N157BD

This entry documents airframe N157BD, an Embraer-built light jet completed in 2016 with manufacturer serial number 50500367. The aircraft is an example of the Embraer factory line and carries US civil registration US as noted in sales and registry listings. At least one sales advert has described the airframe's cabin and fit, which provides the primary public detail of its interior configuration; no further ownership timeline or transfer actions are recorded in the supplied data. Condition highlights in public sales information emphasize an executive fit and an avionics suite consistent with factory-equipped Phenom 300s.

The specific cabin of N157BD is described in marketing material as an executive 8+1 layout featuring a forward refreshment centre, a side-facing divan and a belted lavatory, matching common business-aviation missions of short- to mid-range executive transport. The cockpit avionics fit is an Embraer Prodigy Touch suite, which is Garmin G3000-based and supports modern flight-management, touchscreen controls and synthetic vision capabilities suited to single-pilot or two-crew operations typical of Phenom 300 operators. Typical missions for this airframe would include coast-to-coast or regional charters within its roughly 2,010 nm range at cruise speeds near 453 kt and operations into high-altitude flight levels up to 45,000 ft. Maintenance considerations follow the twin-PW535E1 engine type and factory avionics standardization, which can simplify support under established Embraer and Pratt & Whitney service networks.

The airframe is an example of the Embraer EMB-505 Phenom 300 family produced by Embraer S.A., which occupies the light jet performance niche with high cruise speed, favorable range and a comfortable executive cabin for up to eight passengers. Competing models in the segment include other light-cabin jets offering similar speed and range figures; demand from owner-operators and charter operators favors examples with modern avionics like the Prodigy Touch. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific airframe will center on engine hour cycles on the PW535E1 powerplants, documented interior condition, and the continuity of the US registration and any recorded sales advert history.
