The avionics fit for this airframe is Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion, supporting modern flight-deck capabilities and operational flexibility for charter and corporate missions. Typical missions for the airframe would encompass medium‑to‑long single‑leg business travel consistent with its 3,125 nm range and a cruise speed of 448 kts, operating from its owner/operator base in Vernon, CA, or charters throughout the continental US. Maintenance considerations match those of late‑model Embraer midsize jets with twin HONEYWELL AS907-3-1E engines and operator-configurable interiors.

The Embraer EMB-550 Legacy 500 family occupies the mid-size executive jet niche, offering transcontinental range with a high‑speed cruise and a maximum operating ceiling of 45,000 ft, as exemplified by this airframe. Competing models in this performance bracket typically attract buyer and charter demand for modern avionics suites such as the Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion and flexible cabin layouts ranging from 8 to 12 seats, reflected here by the listed 12 seats and reported 9‑seat charter configurations. Resale and maintenance considerations for this particular serial and build year include engine type (HONEYWELL AS907-3-1E) lifecycle tracking and the market valuation at $16,484,639, factors that influence charter operator deployment and secondary-market appeal.
