How hard has it been used?
Light use spends maintenance intervals slowly, but long spells parked bring their own wear: seals, corrosion and preservation. Worth asking how it was stored.

The Aircraft Ledger. “N3MT: how this Eclipse 550 is flown.” Data through 31 Jul 2026. theaircraftledger.com/aircraft/n3mt
About 36 estimated hours in the 12 months to 31 Jul 2026, across 24 tracked flights. Hours are estimated from time in the air, so the logbook has the exact figure.
N3MT made 24 tracked flights in the 12 months to 31 Jul 2026, about 2 a month, and flew on about 2 days in each month it flew.
None of its 24 tracked flights in the 12 months to 31 Jul 2026 crossed a border.
It was last tracked in June 2026. We publish an aircraft’s flights seven days after they happen, and show them by month only.
We leave out airports, bases and exact dates on purpose. We show how an aircraft has been used, not where it goes.
All four graded chapters (Fatigue, Corrosion, Engines and brakes, and Utilization), each against the tracked 550s, plus the operational summary and operating rhythm, as a PDF, CSV and share link. It costs $395, or $995 a month for unlimited reports and Spotlight.
