N65KZ

The airframe bearing tail number N65KZ is an Embraer EMB-505 Phenom 300 manufactured by Embraer S.A. in 2012 with serial number 50500103. The jet is owned by KINZE AIRCRAFT LLC, an Iowa-based limited liability company located in Williamsburg, IA, US; this ownership ties the aircraft to a U.S. operator and registry. The aircraft’s registration is US, and its assessed market value is $7,992,757, reflecting a late-model light business jet in operational condition. Acquisition by KINZE AIRCRAFT LLC and any registry updates are the most notable administrative events in the airframe’s public record.

The cabin of N65KZ conforms to the EMB-505 Phenom 300’s typical 6–9-place executive layout, most often fitted in a club seating arrangement with an optional belted aft lavatory, enabling flexible passenger configurations for corporate or private missions. This specific airframe is equipped with Embraer’s Prodigy avionics suite, originally Garmin G3000-based, with later production examples receiving the Prodigy Touch upgrade; the listed fit is Embraer Prodigy (Garmin G3000-based) / Prodigy Touch on later batches, indicating modern integrated flight decks for single-pilot or two-pilot operations. Typical missions flown by this configuration include regional business hops and manager-to-manager trips within the aircraft’s 2,010 nm range and high-speed cruise capability, staging from its owner’s base in Williamsburg, IA. Maintenance considerations align with twin-engine PW500-series support requirements and factory-recommended inspection intervals.

The Embraer EMB-505 Phenom 300 occupies the light business jet niche with a combination of high cruise speed (453 kts), useful range, and a comfortable executive cabin for up to 9 occupants. Competing models in its class include offerings from Cessna and Bombardier that vie for similar charter and owner-operator demand; the Phenom 300’s performance and modern avionics tend to sustain market interest. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 2012 airframe focus on engine time on the Pratt & Whitney Canada PW535E units and avionics upgrade paths (notably the Prodigy Touch), factors that influence its recorded value of $7,992,757.
