N130EC

The airframe bearing tail number N130EC is an Embraer EMB-500 Phenom 100 built by Embraer S.A. in 2010, serial 50000121. It is owned by STE AVIATION LLC, a corporation based in Lincoln, NE, US, and carries United States registration. The airframe’s registration and ownership are recorded to STE AVIATION LLC in Lincoln, Nebraska, and contemporary valuation records list the type-configuration value at $2,295,000, reflecting a mature light-jet airframe with standard executive outfitting. Condition highlights for this specific aircraft are typical of single-owner corporate examples of its vintage, with manufacturer-standard systems and a preserved executive interior profile.

The cabin in this airframe is finished in a typical five-passenger executive layout — configured as 1 crew + 5 pax — and features the Embraer “OvalLite” cabin profile with a belted lavatory and forward and aft baggage compartments. Avionics are fitted with the Embraer Prodigy Flight Deck, employing three large interchangeable displays; this airframe reflects the modern Prodigy architecture as used on later Phenom installations (earlier fitments used a Garmin-based architecture). Operationally, the aircraft suits short to mid-range executive missions within its 1,178 nm range and is typically deployed from its owner’s Nebraska base for business hops and regional repositioning. Maintenance considerations align with light-jet PW600-series engine care and standard Embraer service intervals.

The Embraer EMB-500 Phenom 100 occupies the light executive jet niche emphasizing high cruise speed, efficient twin-PW600 powerplants, and a compact executive cabin. Competing models in its market segment include other entry-level business jets that target owner-operators and charter operators seeking relatively low operating costs and jet performance. Buyer and charter demand for this family centers on short-range corporate missions, owner-flown operations, and light charter work; resale considerations for this specific 2010 airframe include remaining component life, avionics fitment (Prodigy versus earlier Garmin-based suites), and engine time on the PW617F-E powerplants.
