N242LL

This entry documents airframe N242LL, an Embraer light jet registered in the US with manufacturer serial number 50500909. The aircraft is an Embraer EMB-505 (Phenom 300 / Phenom 300E) and is owned by EMBRAER EXECUTIVE AIRCRAFT INC, a corporation based in Melbourne, FL, US; the ownership is notable as the airframe remains with its manufacturer entity. Registry information and corporate custody have been maintained under the registered operator location in Melbourne, Florida. The airframe carries an estimated market valuation of $9,650,000, reflecting its configuration and factory ownership.

The aircraft is configured in the manufacturer's executive layout, described as a typical 6–8 place executive layout; the registry lists 8 seats. Avionics are installed as the Prodigy Touch (based on Garmin G3000) integrated with the Prodigy Flight Deck, consistent with modern Phenom 300 cockpit standards. Operation under corporate ownership suggests primary usage for manufacturer demonstration, company transport, or delivery positioning missions, with typical regional business routes within the aircraft’s 2,010 nm range and cruise capability of 430 kts. Maintenance and operational oversight are likely conducted through factory-supported channels given the owner EMBRAER EXECUTIVE AIRCRAFT INC location in Melbourne, FL, and the aircraft’s factory serial 50500909.

The Embraer EMB-505 (Phenom 300 / Phenom 300E) family occupies the light jet segment with high cruise speed and transcontinental regional range, competing for buyers seeking a balance of cabin comfort and performance. With twin PW535E1 engines and a service ceiling of 45,000 ft, the type targets owner-operators, charter fleets, and manufacturer demonstrator roles. Retention by the manufacturer, as in this case, can simplify maintenance tracking and factory upgrades but may influence resale comparables and market availability; the listed valuation of $9,650,000 reflects its equipment, configuration, and corporate ownership status.
