RADAR ESTIMATE

What N158NS is worth, and where it’s heading.

Radar's value model doesn't cover the Embraer Praetor 500 on its own yet, so this borrows the Bombardier Challenger 300 curve, scales it to N158NS's listing-based estimate and widens the range to match. An estimate, not an appraisal.

RESEARCH NOTES

About N158NS

Compiled with AI assistance from the public sources listed below, November 2025. Not checked against the aircraft's logbooks.

Overview

This airframe, registered as N158NS, is an Embraer EMB-545 Praetor 500 built in 2019 with manufacturer serial 55010056. The jet is owned by Norfolk Southern Railway Co, a corporation based in Atlanta, GA, US, and is registered in the US.

Operations & Cabin

The cabin is fitted in an 8-passenger executive layout according to operator and spotter photographs, while registry documentation lists 11 seats, indicating a difference between certificated seating and the installed executive interior. Avionics are the Collins Aerospace Pro Line Fusion suite, supporting advanced navigation and situational awareness typical of modern light business jets. Typical missions for this airframe under corporate ownership likely include regional executive transport and inspection or spotter flights consistent with a railway company’s operational needs, operating from its Atlanta-area base. Maintenance considerations for this specific aircraft reflect late-model systems and twin HTF7500E engines, with records and condition inferred from its 2019 build date and current valuation.

Model & Market Context

The Embraer EMB-545 Praetor 500 occupies the super-light to light midsize business jet niche, offering transcontinental range and high-speed cruise relative to earlier-generation light jets. Competing models include variants of the Cessna Citation and Bombardier Learjet/Challenger family at similar mission profiles. Buyer and charter demand for the type centers on long-range single-pilot capability and efficient operating economics; resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe benefit from its recent build year, modern avionics, and the widely supported Honeywell HTF engine series.
