N457QS

The airframe bearing tail number N457QS is an Embraer Phenom 300E built in 2022, serial 50500704, and recorded on the US registry. This specific EMB-505 was manufactured by Embraer and is owned by NetJets Sales Inc. (a corporate owner). Notable for entering a fractional operator-related sales pool, the airframe is aligned with fleet-standard NetJets Phenom 300 configurations and management practices. No separate third-party operator or change of registry is published beyond its US registration and corporate ownership.

The cabin for this airframe is an executive configuration described as a 6–9 place executive cabin, with this particular example configured by NetJets in an 8-seat layout typical of their Phenom 300 fleet; the interior is therefore optimized for short- to medium-range corporate and fractional missions. Avionics are fitted with the Embraer Prodigy Touch system, which is Garmin G3000-based and supports advanced flight management, integrated displays, and synthetic vision capabilities as used in modern light-jet operations. Typical missions for this aircraft type and configuration include point-to-point business travel and short regional hops that leverage the aircraft’s cruise speed and range; fleet maintenance and cockpit avionics commonality are consistent with operator-standard procedures for NetJets-configured Phenom 300Es. Maintenance considerations for this airframe follow factory recommendations for the EMB-505 and the PW535E1 engines as applied across corporate fleet programs.

The Embraer Phenom 300E (EMB-505) occupies the light jet performance niche with a balance of cruise speed, range, and single-pilot-capable systems; at 464 kts cruise and a 2,010 nm range it competes with similar light-cabin jets in fractional and owner-operator markets. Common competitors include other high-performance light jets that emphasize cabin comfort and range for regional missions. Demand is driven by fractional ownership and charter operators seeking high-utilization, low-cycle airframes with modern avionics suites; resale and maintenance considerations typically focus on engine cycles for the Pratt & Whitney Canada PW535E1 units and the upkeep of the Prodigy Touch/G3000 avionics integration.
