N490QS

This airframe, registered as N490QS, is an Embraer Phenom 300E (EMB-505) built in 2025 with serial number 50500877. The aircraft is owned and operated by NetJets Aviation, a United States‑based corporation, and is registered in the US. Delivered into NetJets' fractional fleet in 2025, the airframe entered service under corporate ownership and has been maintained to meet the operator's fleet standards. Valuation records list the aircraft at $9,650,000, reflecting current market positioning for late‑model Phenom 300E examples.

This specific Phenom 300E is configured with a typical 6–8 place executive layout featuring executive club seating and belted lavatory options, reflecting NetJets' common cabin arrangements for short‑ to medium‑range executive missions. Avionics are provided by the Embraer Prodigy Touch suite, a Garmin G3000‑based system that supports advanced flight management, touchscreen controls and integrated situational awareness for single‑pilot or two‑pilot operations. Typical mission profiles for the airframe include regional point‑to‑point executive transport within North America and transcontinental light business flights within its 2,010 nm range. As a fleet aircraft, its maintenance and inspection regimen conforms to NetJets' centralized maintenance program, with records and serviceability aligned to corporate standards.

The Embraer Phenom 300E family occupies the light jet high‑performance niche, offering a balance of speed, range and cabin comfort against competitors in its class. With a cruise speed of 453 kts and a service ceiling of 45,000 ft, the model competes with light jets such as the Cessna Citation CJ4 and the HondaJet Elite II for charter and fractional ownership demand. For buyers and fractional operators, the Phenom 300E's operational economics, avionics suite and resale value—illustrated by this airframe's $9,650,000 valuation—are central considerations in maintenance planning and secondary‑market activity.
