N897JH

The airframe bearing tail number N897JH is an Embraer Phenom 300 (EMB-505) manufactured by Embraer Executive Aircraft (Embraer S.A.) and completed in 2015 with serial number 50500318. The aircraft is recorded as owned by JACK HENRY & ASSOCIATES INC, a corporation based in Monett, MO, US, and operates on a United States registration. The airframe’s documented valuation is $7,500,000, reflecting its mid-decade build and equipment fit. The transfer into corporate registry under JACK HENRY & ASSOCIATES INC marks the most notable ownership event in the available record.

This specific EMB-505 is outfitted in an 8-seat executive layout consistent with the FAA record listing eight seats, providing a typical light business jet cabin configuration for short to mid‑range corporate missions. The avionics fit for the EMB-505 family on this airframe is consistent with Embraer Prodigy Touch / Garmin G3000, supporting modern glass‑cockpit functionality, synthetic vision, and integrated flight management for single‑pilot or two‑pilot operations. With a cruise of 453 kts and a maximum certified ceiling of 45,000 ft, this aircraft is optimized for high‑speed point‑to‑point corporate travel and on-demand charter legs within its 2,010 nm range. Based in Monett, Missouri for registry purposes, the operator profile suggests corporate transport, regional executive travel, and light charter use where runway performance and airport accessibility are priorities.

The Embraer Phenom 300 (EMB-505) family occupies the light‑jet niche combining relatively high cruise speed and range for its class, making it competitive against contemporaries from Cessna and Bombardier. Typical competitors include light jets offering similar mission capability and single‑pilot certification options. Buyers and operators of a 2015 Phenom 300 often value the PW535E powerplant’s proven reliability and the G3000/Prodigy Touch avionics when assessing maintenance outlook and resale value. The listed valuation of $7,500,000 places this airframe within expected market ranges for a mid‑2010s Phenom 300 with executive cabin and modern avionics, factors that influence charter demand and trade‑in desirability.
