N562TM

The airframe bearing tail number N562TM is an Embraer EMB-505 Phenom 300 built in 2011, serial 50500059. The aircraft is owned by Valley Horizons LLC, a corporation based in Long Beach, CA, US, and is registered in the US. The specific Phenom 300 has been configured and maintained for specialized missions rather than standard executive transport, and it carries an estimated market value of $11,000,000. Notable for its modified cabin outfitted with camera operator consoles and mission stations for aerial filming, this airframe departs from the factory-standard executive interior.

The cabin of this specific EMB-505 carries a flexible executive layout typical for the type—normally 6–9 seats—but was modified in this airframe with camera operator consoles and mission stations for aerial filming, adapting it for film and media operations rather than standard corporate ferrying. Avionics are fitted with the Embraer Prodigy Touch suite (a Garmin G3000-based system), supporting advanced navigation, situational awareness and mission-specific avionics integration. Operated from Long Beach, CA under ownership by Valley Horizons LLC, typical missions for this configuration emphasize short- to medium-range aerial filming sorties along coastal and urban environments within the aircraft’s 2,010 nm range and at operational cruise speeds near 453 kts. Maintenance considerations for this airframe include managing mission-specific equipment weight and camera system integration alongside regular PW535E engine and Prodigy Touch avionics upkeep.

The Embraer EMB-505 Phenom 300 occupies the light business jet performance niche, offering single-pilot certification potential, high cruise speeds and a 45,000 ft service ceiling that appeal to corporate, charter and special-mission buyers. Competing models in its segment include light-to-medium jets that trade off cabin size for speed and operating economics. Demand in the market typically favors well-equipped, low-cycle examples; specialized modifications such as aerial filming consoles can limit immediate resale pool but increase value to niche operators. Maintenance and resale considerations for this airframe reflect the balance between the Phenom 300’s strong performance metrics and the need to document and certify mission-specific modifications against factory configurations.
