N654UP

This entry covers the specific airframe N654UP, an Embraer EMB-505 Phenom 300 built in 2013 with manufacturer serial number 50500122 by EMBRAER EXECUTIVE AIRCRAFT INC. The jet is owned by WHEELS UP PARTNERS LLC, a corporation based in New York, NY, US, and is registered in the US. Service and valuation records list the airframe value at $8,513,121, reflecting its status as a relatively young light jet in corporate fleet use and its operator’s fleet-management environment.

This specific Phenom 300 is outfitted in a typical executive interior configured for 6–8 passengers with a belted aft lavatory, supporting corporate and charter missions that prioritize short to mid-range point-to-point travel. Avionics fit is the Embraer Prodigy Touch / Garmin-based Prodigy suite, providing integrated flight management, touchscreen displays, and modern situational awareness capabilities used by fleet crews. Operated under corporate ownership by WHEELS UP PARTNERS LLC, the airframe is suited for frequent turn operations, on-demand charter legs, and member-based short-haul services; routine maintenance considerations align with twin-engine light-jet practices for PW535E engines and Prodigy avionics updates. Ownership by a fleet operator indicates centralized maintenance tracking and consistent utilization compared with privately owned examples.

The Embraer EMB-505 Phenom 300 occupies the light jet performance niche with high cruise speed and competitive range for its class, often compared to other light-cabin competitors in charter and corporate fleets. Buyers and charter operators prize its speed and cabin flexibility for point-to-point regional travel; resale considerations for this airframe reflect its build year, serial lineage, and operator maintenance pedigree. Engine commonality with Pratt & Whitney Canada PW535E examples and the Garmin-based Prodigy avionics suite influence maintenance scheduling, parts logistics, and market demand for similarly equipped fleet aircraft.
