N453QS

This article documents airframe N453QS, an Embraer EMB-505 Phenom 300E manufactured by Embraer Executive Jets (Embraer S.A.) and completed in 2022 with serial number 50500683. The airframe is registered in the US and is owned by Aquarius Capital Partners LLC, an LLC based in Coral Gables, FL, US. Registered to a corporate owner in Coral Gables, the aircraft is maintained and operated under that entity’s management framework. Current market valuation for this specific Phenom 300E is listed at $5,600,000.

The airframe is outfitted in an operator-dependent executive interior configured to accommodate Executive 6–9 passenger club layout with a forward galley and belted lavatory as noted for the Phenom 300E; the cabin arrangement supports typical light business jet missions such as short- to medium-range corporate transport. Avionics are the typical fit for the type, Garmin G3000 (Prodigy Touch), providing integrated flight decks and touch-screen controls appropriate for single-pilot or two-pilot operations depending upon operator preference. With a nine-seat certification and a 2,010 nm range, the aircraft is well suited to point-to-point domestic flights and regional international hops from its Coral Gables area base of ownership. Maintenance considerations follow Embraer’s recommended schedules for the EMB-505 and the Pratt & Whitney Canada PW535E engines, with operator-specific tracking for utilization and calendar-based inspections.

The Embraer EMB-505 Phenom 300E occupies the light jet performance niche offering high cruise speeds and an elevated ceiling relative to many light-turbofan competitors. Competing models in this segment typically include other entry-level light jets that balance cabin comfort and short-field performance. Buyer and charter demand for late-model Phenom 300E airframes is influenced by low-hour examples and factory-equipped avionics like the Garmin G3000 (Prodigy Touch); resale considerations hinge on engine cycles, avionics upgrades, and interior condition for executive-configured examples such as this one.
