N474VB

The airframe bearing tail number N474VB is an Embraer EMB-505 Phenom 300 built in 2013 by manufacturer Embraer. The aircraft is registered in the US and is owned by Western States Aviation LLC, a corporation based in Winnemucca, NV, US. This fixed-wing multi-engine executive jet has been operated in the typical light business jet role from its operator's base, with ownership and registry records reflecting corporate operation rather than individual private ownership. Condition and valuation notes specific to this airframe are not published beyond factory specification details.

The cabin in this specific EMB-505 typically follows a seven-seat executive layout, with a flexible configuration accommodating 6–8 pax depending on operator fit; for N474VB the published arrangement is a seven-seat executive interior. Avionics are provided by the Embraer Prodigy flight deck, a Garmin-based installation in the G1000/G3000 family, delivering integrated flight, navigation and systems monitoring for single-pilot or two-pilot operations. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include short-to-medium range executive transport and on-demand charter missions across regional routes consistent with a 1,972 nm range and high cruise speed, operating from the owner’s base in Winnemucca and similar regional airports. Maintenance considerations reflect common type-specific items such as dual PW535E engine upkeep and avionics software/avionics database currency for the Prodigy/Garmin suite.

The EMB-505 Phenom 300 series occupies the light jet performance niche, combining a high cruise speed of 451 kts and a 45,000 ft service ceiling with seating for seven in executive form. Competing models in this segment include late-model light jets from other manufacturers that target owner-operators and charter operators seeking high speed and range under 2,000 nm. Buyer and charter demand typically favors well-equipped, low-time examples with modern Garmin-based flight decks; as such, operators of N474VB monitor engine time on the PW535E pair and avionics currency as primary resale and operational considerations.
