N316N

This entry describes airframe N316N, an Embraer EMB-500 Phenom 100 (Phenom 100E) built in 2012 by Embraer Executive Aircraft Inc. and bearing serial number 50000280. The airframe is registered in the US and is recorded as owned by NICHOLAS SERVICES LLC, a corporation domiciled in Oxford / Columbus, MS, US, reflecting its current corporate ownership and local operator association. Valued in recent records at $3,150,000, the aircraft presents as a late-production Phenom 100E example with factory-specified systems and an executive single-cabin configuration noted in registry listings. No public record of prior operators or major registry actions was supplied beyond the current corporate ownership.

The aircraft is configured with an executive single-cabin layout typically arranged with 4 executive seats and a belted lavatory option; the operator may elect optional 5th/6th belted seats depending on mission requirements. Avionics are the Garmin Prodigy Flight Deck, a G1000-based Prodigy/Triad display suite as fitted to Phenom 100E models, supporting advanced situational awareness and common modern cockpit functionality. Typical missions for this airframe—given its 1,178 nm range and 390 kt cruise—include regional business trips and short intercity charters from its home base in the Oxford/Columbus, Mississippi area. Maintenance considerations align with light-jet service intervals for Pratt & Whitney Canada PW600-series engines and Phenom airframe scheduled inspections under corporate ownership.

The Embraer EMB-500 Phenom 100E occupies the entry-level very light jet (VLJ) niche, offering relatively high cruise speed and a service ceiling of 41,000 ft for rapid climb and efficient short-haul missions. Competing types include other VLJs and light business jets in operator fleets seeking 4–6 seat executive capability with modern avionics. With engines rated at 1,820 lbf each and a typical six-seat cabin, resale and charter demand are influenced by engine maintenance status, avionics fitment such as the Garmin Prodigy suite, and the aircraft’s documented corporate maintenance history reflected in its $3,150,000 valuation.
