N18YP

The airframe bearing registration N18YP is an Embraer-built light business jet, a Embraer EMB-500 Phenom 100 manufactured by Embraer S.A. and completed in 2008 with manufacturer serial number 50000009. The jet is recorded as owned by Spark Aviation LLC, an LLC based in West Harrison, NY, US, and is registered in the US. The available records for this specific airframe indicate conventional private ownership rather than a dedicated charter operator; no publicized significant incidents or registry seizures are associated with this serial in the supplied data. Condition and valuation details are not published in the provided dataset; operational characteristics and equipment fit are the principal documented attributes for this tail.

This specific Phenom 100 is configured with a typical compact executive cabin described as a Typical 4–6 passenger executive layout (compact executive cabin) and is a five-seat set-up in the available documentation, consistent with light-jet owner-operator missions. The flight deck is equipped with the Embraer-developed Emb-Prodigy/Prodigy Touch flight deck (Garmin-based architecture), supporting modern situational awareness and single-crew or two-pilot operations depending on operator practice. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include short- to mid-range business hops and point-to-point owner transport within the aircraft’s 1,178 nm range and cruise speeds near 371 kts, operating from smaller corporate or regional airports based on the owner’s West Harrison, NY location. Maintenance considerations follow the Phenom 100 program norms with twin PW617F-E engines and associated scheduled inspections for light business jets.

The Embraer EMB-500 Phenom 100 family occupies the entry-level very light jet niche, balancing compact cabin accommodations with relatively high cruise speeds and a 41,000 ft service ceiling for efficient short- to medium-range routing. Comparable aircraft in this sector include light jets from other manufacturers offering similar seating and range; buyers typically prioritize speed, modern avionics like the Prodigy Touch fit, and operating economics for owner-pilot or small-corporate use. For resale and maintenance, considerations center on engine time on the two PW617F-E powerplants, avionics retrofits, and documented ownership and maintenance history — factors that would apply to N18YP as recorded in the supplied data.
