N135SC

This entry describes airframe N135SC, an Embraer Legacy 600 (EMB-135BJ) built in 2006 with serial number 14500972. The aircraft is owned by Ballator Equipment Leasing LLC, a limited liability company based in Beech Mountain, NC, US, which appears as its recorded owner in registry data. The U.S.-registered airframe is noted in official records as having a 37-seat configuration, although its cabin is typically outfitted for executive transport. Current valuation is listed at $12,300,000, reflecting market and configuration factors for this build.

The airframe is configured with a three-zone executive cabin but registry entries show a factory-capable airline layout of 37 seats; the common operational presentation for such Legacy 600 examples is a typical 13-passenger executive layout. Avionics aboard this airframe are listed as the Honeywell Primus 1000, a suite commonly fitted or factory-standard on early Legacy 600s, supporting domestic and international business missions. Typical missions for this configuration include transcontinental and regional executive transport within the aircraft’s 3,400 nm range and cruise at 447 kts; the U.S. location of the owner in Beech Mountain, NC, US situates the operator base within U.S. registry oversight. Maintenance considerations follow twin-engine business-jet schedules appropriate to Rolls-Royce AE 3007A1E powerplants and the airframe’s certification basis.

The Embraer Legacy 600 (EMB-135BJ) occupies a mid-size long-range business-jet niche, offering transcontinental range and a three-zone cabin on a regional jet platform. Competing types serve similar missions, and buyers often weigh cabin layout (executive vs. airline-capable) heavily in resale pricing; this airframe’s registry showing of a 37-seat configuration versus its executive fit affects market positioning. Demand for Legacy 600 airframes typically focuses on charter operators and corporate lessees seeking large-cabin comfort at lower acquisition costs relative to newer purpose-built business jets. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific airframe include legacy avionics suites like the Honeywell Primus 1000 and lifecycle support for the AE 3007A1E turbofans.
