N394FX

This airframe, registered in the United States as N394FX, is an Embraer-built light business jet of the Phenom 300E line, manufactured by Embraer S.A. in 2023 and carrying serial number 50500758. The aircraft is owned by the fractional and charter operator FLEXJET LLC, a Cleveland, OH–based corporation, and is configured and maintained for fractional/charter operations. The airframe’s documented value is $10,295,000, reflecting recent-market pricing for a new-production Phenom 300E with a factory-standard executive fit and Prodigy flight deck. Registered and operated under US civil registry, the jet’s paperwork indicates standard delivery and entry into service with its named corporate owner.

The specific cabin of N394FX is arranged in a typical eight-seat executive layout designed for fractional and charter use, featuring club seating and a dedicated refreshment center to support short- to medium-haul business missions. Avionics are provided by the Embraer Prodigy Touch (Prodigy Flight Deck), a glass cockpit suite that supports single-pilot certification options and modern situational awareness for two-pilot operations in commercial service. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include regional point-to-point trips within North America and transcontinental sectors within its 2,010 nm range, leveraging a high cruise speed and 45,000 ft operating ceiling to optimize block times. Maintenance and operational practices follow fractional-operator norms, with scheduled inspections and management under the owner-operator’s Cleveland-based maintenance program.

The Embraer 505 Phenom 300E occupies the light jet performance niche with one of the fastest cruise profiles in its class and competitive range for eight-passenger executive missions. Competing models in the segment include other light to super-light business jets that prioritize speed, cabin comfort, and low operating costs; demand from fractional and charter buyers remains strong for factory-new examples with the Prodigy suite. For operators and prospective buyers, considerations include lifecycle maintenance of the Pratt & Whitney Canada PW535E powerplants, avionics upgrade pathways centered on the Prodigy Touch, and residual-value trends that are influenced by fleet support from Embraer and the appeal of turnkey fractional-configured cabins.
