N673DC

This entry documents the specific airframe bearing tail number N673DC, an Embraer-built light jet delivered in 2008 with serial number 50000010. The aircraft was manufactured by Embraer S.A. and is recorded on the U.S. registry as US-registered; its listed owner is the Southern California charter corporation JetSuite, based in Van Nuys / Southern California, US. Ownership has remained under corporate registry rather than private individual names, and available valuation data places this airframe at $2,178,633, reflecting its mature market position and operational history. The airframe is categorized as a fixed-wing multi-engine light executive jet.

This specific EMB-500 airframe normally carries a typical 4–6 place executive layout and is commonly configured for 4–5 passenger executive seating, with this unit listed as a 5-seat configuration. The onboard flightdeck is installed with the Embraer Prodigy system consistent with the G1000/G3000 family variants, supporting modern glass avionics, integrated navigation and automatic flight control tailored to the platform. Operated from JetSuite’s Van Nuys base, the aircraft is deployed for short- to mid-range executive transport and ad-hoc charter missions within the continental U.S., leveraging its 1,178 nm range and 390 kt cruise speed for efficient point-to-point hops. Maintenance considerations typical to this tail—airframe age since 2008 and corporate charter usage—include routine inspection cycles for the PW617F-E engines and avionics software currency for the Prodigy/G1000-G3000 suite.

The Embraer EMB-500 Phenom 100 sits in the entry-level light jet category, offering higher cruise speeds and cabin refinement compared with turboprops while undercutting larger midsize jets on operating cost. Competing models include other entry light jets that emphasize short-field performance and low trip costs; buyer and charter demand is generally steady among corporate and fractional operators seeking a five-seat executive shuttle. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 2008 airframe focus on engine time, avionics updates, and the aircraft’s cumulative utilization under corporate charter, factors that inform the documented market value of $2,178,633.
