N168JC

The airframe bearing tail number N168JC is an Embraer-built light business jet completed in 2015, with manufacturer serial number 50500334. It is recorded as owned by N168JC LLC (LLC), Wilmington, DE, US, and is US-registered; the registry shows it registered in the US to N168JC LLC with no other publicized ownership transfers in the supplied data. The aircraft is a production example of the Embraer EMB-505 Phenom 300 line and is valued in the supplied dataset at $7,495,000, a figure that reflects market comparables for a mid-decade Phenom 300 in typical executive configuration.

This specific Phenom 300 is noted as operating with an 8-place executive layout listed on charter advertisements while the FAA certificated seating is 9, indicating the airframe is typically configured for eight passenger comfort while retaining a nine-seat certification. Avionics fit is the common Phenom 300 installation of Garmin G3000 / Embraer Prodigy Touch, supporting advanced flight management, touchscreen flight decks, and modern safety features suitable for single-pilot or two-crew operations depending on operator procedures. Typical missions for this airframe, given its 2,010 nm range and 453 kt cruise, include regional point-to-point business travel across continental distances, frequent charter service, and time-sensitive executive transport from the owner’s base in Wilmington, DE, US. Maintenance considerations align with light-jets in its class, driven by dual PW535E engine program requirements and routine Phenom structural and avionics support.

The Embraer EMB-505 Phenom 300 family occupies the light-cabin, high-performance niche, offering higher cruise speeds and range than many entry-level light jets while retaining lower operating costs than midsize platforms. Competing models include late-model offerings from Cessna (Citation series) and Bombardier’s light jets; buyers value the Phenom 300 for its speed (453 kt) and a high service ceiling (45,000 ft). Resale considerations for this 2015 serial 50500334 include the robust aftermarket for Phenom airframes, the influence of engine program participation for PW535E powerplants, and the appeal of an executive 8-place fitted cabin combined with an available nine-seat certification.
