N135SL

This airframe, registered as N135SL, is an Embraer EMB-135BJ Legacy (Legacy 600) built in 2003 with serial number 145711. The aircraft is owned by ZED AEROCAPITAL LLC, a corporation based in Dover, DE, US, and is registered in the United States. The airframe’s history reflects a corporate ownership profile rather than individual private possession, and current records list a market valuation of $2,500,000, indicative of its age, configuration and typical maintenance status for jet transports of this vintage.

The cabin of N135SL is fitted in a typical VIP three-zone executive layout commonly accommodating 12–13 passengers, although it is certificated for 37 seats in an airline-style configuration, allowing flexibility between corporate transport and higher-density roles. Avionics commonly installed on this airframe family include Honeywell Primus suites, with Primus 1000 / Primus Elite commonly fitted, supporting modern flight management and navigation capabilities suitable for international and transcontinental missions. Operational use for this airframe would typically include corporate transport, charter missions and owner/operator repositioning flights; the combination of a near-3,400 nm range and a cruise speed around 447 kts supports transcontinental U.S. and many international routes. Maintenance considerations for this specific aircraft are consistent with medium-aged business jets of its class—airframe hours, engine cycles, and avionics upgrades materially influence both dispatch reliability and resale value.

The Embraer EMB-135BJ Legacy (Legacy 600) occupies the midsize executive jet niche, offering a balance of range, cabin volume and operating economics relative to light and large-cabin competitors. With a typical VIP fit for a dozen occupants but certification for 37 seats, the model appeals to corporate, charter and fractional operators seeking flexibility. Competing types include mid-size offerings from manufacturers such as Bombardier and Gulfstream in earlier variants; buyer demand is often driven by availability of well-documented maintenance records and upgraded avionics. For this airframe in particular, the listed value of $2,500,000 reflects both its 2003 build year and common market depreciation, with resale and operating costs sensitive to engine shop visits and avionics modernization.
