N112EJ2008 Eclipse 500

Overview

This airframe, registered as N112EJ, is an Eclipse Aviation EA500 with serial number 000112. It was delivered in 2008 and is recorded as owned by Dora Aviation Co Llc, a corporation based in Columbus, IN, US. The operator/home base is reflected by the owner's location in Columbus, Indiana, and the type certificate places it in the US civil registry.

Operations & Cabin

The cabin layout for this specific EA500 is a typical 4-place club seating arrangement with leather club seats and a small cabin bag area, while the type certificate allows up to 6 seats including pilots. Avionics are fitted with the Avio NG (Avio Next Generation) suite, supporting single-pilot IFR operations and modern glass-panel functionality appropriate to light twin-jet mission sets. Typical missions for this aircraft include short to mid-range business travel within the continental US, with the 1,125 nm range and 370 kt cruise enabling efficient point-to-point hops. Based in Columbus, IN, maintenance considerations follow Pratt & Whitney Canada PW610F-A support and Eclipse-specific inspection intervals; the compact cabin and limited baggage capacity influence mission planning and payload tradeoffs.

Model & Market Context

The Eclipse Aviation EA500 occupies the very light jet niche, offering economical twin-engine performance with a 41,000 ft ceiling and turbofan reliability from the PW610F-A series. It competes with other VLJs and light jets in owner-flown and charter markets where low direct operating costs and runway performance are prioritized. Resale and maintenance considerations for a 2008 airframe include avionics modernization paths (even with Avio NG installed), component life limits for the PW610F-A engines, and the impact of limited cabin baggage volume on charter appeal. Buyer demand typically centers on owner-operators and small charter operators seeking cost-effective regional mobility.
