N636DK

This airframe, registered as N636DK, is an Embraer Phenom 300 (EMB-505) built in 2021 with manufacturer serial number 50500636. The aircraft is owned and operated by CRAIG MAY LLC, an LLC based in Chico, CA, US, and has been maintained in private company service since delivery. The airframe carries a US registration and, based on supplied valuation data, is appraised at $9,000,000, reflecting a relatively recent build and modern avionics fit. There are no public notes of prior owners or major registry actions beyond its LLC registration in Chico, California.

The cabin of this specific Phenom 300 airframe is fitted in a typical executive 6–8-place executive layout, featuring an oval cabin cross-section with a forward galley and options for a belted lavatory, configured for corporate and private transport missions. Avionics on this airframe are the Embraer Prodigy Touch suite, derived from the Garmin G3000, providing integrated flight management, touchscreen displays and advanced situational awareness for single- or two-pilot operations. Typical operations for N636DK would include short- to medium-range point-to-point missions within continental United States ranges up to its 2,010 nm capability, supporting business travel profiles from its Chico, California base. Maintenance considerations are consistent with Phenom 300-class light jets powered by PW535-series turbofans, emphasizing scheduled engine and avionics support for continued dispatch reliability.

The Embraer Phenom 300 (EMB-505) occupies the light, high-performance executive jet niche with a balance of cruise speed, range and cabin comfort that competes against models such as the Cessna Citation CJ4 and the HondaJet Elite II. With a cruise of 383 kts and a service ceiling of 45,000 ft, the type remains attractive to owner-operators and charter firms seeking efficient short- to mid-range capability. Market demand tends to favor well-equipped, recent-build examples like N636DK, which benefit from modern avionics and lower maintenance reserves; resale considerations center on engine time on wing for the PW535E family, avionics condition, and completion/amenity choices that influence charter utility and private ownership value.
