N149GK

This entry covers the specific Embraer-built light jet bearing U.S. registration N149GK, an Embraer Phenom 100 (EMB-500) manufactured in 2009 with serial number 50000087. The airframe is registered in the United States and is owned by ADAMS AVIATION SERVICES INC TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee based in Wilmington, Delaware. The aircraft’s registry reflects corporate ownership rather than a private individual, and its assessed market value is $1,950,000, indicating a mature airframe in the light business jet category. Routine registry and valuation notes indicate it operates within the fixed-wing multi-engine category with an executive interior configuration typical of the model.

The specific cabin fit for N149GK follows the typical Phenom 100 executive floorplan, accommodating an executive 4–6 passenger layout suited to short- to mid-range point-to-point missions. Avionics aboard this airframe are fitted with Embraer Prodigy Touch (based on Garmin G3000), enabling integrated flightdeck functionality and modern situational awareness for single- or two-pilot operations. Typical operations for this aircraft include corporate shuttle runs, owner-flown trips and on-demand charter within its 1,178 nm range and high-speed cruise capability. Maintenance considerations reflect the twin PW617F-E turbofan fleet profile, with cost and cycle planning appropriate to a 2009-built example under corporate trust ownership.

The Embraer Phenom 100 (EMB-500) occupies the very light jet niche, offering high cruise speeds around 400 kts and a service ceiling near 41,000 ft, competing with models such as the Cessna Citation Mustang and HondaJet in owner-operator and charter markets. Buyers and operators prioritize low hourly operating costs, modern avionics like the Prodigy Touch, and compact executive cabins for short-haul efficiency. Resale and maintenance considerations for a 2009 serial 50000087 focus on engine shop visits for the PW617F-E units and avionics lifecycle updates, factors that influence the listed $1,950,000 valuation.
