N390SJ

This entry covers airframe N390SJ, an Embraer Phenom 100 (EMB-500) built in 2010 with manufacturer serial number 50000203 and U.S. registration. The aircraft is recorded as a fixed-wing multi engine platform produced by Embraer S.A. and retains its original twin-engine configuration. The cabin was refurbished and completed in 2025 by AeroStar Aviation, a notable update in the airframe's timeline. Valuation at the most recent assessment is $2,139,968; other specific ownership timeline details, operator or home base, and registry action history are not published.

The specific cabin fit for N390SJ is a four-passenger center-club seating arrangement completed in 2025 by AeroStar Aviation, which aligns the aircraft for executive short-haul transport and owner-flown missions. Avionics on this airframe are a Garmin G1000 Prodigy (NXi) suite with three 12.4" displays, dual AHRS, dual ADC, FMS, TAWS-B and a Mode-S transponder, supporting single-pilot operations and modern navigation/terrain awareness capabilities. Typical mission profiles for the Phenom 100 airframe include regional point-to-point trips within the aircraft’s 1,178 nm range and high-speed cruise at about 390 kts, operating from business airports and smaller fields compatible with light jet performance. Maintenance considerations for this specific aircraft reflect standard twin PW617F-E engine schedules and avionics support requirements consistent with the NXi avionics ecosystem.

The Embraer Phenom 100 (EMB-500) family occupies the entry-level very light jet market, offering high cruise speed and a 41,000 ft service ceiling for efficient short-to-mid-range business travel. Competing models in the segment include other VLJs and light jets that prioritize owner-operator ergonomics and low-crew costs; resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe are influenced by its upgraded cabin and modern Garmin G1000 Prodigy (NXi) avionics fit. The continued demand for well-equipped, low-time Phenom 100s supports market interest, while operators should factor in Pratt & Whitney Canada PW617F-E engine support contracts and component overhaul cycles when assessing lifecycle cost and resale value.
