N895CA

This airframe, registered as N895CA, is an Embraer-built business jet of the Embraer EMB-550 Legacy 500 type manufactured by Embraer S.A. and completed in 2016 with serial number 55000042. The aircraft is owned by DAKOTA AIR LLC, an LLC based in Scottsdale, AZ, US, and is registered in the United States. Registered to DAKOTA AIR LLC in Scottsdale, AZ, the airframe’s operator history for this entry remains limited to that ownership record. The airframe is currently valued at $15,500,000, reflecting a modern mid-size executive configuration and typical market condition for a 2016 Legacy 500.

The cabin is fitted in a typical executive layout supporting 8–12 seats with club seating and options for a forward or aft divan, a flat-floor cabin and an enclosed lavatory, matching the Legacy 500’s flexible executive configurations. Avionics are fitted typically with the Rockwell Collins / Collins Pro Line Fusion suite, providing advanced integrated flight displays and communications for high-utilization corporate operations. Range and cruise performance make the airframe well suited to transcontinental and near-oceanic point-to-point missions with a compact crew and passenger load. Based from Scottsdale, Arizona, the operator profile is consistent with charter or corporate use, and maintenance considerations follow the AS907-3-1E twin-engine program and standard Embraer legacy support pathways for mid-life aircraft.

The Embraer EMB-550 Legacy 500 occupies the midsize executive jet niche, balancing cabin comfort and performance with efficient AS907 turbofan powerplants. Typical competitors include other midsize jets offering similar transcontinental range and cruise speeds; buyer demand often centers on fractional owners, corporate flight departments, and charter operators. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 2016 airframe reflect lifecycle costs associated with avionics upgrades, engine shop visits for the AS907 series, and the market premium for well-equipped executive interiors.
