N656UP

This entry covers the specific airframe registration N656UP, an Embraer EMB-505 Phenom 300 built in 2016 with manufacturer serial number 50500358. The aircraft is owned by WHEELS UP PARTNERS LLC (an LLC based in New York, NY, US) and is registered in the US; the current ownership and registration are the principal recorded provenance for this airframe. Notable registry actions include its US registration under the Wheels Up corporate ownership, and the airframe carries an assessed market value of $7,500,000 reflecting its 2016 build year and typical Phenom 300 equipment standard. The airframe remains a fixed-wing, multi-engine executive jet used in VIP and charter operations under its corporate owner.

The cabin of N656UP is fitted in a typical nine-place executive layout with club seating and an executive arrangement designed for short- to mid-range business missions. Avionics are provided by the Embraer Prodigy Touch suite (Garmin G3000-based), supporting modern flight management, touchscreen controls, and integrated situational awareness for crew operations. Typical mission profiles for this airframe under WHEELS UP PARTNERS LLC include point-to-point business and charter flights within the aircraft’s 2,010 nm range and high-speed cruise capability; such operations are consistent with a New York-based owner/operator conducting regional and transcontinental hops. Maintenance considerations for this specific aircraft reflect standard Phenom 300 program requirements for PW535E engines and Prodigy Touch avionics lifecycle support under corporate operator maintenance programs.

The Embraer EMB-505 Phenom 300 occupies the light jet performance niche, offering higher cruise speeds and longer range than many legacy light jets, exemplified by this airframe’s 464 kts cruise and 2,010 nm range. Competing models in the category typically include other light-to-light mid-size jets with similar passenger counts and mission flexibility. Buyer and charter demand for a 2016 Phenom 300 like N656UP tends to favor corporate operators and fractional or membership-based programs seeking efficient short‑to‑mid-range transports; resale considerations center on engine time on the PW535E units, avionics pedigree (Prodigy Touch/Garmin G3000-based), and the airframe’s maintenance and registration history under its corporate owner.
