N99AZ

This entry covers the airframe registered as N99AZ, an Eclipse EA500 built in 2008 with serial number 000240. The aircraft is manufactured by Eclipse Aviation Corp and is registered in the US. It is owned by PLANE HOLDINGS LLC, an LLC based in Missoula, MT, US, which represents the current operator and home base for the airframe; ownership was recorded under that company name in the registry. The airframe is valued at $1,400,000 and presents as a fixed-wing multi-engine executive light jet in typical service condition for its type.

The cabin is configured for 1 crew + 4–5 passenger executive club layout (6 max), supporting short to medium-range executive transport and light charter missions from its base in Missoula, MT. Typical avionics for the type fit to this airframe are IS&S Avio / Avio NG, which provide integrated flight displays and systems management suited to single-pilot or two-pilot operations. With the twin Pratt & Whitney Canada PW610F-A engines and a cruise speed of 335 kts, the aircraft is commonly employed on point-to-point business travel, air taxi, and owner-operated convenience trips. Maintenance considerations reflect the light-jet class and specific engine type; routine operator maintenance and OEM-recommended inspections govern continued airworthiness.

The Eclipse EA500 occupies the light executive jet niche with compact cabin accommodations and efficient twin-engine performance characterized by a 1,125 nm range and high cruise speed. Demand for this category centers on owner-operators and small charter operators seeking lower acquisition cost and operating economics relative to larger business jets. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect age (built 2008), cumulative utilization, and supportability of the Pratt & Whitney Canada PW610F-A engines and avionics suite; valuation at $1,400,000 indicates market positioning consistent with mature light-jet examples.
