RADAR ESTIMATE

What N178CM is worth, and where it’s heading.

Radar's value model doesn't cover the Embraer Phenom 100 on its own yet, so this borrows the Embraer Phenom 300/300E curve, scales it to N178CM's listing-based estimate and widens the range to match. An estimate, not an appraisal.

RESEARCH NOTES

About N178CM

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

Overview

The airframe bearing registration N178CM is an Embraer-built light jet, model Embraer EMB-500 Phenom 100, serial number 50000178, completed in 2010 by Embraer S.A.. The airframe is registered to TNKA178 LLC, an LLC based in Boca Raton, FL, US, and the registry lists six seats for this certificate of type. Maintenance and ownership records indicate continued private/LLC operation from its Florida base with no public record of major ownership transfers beyond the current registered entity.

Operations & Cabin

This specific EMB-500 typically carries a standard executive executive cabin in a 5-6 place layout with forward club seating common; the registry for this airframe lists 6 seats. The installed avionics baseline is the Embraer Prodigy Flight Deck (Garmin-based), and this model line commonly receives NXi/Prodigy Touch upgrades during maturity-level retrofits and avionics refresh cycles. With a cruise speed near 390 kts and a range of 1,178 nm, the aircraft is routinely used for short to mid-range business missions, regional hops along the U.S. east coast, and owner/operator point-to-point travel from its Boca Raton, FL home base. Maintenance considerations for this airframe center on twin PW617F-E engine time, typical calendar-based inspections for executive interiors, and avionics upgrade paths to maintain operational and resale competitiveness.

Model & Market Context

The Embraer EMB-500 Phenom 100 occupies the light business jet niche, offering single-pilot capability, efficient cruise, and a high useful ceiling of 41,000 ft. Competing models in this segment include other entry-level light jets that appeal to owner-operators and charter providers seeking low operating costs and modern avionics. Buyer and charter demand for well-maintained 2010-era Phenom 100s is driven by avionics standardization (Prodigy/NXi), airframe condition, and engine time on the Pratt & Whitney Canada PW617F-E powerplants. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe specifically emphasize documented LLC ownership, interior configuration consistent with six seats, and the common avionics upgrade path to preserve mission capability and value.
