N439EE

This entry documents airframe N439EE, an Embraer-built light business jet completed in 2024 as a factory production example of the Embraer EMB-500 Phenom 100EX with serial number 50000439. The aircraft is owned by the trust Bank of Utah Trustee, based in Salt Lake City, UT, US, and is U.S.-registered. Delivered new in 2024 and held in trust ownership at inception, the airframe's contemporary configuration and limited operational age underpin an estimated market valuation of $4,950,000 and suggest low-cycle condition relative to older fleet peers.

The airframe features a typical executive interior described as a 4–7 place layout with optional side‑facing seat and belted lavatory, offering approximately ~11 ft of cabin length and 5 ft 1 in width suitable for short-haul corporate missions. Avionics are specified as Prodigy Touch (based on Garmin G3000 / Garmin Prodigy family) consistent with the Phenom 100EX outfitting, supporting modern flight decks and single-pilot IFR operations. Typical missions for this aircraft type and configuration include short to mid-range executive transport, city-to-city hops from the operator’s Salt Lake City base, and on-demand charter or trust-held corporate repositioning. As a relatively new production example, maintenance considerations emphasize scheduled manufacturer-recommended inspections and initial warranty/airworthiness tracking rather than heavy component overhauls.

The Embraer EMB-500 Phenom 100EX occupies the entry-level very light jet niche, pairing turbofan efficiency with a compact executive cabin and transcontinental single-leg capability out to roughly 1,178 nm. Competitors in its class include other VLJs offering similar cruise speeds near 406 kts and ceilings up to 41,000 ft; buyer and charter demand tends toward newer, low-cycle airframes for reliability and avionics currency. Resale and maintenance profiles for this airframe will benefit from its 2024 build date, modern Prodigy Touch/G3000 avionics, and OEM powerplants (PW617F1-E), but long-term value will follow typical light-jet market dynamics and utilization.
