N318QS

This entry covers airframe N318QS, an Embraer-built light jet of the model Embraer EMB-505 Phenom 300 with manufacturer designation Embraer S.A. The airframe carries serial number 50500162 and was built and delivered in 2013, entered the U.S. registry upon delivery and has retained U.S. registration. Documented as a fixed-wing multi-engine airplane configured for executive transport, it is recorded with a market valuation of $8,200,000. Operator and home base details are not published in the supplied data; notable registry actions beyond initial U.S. registration are not recorded here.

The specific cabin of N318QS follows the model’s typical executive layout, configured for seven to nine passengers with a forward service/galley and an enclosed lavatory, enabling point-to-point business travel and charter missions. Avionics aboard this airframe are the Prodigy Touch suite (Garmin G3000-based), supporting advanced flight management, touchscreen flight displays, and integrated autopilot capabilities suited to single-pilot or two-pilot operations. Typical mission profiles for this configuration include short- to mid-range corporate hops up to the stated 2,010 nm ferry range and high-speed business routes at cruise speeds near 453 kts, operating from both major airports and smaller business terminals. Maintenance considerations align with light-jet schedules for the EMB-505 family and PW535E engine support requirements.

The Embraer EMB-505 Phenom 300 occupies the light/very light jet niche, prized for a combination of cabin comfort, high cruise speed, and runway performance relative to its class. Competing models in the market include other light-cabin business jets that emphasize similar short-field capability and range; buyers and charter operators often prioritize dispatch reliability, avionics modernization such as the Prodigy Touch, and lifecycle operating costs tied to engine and airframe hours. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific airframe will reflect the 2013 build year, serial 50500162, installed PW535E engines, and overall logbook condition, which together inform the documented $8,200,000 valuation.
