other ownership transfers or notable registry actions are published beyond the current LLC registration.

N953JB is configured with a 4–6 place executive layout, typically furnished in a 4-place club seating arrangement with a belted lavatory and an optional sixth seat, allowing flexibility between executive transport and light charter missions. The aircraft is equipped with an Avio / Avio NG integrated flight deck, providing the avionics foundation for single-pilot operations in the light jet category. Typical mission profiles for this airframe would include short- to mid-range point-to-point corporate hops and owner-flown trips within the aircraft’s 1,125 nm range and high-speed cruise of 370 kts. Based at the owner’s Wilmington, DE, address for registry purposes, operational considerations for this specific airframe include routine turbine engine and avionics maintenance programs appropriate to the Pratt & Whitney Canada PW610F-A engines and Avio suite.

The Eclipse 500 (EA500) occupies the very light jet niche, offering high-speed cruise and a 41,000 ft ceiling in a compact airframe produced by Eclipse Aviation Corp. Comparable roles are filled by other VLJ-class types; buyers and operators of this serial typically weigh operating economics, aftermarket support, and avionics modernization when assessing maintenance and resale. The stated valuation of $850,000 for this 2008 airframe reflects market demand for well-maintained Eclipse 500s and the importance of documented engine and avionics maintenance history for prospective purchasers.
