N517TX

This entry describes airframe N517TX, an Embraer-built light business jet of model Embraer EMB-505 Phenom 300 / Phenom 300E delivered in 2023 with manufacturer's serial number 50500715. The airframe is currently owned by TRANSMEDICS INC, a corporation based in Belgrade, MT, US, which appears as the registered operator/home base for the type certificate jurisdiction of this U.S.-registered jet. Delivered new in 2023 and entered on U.S. civil registry as N517TX, the example retains its factory specification and executive cabin layout. The airframe's reported market valuation at time of record is $10,500,000, reflecting a recent-build Phenom 300-series example in typical executive configuration.

The aircraft carries a standard 8-place executive cabin fit consistent with the typical Phenom 300/300E executive layout, configured for business transport and short- to mid-range missions. Avionics are the Embraer Prodigy Touch suite, the manufacturer-installed Garmin G3000-based integrated flight deck that supports single-pilot or two-pilot operations in Part 91 or Part 135 contexts. Typical missions for this airframe profile include point-to-point corporate travel across continental ranges up to the published 2,010 nm, high-speed transit at its 453 kts cruise, and regional airlift into airports with performance demands matched to the PW535E1 powerplant. Maintenance considerations follow factory schedules for new-build Phenom 300/300E examples, with weight-and-balance, interior maintenance and avionics software updates monitored under the owning corporation’s maintenance program.

The Embraer EMB-505 Phenom 300/300E family occupies the light-cabin, high-speed segment, offering a balance of short-field performance and transcontinental capability within its class. Competing types include other light-to-super-light business jets that target eight-passenger executive missions; the Phenom line is frequently chosen for its cabin ergonomics, Garmin G3000-based avionics integration and favorable operating economics. For operators and buyers, maintenance and resale considerations emphasize engine program enrollment for the PW535E1s, up-to-date avionics support for the Prodigy Touch suite, and the benefits of a 2023 serial example when assessing lifecycle cost and near-term depreciation.
