N538WS

The airframe bearing tail number N538WS is an Embraer Phenom 300 (EMB-505) built in 2011 with manufacturer serial number 50500025. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by the corporation Dodson International Parts Inc, based in Rantoul, KS, US. As a specific airframe within Embraer’s light business jet production, this unit’s operational records center on corporate ownership rather than individual operator history; no public record of multiple ownership transfers is cited in the provided data. Registry and maintenance entries for this serial reflect standard fleet integration for a 2011 EMB-505, with no published valuation or detailed condition report included in the supplied data.

This specific Phenom 300 is configured with a typical seven-place executive cabin, featuring club seating and an optional belted lavatory arrangement, consistent with the EMB-505’s standard executive interior layouts. Avionics are fitted with Embraer’s Prodigy Touch suite, a derivative of the Garmin G3000, providing integrated flight management, touchscreen displays, and advanced situational awareness for single- or two-pilot operations. Operated from the owner’s base in Rantoul, Kansas, the aircraft’s performance—long range for a light jet and high cruise speed—suits regional business missions, charter hops, and point-to-point executive transport within North America. Maintenance considerations align with Phenom 300 fleet practices for PW535E-powered examples, emphasizing scheduled engine and avionics support.

The Embraer Phenom 300 (EMB-505) occupies the light business jet niche, offering high cruise speed and transcontinental range competitive with other light/midsize jets. With a 2,010 nm range and 453 kts cruise, it competes against models such as the Cessna Citation CJ4 and Bombardier Learjet variants in missions requiring fast, efficient regional travel. Buyer and charter demand typically favor the type for its cabin flexibility (7-place executive layout) and modern avionics (Prodigy Touch/G3000 lineage). For resale and maintenance, examples built in 2011 require attention to mid-life systems checks, engine time tracking for the PW535E powerplants, and updates to avionics or interior refurbishments as market expectations evolve.
