N960RT

The airframe bearing tail number N960RT is an Embraer EMB-505 Phenom 300 manufactured by Embraer Executive Aircraft in 2017, serial 50500413. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by DOT FOODS INC, a corporation based in Mount Sterling, IL, US; the current record indicates the company as the operator/home base. Acquisition by DOT FOODS INC is the primary notable ownership event in the available record. There are no separate published registry actions or valuation details beyond the registration and ownership entry for this specific airframe.

The aircraft carries a manufacturer-typical executive cabin configured for 8-passenger seating, consistent with the described interior layout for this airframe. Flightdeck fit for this Phenom 300 is the Embraer Prodigy Touch, which is a Garmin G3000-based avionics suite in the standard fit for the model, supporting modern flight management, touchscreen controls, and integrated flight displays. Typical mission profiles for this airframe, given its 2,010 nm range and 464 kts cruise, include regional corporate trips, point-to-point executive transport across the continental United States, and short international hops from Midwestern bases such as Mount Sterling, IL. Maintenance considerations align with the Phenom 300 family’s twin-PW535E engine support and Embraer-recognized service intervals; specific individual aircraft maintenance history is not published here.

The Embraer EMB-505 Phenom 300 occupies the light business jet performance niche, offering a combination of high cruise speed (here 464 kts) and transcontinental-appropriate range (2,010 nm) for an eight-seat executive layout. Competitors in this class typically include light jets like the Cessna Citation CJ4 and the HondaJet Elite II, with buyer demand driven by corporate owner-operators and charter operators seeking speed, cabin comfort, and modern avionics. For resale and maintenance considerations, the presence of PW535E engines and the Prodigy Touch/G3000 flightdeck are common support advantages, though individual valuation and condition depend on the aircraft’s logbook, avionics options, and completed maintenance records not detailed in this dataset.
