N421AJ

This airframe, registered as N421AJ, is an example of the light business jet Embraer Phenom 100 (EMB-500) built in 2009 with serial number 50000015. The aircraft is owned and operated by Empire Airlines, Inc., a corporate owner based in Lebanon, MO, US, and is registered in the US. The airframe carries a reported market valuation of $2,047,167 and is configured and maintained in a typical executive trim for single-pilot operations. There are no additional published registry actions or change-of-ownership events beyond the current corporate registration in the supplied data.

The cabin of this Phenom 100 is fitted in a typical 5–6 place executive layout with forward cabin seating and an enclosed lavatory, and it is certified for single-pilot operation. Avionics are provided by the Embraer Prodigy Touch suite, which is Garmin G3000-based, supporting modern flight management, situational awareness and single-pilot workload reduction. Operated by Empire Airlines, Inc. from its home base in Lebanon, Missouri, the aircraft’s range and cruise speed make it well suited to regional executive transport, short business hops and on-demand charter missions within the continental United States. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe reflect the common support and parts networks for the PW617F-E engines and Embraer cockpit integration; no unique airframe modifications or anomalies are noted in the supplied data.

The Embraer Phenom 100 family occupies the very light jet niche, offering compact executive accommodations, single-pilot capability and efficient short-to-medium regional performance. With a cruise near 390 kts and a 1,178 nm range, it competes with other VLJs for owner-operators and charter operators seeking low-hour, cost-effective turbofan business transport. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 2009 airframe center on engine program status, avionics condition (notably the Embraer Prodigy Touch/G3000 basis) and documented maintenance history, all of which influence market demand and lifecycle value for light corporate operators.
