N771SS

This article describes the specific Embraer EMB-500 Phenom 100 jet registered as N771SS, built in 2011 with serial number 50000228. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by Slingshot 100 LLC of Wooster, Ohio, which operates the airframe from that home base. The airframe is a later-production Phenom 100 configured in an executive layout for five passengers and retains its original manufacturer specification of twin Pratt & Whitney Canada engines. Routine registry entries reflect standard U.S. ownership registration under the LLC; no public record of major airworthiness irregularities or extraordinary modification events is noted in the supplied data.

This airframe is completed in a five-passenger executive cabin featuring 4 pedestal seats in a club arrangement + belted aft lavatory seat (5 passenger executive layout), optimized for short to mid-range business missions and owner-flown or light charter operations. The avionics suite is a Garmin Prodigy / G1000 Prodigy fit with three 12.4" displays, a GFC 700 autopilot, GWX-68 weather radar and ADS-B Out, supporting modern situational awareness and automated flight guidance capabilities common to owner-operated light business jets. Typical missions for this specific aircraft, given its 1,178 nm range and 390 kt cruise, would include regional nonstop trips and point-to-point executive travel from its Wooster, OH base; maintenance considerations align with Phenom 100 fleet practices for PW617-series engines and Garmin Prodigy avionics updates.

The Embraer EMB-500 Phenom 100 occupies the entry-level light business jet niche, prized for cabin comfort relative to size, efficiency and low single-pilot operating capability. Competing models in this segment include other six-seat light jets and very light jets that offer similar short-field performance and owner-operator appeal. Market considerations for this airframe class emphasize engine time on the PW617F-E series, avionics retrofits or software currency for G1000/Prodigy installations, and the desirability of clean maintenance logs and single-owner operation such as the Slingshot 100 LLC ownership noted for N771SS.
