N485QS

This airframe, N485QS, is an Embraer EMB-505 Phenom 300E manufactured by Embraer S.A. and completed in 2024 with serial number 50500823. The aircraft is owned and operated by NetJets Aviation, a corporation based in Columbus, OH, US, and is registered in the United States. Built in 2024 and entered directly into NetJets' fractional fleet, the airframe reflects current production standards for the model. Valuation records list the airframe at $9,650,000, reflecting its new-build condition and corporate ownership.

The cabin is fitted in a typical 6-seat executive layout consistent with light jet corporate missions and fractional ownership operations. Avionics aboard this airframe use the Embraer Prodigy Touch (Garmin G3000-based) suite, providing integrated flight management, touchscreen control and modern situational awareness tailored to crewed short- to medium-haul operations. Operated from NetJets' base in Columbus, OH, US, the aircraft is configured for business travel, regional point-to-point trips and repositioning flights common to fractional fleet utilization. Maintenance and operational practices follow NetJets’ corporate program standards for a new-production Phenom 300E, with manufacturer support expected under typical fleet agreements.

The Embraer EMB-505 Phenom 300E occupies the light jet performance niche with high cruise speed and transregional range, offering a blend of speed (approximately 464 kts) and a 2,010 nm ferry capability. Competing models in the segment typically include other light jets offering similar seat counts and mission profiles; demand is driven by fractional and charter operators seeking modern avionics and efficient operating economics. For resale and maintenance considerations, a 2024-built, corporation-owned example like N485QS benefits from full documentation, factory-new systems and standardized fleet maintenance, which support retained value and predictable operating costs.
