N648DX

This airframe, registered as N648DX, is an Embraer Phenom 100 (EMB-500) built in 2010 with serial number 50000176. The aircraft is owned by Quest Diagnostics Clinical Laboratories Inc, a corporation based in Reading, PA, US, which serves as the documented operator and home base for registry purposes. The US-registered light jet has a factory-standard configuration and no other ownership events are published in the supplied data; its registration and corporate ownership tie the airframe to medical-laboratory corporate flight support rather than private individual use. Condition and valuation specifics were not provided.

The cabin of N648DX follows the typical Phenom 100 executive layout, accommodating 5–6 passenger configurations with club seating, a forward refreshment/galley area, an enclosed lavatory, and an aft baggage compartment of approximately 55 cu ft. The flight deck is equipped with the Embraer Prodigy (Garmin-based) avionics suite, supporting modern single-pilot IFR operations and simplified systems integration for corporate use. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include short- to mid-range executive transport and point-to-point corporate missions within the advertised 1,178 nm range and cruise speeds near 390 kts, operating from the owner’s base in Reading, PA. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe align with Phenom 100 fleet practices, including inspection and engine support tailored to the twin PW617F-E powerplants.

The Embraer Phenom 100 (EMB-500) occupies the entry-level light jet niche, offering six-seat executive transport with single-pilot capability and a service ceiling of 41,000 ft. Competing models in the segment include other light jets that emphasize short-field performance and cabin comfort for small-company or charter use. Buyer and charter demand for this class centers on low operating costs relative to midsize jets and flexibility for short to mid-range missions; resale and maintenance considerations commonly focus on avionics fit (here, the Embraer Prodigy/Garmin suite) and proven Pratt & Whitney Canada PW617F-E engine support.
