Model & Market Context
N56CH is a 2019 Embraer EMB-550 Legacy 500 (MSN 55000081) registered to CMH HOMES INC (Clayton Homes) and normally operated in VIP configuration. The airframe was certificated in September 2019 and has appeared in public photos at multiple U.S. GA airports through 2024. The Legacy 500 airframe combines a stand-up flat-floor cabin with a long-range mission profile and modern systems suited to corporate and charter operations.
N56CH is configured for executive transport (typical 8–12 passenger VIP layout) and shows evidence of standard Legacy 500 equipment: two Honeywell AS907-3-1E (HTF7500E) turbofan engines, an integrated Pro Line Fusion-class avionics fit and a large aft baggage volume. Typical missions for this configuration are cross‑country continental trips and transcontinental point-to-point charters requiring cabin comfort and good runway performance at medium field lengths.
The Legacy 500 (EMB-550) is a mid‑size business jet developed from Embraer’s E‑Jet family that introduced a fly‑by‑wire flight control system, a stand‑up flat cabin and competitive range/speed for its class. Performance places the model among true long‑range midsize jets: long‑range cruise speeds in the mid‑400 kt range, service ceiling near 45,000 ft and NBAA‑range capability suitable for coast‑to‑coast missions. The type competes with late‑model Challengers and Praetors in the midsize market and remains attractive to owner‑operators and corporate flight departments seeking a modern, amenity‑rich cabin with strong operating economics.
