N113EA2008 Eclipse 500

Overview

This entry covers a specific airframe: registration N113EA, a Eclipse 500 (EA500) built in 2008 with serial number 000152 by Eclipse Aviation Corp. The airframe is owned by N113EA Inc, a corporation based in Middletown, DE, US, and is registered in the US. The documented record shows the airframe remaining with the corporate owner since initial registration, with routine registry entries tied to corporate operation and domicile in Delaware.

Operations & Cabin

The cabin for this airframe is arranged in a 1+4 executive layout that supports single-pilot operation while accommodating up to five passengers in a common executive configuration, with a legislated capacity of 6 seats. Avionics are listed as Avio / Avio NG (part of the IS&S Avio family), with the caveat that specific fit can vary through STC or later upgrades; this fit supports the glass-panel workflow typical of very light jets in this class. Typical missions for the operator likely include short to mid-range corporate hops within the continental US, taking advantage of the 1,125 nm range and high-speed cruise near 375 kts, while operations to higher-altitude airports can exploit its 41,000 ft ceiling. Maintenance considerations align with twin-engine light-jet practice, focusing on the PW610F-A engines and avionics life-cycle management where STC modifications have been applied.

Model & Market Context

As an Eclipse 500 (EA500) airframe, N113EA belongs to the very light jet category aimed at owner-operators and small-corporate fleets seeking lower acquisition and operating costs than larger business jets. The family competes with other VLJs and light jets in short to medium-range business missions, offering high cruise speed and a high operating ceiling for its class. Resale and maintenance considerations for this serial include the common market factors for EA500s: engine overhaul tracking for the PW610F-A, avionics upgrade paths (Avio to Avio NG or later STC work), and the effect of corporate ownership and Delaware registration on title and transfer processes.
