N56SB

N56SB is a 2009 Embraer EMB-500 Phenom 100 (MSN 50000090) currently registered to FLIGHT SERVICES INVESTMENTS LTD CO of Sandia Park, NM. The aircraft is certified Standard/Normal and shows an airworthiness date of 2009-12-02 with a certificate issue recorded on 2023-03-22. The airframe is a very light twin‑engine business jet configured for 4–6 passengers and single‑pilot operation in typical layouts.

This Phenom 100 is powered by two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW617F‑E turbofan engines (approx. 1,820 lbf thrust each) and is commonly used on short regional and owner/operator missions; typical missions include single‑day point‑to‑point hops, charter work, and short international hops inside continental ranges. The airplane is usually equipped with the Embraer Prodigy (Garmin G1000‑based) flight deck and a single‑zone executive cabin in a 4–6 place club configuration with an enclosed lavatory and forward baggage. Photos and spotting records show the airframe wearing a white base scheme with gold/black accent striping and regular movements in the U.S. southwest and central regions.

The Phenom 100 family entered service in 2008 as Embraer’s entry into the very light jet market and is known for high cruise speeds (high‑speed cruise near 390–406 KTAS), a 41,000 ft service ceiling, and NBAA‑style ranges around 1,100–1,200 nm depending on payload and reserves. The type competes with light jets from Cessna and Honda in owner‑operator and small charter roles; it has a reputation for good climb performance, a roomy single‑cabin executive interior for its class, and robust OEM support programs. N56SB’s configuration and registry history make it typical of privately operated Phenom 100s offered for ad‑hoc charter or owner use.
