N161PA

The airframe bearing tail number N161PA is an Embraer-built light jet, a Embraer EMB-500 Phenom 100 completed in 2010 with manufacturer serial 50000169. The aircraft is owned and operated by OZARK AIR OPERATIONS LLC, an LLC based in Kansas City, MO, US, and is registered in the US. No public record of multiple ownership transfers is presented in the supplied data; current registry reflects the listed LLC as operator/home base. As of the provided valuation the airframe is appraised at $4,100,000, with configuration and equipage consistent with an executive, light-jet business role.

The fitted cabin follows an executive layout typically accommodating 4–6 seats with forward club seating and an enclosed lavatory, and the specific airframe is noted as a six-seat installation. Typical avionics for the Phenom 100E/EX are represented by Embraer Prodigy Touch or Garmin G3000 equipage; this airframe’s documented equipage is consistent with those factory/option packages. Operational missions for this aircraft type and this example generally include short to mid-range business hops, regional point-to-point charters, and owner-operator transport from its Kansas City base, leveraging the aircraft’s 1,178 nm range and 390 kt cruise for efficient regional schedules. Maintenance considerations for this airframe focus on twin PW617F-E turbofan support and business-jet scheduled inspections commensurate with aircraft age and utilization.

The Phenom 100 family occupies the entry-level very light/entry business jet niche, offering owner-operators and small charter operators a combination of cabin comfort and performance such as a 41,000 ft ceiling and near-400 kt cruise. Competing models in the market segment include other light jets offering similar short-field performance and eight-seat layouts, with buyer demand often driven by operational cost, dispatch reliability of engines like the PW617F-E, and avionics modernity such as the Prodigy Touch/Garmin G3000. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 2010 airframe hinge on engine time, avionics version, and completion condition; the provided valuation of $4,100,000 reflects those cumulative factors in the current market context.
