N500VC

This entry covers the specific Embraer Legacy 500 airframe registered as N500VC, built in 2015 with manufacturer serial 55000016. The aircraft is operated in the US registry and is owned by COMMONWEALTH AIRCRAFT LEASING INC, a Wilmington, DE-based corporation, which places it in the lessor/operator pool rather than owner-operator service. No public record of multiple prior operators is provided here; maintenance and deployment have been consistent with corporate leasing use, supporting charter and fractional operations. As a 2015-build mid-size executive jet, its configuration and avionics suite reflect contemporary standards for that production period.

The individual cabin is outfitted in a nine-passenger executive layout: a forward four-place club, mid seating, and an aft three-person berthable divan opposite two club seats, complemented by a forward galley and a belted aft lavatory, delivering a typical corporate shuttle or charter mission profile. Avionics are Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion with 15-inch adaptive flight displays, synthetic vision, integrated FMS and TCAS 7.1, enabling advanced situational awareness and efficient flight planning on cross-country and regional long-range missions. Typical operations for this airframe under corporate leasing include medium-to-long-range point-to-point business travel across domestic and transcontinental routes within the stated 3,125 nm capability. Maintenance considerations follow Honeywell HTF7500E family protocols and Embraer OEM scheduled checks appropriate to a 2015 serial, with leasing ownership implying regular cyclical inspections to maintain dispatch reliability.

The Embraer Legacy 500 (EMB-550) occupies the mid-size, long-range business jet niche with a combination of transcontinental range, a 45,000 ft ceiling and a nine-passenger executive interior, competing with models in the midsize-twin category. Its Honeywell HTF7500E engines deliver thrust supporting efficient cruise at 448 knots, appealing to corporate flight departments and charter operators seeking modern avionics and cabin flexibility. Market demand for 2015-series Legacy 500 airframes tends to favor leasing entities and charter operators due to the type’s balance of range, cabin comfort and operating economics; resale and maintenance considerations center on engine shop visit histories, Pro Line Fusion avionics status, and cabin refurbishments tied to lessor standards.
