N68ER

The airframe bearing registration N68ER is an Embraer-built light jet delivered in 2009, serial number 50000011, and is currently listed under United States registration. The documented owner is STARWOOD AIR LLC, an LLC based in Missoula, MT, US; the aircraft is registered to STARWOOD AIR LLC in Missoula, MT. This specific Phenom 100 is a factory-built Embraer EMB-500 Phenom 100 with a typical valuation shown at $2,300,000, reflecting its model year and equipment set. No additional operators or notable registry actions are published beyond the known ownership record.

This airframe is configured in an executive layout consistent with the Phenom 100 family; the cabin is described as an executive 4–6 place club configuration typical with an enclosed lavatory option on many builds noted for the model. Avionics are fitted with the Prodigy Flight Deck, built on the Garmin G1000 platform, with a G1000 NXi upgrade available as an option—an avionics suite that supports single-pilot operations and modern situational displays. Typical mission profiles for this aircraft type and equipment include short-haul corporate trips, intrastate or regional shuttle flights within the aircraft’s 1,178 nm range and high-speed cruise capability of 389 kts, operating from its owner’s base in Missoula, Montana. Maintenance considerations align with light-jet practices for twin PW617F-E engines and Garmin-based avionics lifecycle upgrades.

The Embraer EMB-500 Phenom 100 occupies the entry-level business jet niche for buyers seeking light, efficient point-to-point capability with a high cruise speed and 41,000 ft ceiling. Competing models in this segment typically include other entry-level light jets offering similar single-pilot capability and short-field performance. Demand from owner-operators and charter operators favors well-equipped examples with Prodigy/Garmin suites and low-time engines; resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe will reflect its 2009 build year, serial 50000011, twin PW617F-E engines, and the presence or absence of avionics upgrades.
