N225AS

This entry describes airframe N225AS, an Embraer-built light jet listed as an Embraer Phenom 100 (Embraer Phenom 100 (EMB-500)) manufactured by Embraer S.A. The airframe was completed in 2011 with serial number 50000239 and is recorded as owned by RICHELIEU LLC (an LLC based in San Francisco, CA, US). The aircraft carries a US registration and has been valued at $4,100,000; registration and ownership on the US registry indicate corporate operation out of the San Francisco area.

The cabin is fitted in a typical executive arrangement described as a 4–6-place layout and is single-pilot capable, providing flexible seating for owner-operators or small corporate missions. Avionics are installed as the Embraer Prodigy Flight Deck (Prodigy Touch / Garmin-based), supporting modern glass cockpit operations and single-pilot IFR capability. With a cruise speed of 390 kts and a maximum range of 1,178 nm, the aircraft is suited to short- to mid-range corporate hops, point-to-point regional travel, and quick repositioning flights from its operator base in San Francisco, CA, US. The twin Pratt & Whitney Canada PW617F-E engines are a key maintenance focus for this airframe, affecting operating economics and inspection cycles specific to the installed powerplant model.

As an example of the Embraer Phenom 100 family (Embraer Phenom 100 (EMB-500)), this airframe embodies the entry-level light-jet performance niche represented by six-seat executive layouts, fast cruise capability and high single-pilot functionality. Its combination of a 41,000 ft ceiling, 390 kts cruise and a 1,178 nm range positions the type for owners seeking efficient regional transport with modest operating costs relative to larger business jets. Maintenance and resale considerations for this specific airframe will reflect the installed PW617F-E engines, the Embraer Prodigy avionics fit, the 2011 build year (50000239 serial) and current valuation at $4,100,000, factors commonly weighed by corporate owners and brokers when assessing readiness for continued private or charter use.
