N130EC2010 Embraer Phenom 100

Overview

The airframe bearing tail number N130EC is an Embraer EMB-500 Phenom 100 built by Embraer S.A. in 2010, serial 50000121. It is owned by Ste Aviation LLC, a corporation based in Lincoln, NE, US, and carries United States registration. Condition highlights for this specific aircraft are typical of single-owner corporate examples of its vintage, with manufacturer-standard systems and a preserved executive interior profile.

Operations & Cabin

The cabin in this airframe is finished in a typical five-passenger executive layout, configured as 1 crew + 5 pax, and features the Embraer “OvalLite” cabin profile with a belted lavatory and forward and aft baggage compartments. Avionics are fitted with the Embraer Prodigy Flight Deck, employing three large interchangeable displays; this airframe reflects the modern Prodigy architecture as used on later Phenom installations (earlier fitments used a Garmin-based architecture). Operationally, the aircraft suits short to mid-range executive missions within its 1,178 nm range and is typically deployed from its owner’s Nebraska base for business hops and regional repositioning. Maintenance considerations align with light-jet PW600-series engine care and standard Embraer service intervals.

Model & Market Context

The Embraer EMB-500 Phenom 100 occupies the light executive jet niche emphasizing high cruise speed, efficient twin-PW600 powerplants, and a compact executive cabin. Competing models in its market segment include other entry-level business jets that target owner-operators and charter operators seeking relatively low operating costs and jet performance. Buyer and charter demand for this family centers on short-range corporate missions, owner-flown operations, and light charter work; resale considerations for this specific 2010 airframe include remaining component life, avionics fitment (Prodigy versus earlier Garmin-based suites), and engine time on the PW617F-E powerplants.
