N87HG

This article describes the specific airframe N87HG, a factory-built Embraer Phenom 100 (EMB-500) manufactured by Embraer - Empresa Brasileira de Aeronáutica S.A. in 2011 with serial number 50000252. The aircraft is registered in the US and is owned by WINTER HAVEN AERO GROUP INC, a corporation based in Bradenton, FL, US. The airframe has a documented single ownership entry in the provided data and is valued at $4,000,000, reflecting condition and market positioning as of the supplied record. No additional registry actions or transfers are published in the supplied dataset.

The subject aircraft carries a factory 4‑place executive layout (single‑pilot capable) with executive writing tables and is commonly configured to accommodate a typical 4–6 pax complement in this airframe. The flight deck is fitted with a Garmin G1000 Prodigy / Embraer Prodigy Touch avionics suite, supporting single-pilot operations and modern situational awareness functions that suit short- to mid-range corporate missions. Operated from a base in Bradenton, Florida by WINTER HAVEN AERO GROUP INC, the configuration and systems indicate use in executive transport, day-range positioning flights, and short business hops within the aircraft’s 1,178 nm capability. Maintenance considerations for this airframe align with the Phenom 100’s two-engine Pratt & Whitney Canada PW617F‑E installation and the digital integrated avionics environment, with attention to factory layout components and single-pilot certification items.

The Embraer Phenom 100 (EMB-500) occupies the very light jet niche, offering higher cruise speeds and altitudes compared with many piston and turboprop light-cabin aircraft while remaining smaller and more economical than light midsize jets. Competitors in its segment include other VLJs and entry-level light jets where buyers prioritize short-field performance, single-pilot capability, and modern avionics. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 2011 airframe hinge on engine program status for the PW617F‑E units, avionics upgrades or software currency for the G1000 Prodigy/Prodigy Touch suite, and interior condition given the executive factory fit; these factors also influence the cited $4,000,000 valuation.
