N218RG

This entry covers the specific Embraer light jet bearing tail number N218RG, a 2010-build airframe with serial 50000172. The aircraft is a factory-built example of the Embraer EMB-500 Phenom 100 and is registered in the United States. It is owned by PTARYNDACTYL LLC, an Indianapolis, IN–based limited liability company; the registration and owner details indicate a U.S.-based operator and typical corporate executive transport use. Valuation estimates place this particular airframe at $4,100,000, reflecting age, equipment fit and the light-jet market for a 2010 Phenom 100.

The cabin of this EMB-500 is outfitted in a typical executive configuration supporting a 4–6 passenger layout with a cabin length of approximately ~11 ft and baggage volume around ~70 cu ft, suitable for short- to mid-range corporate trips. The flight deck is equipped with Embraer’s Prodigy Touch / Garmin-based avionics suite (Prodigy/Garmin family), enabling modern situational awareness and single-pilot capability in many operating contexts. Operating from an Indianapolis, IN base under corporate LLC ownership, the aircraft would commonly serve point-to-point regional missions, business shuttles and light charter roles within its 1,178 nm range envelope. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe follow standard Phenom 100 schedules and PW617F-E engine programs; ownership via an LLC suggests centralized asset management and compliance with U.S. registry requirements.

The Embraer EMB-500 Phenom 100 occupies the entry-level light-jet niche, offering jet speed and cabin comfort with lower acquisition and operating costs than larger light-to-midsize jets. Performance attributes such as a 390 kts cruise and 41,000 ft ceiling position it competitively against models from Cessna and HondaJet in short regional missions. Buyer and charter demand for well-equipped Phenom 100s remains steady due to pilot-friendly avionics and efficient PW617-series engines, though resale value and marketability are influenced by year-of-build (this airframe: 2010), avionics fit and engine program status. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe will reflect its documented hours, adherence to Embraer service bulletins, and the condition associated with a $4,100,000 valuation.
