N888QD

The airframe bearing tail number N888QD is an Embraer-built business jet delivered in 2016, serial 55000045, manufactured by Embraer S.A.. The aircraft is owned by QUAD ASCENT LLC, a corporation based in Davie, FL, US, and is registered in the US. Recorded ownership with QUAD ASCENT LLC situates the type on U.S. civil registry and ties operational basing to South Florida; no additional change-of-ownership events are published. The subject airframe carries an estimated value of $15,500,000, reflecting its mid-life position and standard executive outfitting.

This specific Embraer EMB-550 Legacy 500 is typically configured with a two-zone executive cabin and a flat-floor stand-up interior, allowing typical 8–12 passenger arrangements that include club seating and divan options; the installed seating complement is 12. Avionics aboard are the typical Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion suite, supporting advanced flight management and situational awareness for business missions. Typical operations for this airframe include transcontinental and regional point-to-point executive transport within the aircraft’s 3,125 nm range and cruise at about 466 kts, often operating from South Florida bases given ownership in Davie, FL, US. Maintenance considerations align with the Honeywell HTF7500E engine program and Embraer structural/avionics scheduled maintenance for a 2016-built Legacy 500.

The Embraer EMB-550 Legacy 500 occupies the midsize super-midsize business jet niche, offering stand-up cabin comfort and transcontinental capability without the operational costs of larger heavy jets. Competing models include midsize offerings from Bombardier and Gulfstream in overlapping mission profiles. Market demand typically favors operators seeking high-speed cruise (around 466 kts) and a near-3,200 nm range; resale and maintenance considerations for this 2016 airframe hinge on engine program enrollment, avionics standardization with Pro Line Fusion, and the documented corporate ownership structure of QUAD ASCENT LLC.
