N255KM

This airframe, N255KM, is an Embraer Phenom 100 (EMB-500) light business jet built in 2024 with serial number 50000451. The aircraft is owned by Air Castle Llc, a corporation based in Valdosta, GA, US, and carries a United States registration. Recorded ownership and registry actions place the airframe with a corporate operator in Valdosta from delivery, and the listed market value for this specific Phenom 100 is $4,495,000. The airframe’s recent build year and corporate ownership suggest a modern configuration and maintenance pedigree consistent with late-production Phenom 100 examples.

The cabin of this airframe follows the typical Phenom 100 executive layout, a 5–6 place arrangement with forward club or divan seating options and the possibility of a belted lavatory in certain configurations. Its flight deck is equipped with Embraer’s Prodigy / Garmin-based avionics suite (Prodigy Touch / G3000-class systems), providing integrated touchscreen flight management and advanced situational awareness typical of modern light jets. Operated from Valdosta, GA, the aircraft’s mission profile is well suited to short to mid-range executive hops, air-taxi or owner-flown business trips within a roughly 1,100–1,200 nm radius at high single‑digit Mach cruise speeds. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe align with Pratt & Whitney Canada PW600-series engine support and factory-recommended Phenom structural and avionics service intervals.

The Embraer Phenom 100 occupies the entry-level light jet niche, offering high cruise speed and a 41,000 ft service ceiling for access to efficient flight levels and favorable enroute winds. Competing models typically include other entry-level light jets from established manufacturers; buyers value the Phenom family for its modern cockpit and cabin ergonomics. For resale and charter operators, a 2024-build serial like 50000451 with an up-to-date Prodigy/G3000-class flight deck and documented corporate ownership supports stronger marketability, while PW617F-series engine support and lifecycle costs are common considerations in valuation and maintenance planning.
