N636SD

This entry documents airframe N636SD, an Embraer-built light business jet delivered in 2009 with serial number 50000117. The aircraft is a factory-built Embraer EMB-500 Phenom 100 and is registered in the US; it is owned by Old Bonita Air LLC (an LLC based in Marshall, TX, US). Acquired and operated under that single LLC ownership, the airframe’s recorded valuation is $4,100,000, reflecting market position for early-production Phenom 100s and its documented equipment fit. Registry activity is limited to its US registration and ownership by the Marshall, Texas–based operator.

The onboard cabin is fitted in a typical executive club arrangement with 4‑place seating concentrated in the forward cabin; configurations for a belted lavatory or optional divan are acknowledged as possible factory or retrofit options. Avionics are a modern executive fit with the Prodigy flight deck / Prodigy Touch (Garmin-based modern executive flight deck), supporting single-pilot or two-pilot operations typical for light jets in this class. Operationally the Phenom 100 configured as N636SD is suited to short-to-medium sector business missions within the continental United States, frequently flown out of its owner/operator base in Marshall, TX. Routine maintenance considerations follow Embraer and Pratt & Whitney Canada schedules for the PW617F-E engines and avionics software/upgrade cycles.

The Embraer EMB-500 Phenom 100 family occupies the entry-level very light jet niche, offering high cruise speeds and a 41,000 ft ceiling for fast point-to-point business travel. Competitors include other VLJs and light jets with similar mission profiles; buyer and charter demand tends to favor low-hour, well-equipped examples. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect its early serial series position (50000117), Pratt & Whitney engine type, and the installed Prodigy/Prodigy Touch avionics suite, all factors that influence marketability and valuation.
