N470DC

This entry covers a single airframe registered as N470DC, an Embraer-built business jet manufactured in 2006 with serial number 14500946. The aircraft is an Embraer EMB-135BJ Legacy 600 completed by manufacturer Embraer S.A. and is recorded in the US registry. The listed owner is Rance King Properties Inc, a corporation based in Long Beach, CA, US, which serves as the documented operator/home base for this airframe. Valuation and condition highlights indicate a market value of $8,000,000, reflecting its large-cabin configuration and the typical systems fit for the Legacy 600.

The cabin of N470DC follows a typical large-cabin executive layout for up to 13 passengers, incorporating a forward galley and an aft baggage compartment to support long-range business missions. Avionics fitment is reported as Honeywell Primus, the typical Legacy 600 configuration, providing integrated flight management and systems suited to mixed domestic and international routing. With a range of 3,400 nm and a cruise speed near 424 kts, the aircraft is configured for transcontinental and near-intercontinental missions operated from its Long Beach, California base. Maintenance and operational considerations for this specific airframe include the two Rolls-Royce AE 3007A1E turbofan engines common to the type and the large-cabin amenities that influence weight-and-balance and long-term maintenance scheduling.

The Embraer EMB-135BJ Legacy 600 occupies a performance niche as a large-cabin, mid-size business jet offering extended range and higher passenger capacity than many light-to-midsize competitors. Typical rivals include older Gulfstream and Bombardier models and larger-cabin derivatives from the same era; market demand centers on corporate owners and charter operators seeking roomier interiors with transcontinental capability. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe are driven by its 2006 build year, the Rolls-Royce AE 3007 engine type, and the presence of Honeywell Primus avionics, factors that affect lifecycle support costs and valuation in the pre-owned market.
