N777JQ

This article covers the specific Embraer EMB-500 Phenom 100 airframe bearing registration N777JQ, constructor year 2009 and manufacturer serial number 50000072, operated in the United States. The aircraft is registered to PARADISE AIR LLC of Anaheim, CA, US, reflecting its current ownership and operator base. The airframe is listed with a market valuation of $2,050,000 and is configured and advertised in recent listings with a full Garmin flight deck fit. Registration and ownership are recorded in U.S. civil registers under an LLC based in Anaheim, California.

The interior of this specific Phenom 100 is a six-seat executive arrangement in a 4+2 layout (four main passenger seats plus two belted aft seats), and it retains a belted lavatory with a rigid door as advertised. Avionics as listed on recent offerings show a Garmin G1000 Prodigy flight deck, including GDU-1240 displays, GFC-700 autopilot, GDL-69A datalink and GTX-33D Mode S transponder, supporting single-pilot operations and modern situational awareness. Typical mission profiles for this airframe would include short to mid-range corporate trips and on-demand charter hops within the aircraft’s 1,178 nm range and cruise performance around 333 kts, operated from its Anaheim, California base. Maintenance considerations mirror the Phenom 100 fleet commonality—twin PW617F-E engines and avionics-specific scheduled inspections—while the belted lavatory and aft seating may affect weight-and-balance and charter compliance.

The Embraer EMB-500 Phenom 100 occupies the entry-level very light jet niche, offering light-jet performance with a maximum certified ceiling of 41,000 ft and efficient short-to-mid-range capability. Competitors in the segment include models from Cessna and HondaJet equivalents; buyer and charter demand typically favor airframes with modern avionics packages and well-documented maintenance histories. For resale and operating cost considerations, this airframe’s twin PW617F-E engines, Garmin G1000 Prodigy fitment, and the recorded valuation of $2,050,000 are primary factors influencing marketability and ongoing maintenance planning.
