N417QS

This entry describes airframe N417QS, an Embraer-built light jet completed in 2017 with manufacturer serial number 50500444. The airframe is an Embraer EMB-505 Phenom 300 manufactured by Embraer S.A. and is registered in the US; current recorded owner is NetJets Sales Inc of Oklahoma City, OK, US. The aircraft’s corporate ownership and registry situate it within fractional and corporate operational pools, and it carries an estimated market valuation of $9,500,000. Acquisition by NetJets Sales Inc is the principal notable ownership action recorded for this specific airframe.

The cabin of N417QS is configured in a Typical 6–8-place executive club layout (operator-specific fit), consistent with operator-specific fit-outs used in fractional or corporate service and accommodating up to 8 passengers in executive seating. Avionics are installed as Prodigy Touch (Garmin G3000-based), providing integrated flight management, touchscreen displays and modern situational awareness tools suited to single-pilot or two-pilot operations common in this class. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include short to mid-range business trips within the continental United States and transcontinental sectors near the aircraft’s maximum range of 2,010 nm, operating from NetJets’ Oklahoma City base and related network hubs. Maintenance considerations align with light-jet practices for the Phenom 300 series, including engine and avionics support for the PW535E and Garmin-based suites, and operator-specific inspection schedules under NetJets’ centralized programs.

The Embraer EMB-505 Phenom 300 occupies the light-cabin, high-performance segment of business jets, offering a fast cruise of 383 kts and a service ceiling of 45,000 ft. It competes with late-model offerings from manufacturers such as Cessna and Pilatus, appealing to fractional operators and corporate buyers seeking a balance of speed, cabin comfort for up to 8 seats, and efficient operating economics. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect typical Phenom 300 market dynamics: steady demand for well-equipped, low-time examples with modern Garmin-based avionics and corporate maintenance provenance, influencing the airframe’s valuation at $9,500,000.
