N996LC

This entry covers airframe N996LC, an Embraer EMB-505 Phenom 300 built in 2015 with manufacturer's serial number 50500271. The aircraft was produced by Embraer S.A. and is registered in the United States to HIGHLANDS AIR II LLC, a Duluth, Georgia-based LLC, which appears as the current and sole listed owner in the supplied data. The registry shows a standard business-ownership profile with the aircraft maintained in an executive configuration typical for the type; there are no additional published records of prior operators or notable registry actions provided in the supplied dataset. Condition and valuation specifics are not published in the provided information beyond the airframe’s factory year and equipment fit.

The airframe is outfitted in an 8-place executive layout (typical Phenom 300 arrangement), consistent with light-business-jet missions such as regional corporate travel, owner-operator use, and on-demand charter within the aircraft’s published range. Avionics are installed as Embraer Prodigy Touch (Garmin G3000-based), giving the flightdeck a modern integrated-systems fit suitable for single-pilot or two-pilot operations under commercial or private operations rules. Based on owner location and the aircraft’s performance, typical mission profiles would include transcontinental and regional hops that exploit the 2,010 nm range and a high-speed cruise near 384 kts, with operational ceilings up to 45,000 ft for optimised fuel burn and traffic deconfliction. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe would align with Phenom 300 fleet practices for PW535E engines and Garmin G3000-derived avionics, though no bespoke maintenance history was supplied.

The Embraer EMB-505 Phenom 300 family occupies the light jet segment with strong cruise speed and range for its class, competing with models such as the Cessna Citation CJ4 and Pilatus PC-24 in various mission roles. The twin Pratt & Whitney Canada PW535E engines deliver performance that supports common owner/operator and charter requirements, while the Embraer Prodigy Touch cockpit appeals to buyers seeking modern touchscreen-integrated avionics. Resale and maintenance considerations for a 2015 Phenom 300 like N996LC typically focus on engine lifecycle management and avionics/software update currency; buyer demand remains tied to overall condition, maintenance provenance, and the continuing market appetite for eight-seat light executive jets.
