N481QS

The airframe bearing tail number N481QS is an Embraer factory-built light business jet detailed as a Embraer EMB-505 Phenom 300E with serial number 50500811. Build year: Not published. The aircraft is owned by NetJets Aviation (registered/operated by NetJets Sales Inc.) with the corporate owner located in Oklahoma City, OK, US, and it operates in NetJets’ fractional ownership fleet. No public record of notable registry actions is published for this airframe. Attributable valuation for this specific Phenom 300E is listed at $14,000,000, reflecting its configuration and market positioning rather than any disclosed damage or refurbishment history.

This netJets-configured airframe carries a typical executive cabin in a 6–8 passenger club configuration with a forward galley and an enclosed lavatory, reflecting the standard NetJets layout for the Phenom 300E series. Avionics are provided by the Embraer Prodigy Touch suite, which is Garmin G3000-based, supporting advanced flight management, touchscreen controllers, and integrated flight displays used on corporate missions. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include short- to mid-range point-to-point business travel within a continental theater up to its 2,010 nm range and leveraging a fast cruise near 453 kts and a 45,000 ft ceiling for efficient, high-speed climbs and cruise segments. As a corporate-fleet aircraft, maintenance and crewing are managed under NetJets’ OEM-aligned programs and fleet maintenance protocols.

The Embraer EMB-505 Phenom 300E occupies a high-performing light jet niche, prized for its combination of cabin comfort, climb performance, and speed relative to peers. Competing models include light-cabin offerings from other manufacturers that target similar mission lengths and passenger counts. Demand among fractional ownership operators and owner-operators remains strong for well-equipped Phenom 300E examples due to favorable operating economics and modern avionics like the Embraer Prodigy Touch. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe are influenced by its fractional-operator history, factory-standard interior, and the presence of OEM engines—2× Pratt & Whitney Canada PW535E1—which benefit from established maintenance support networks.
