N655UP Aircraft Overview
Performance Profile
N655UP's Embraer Phenom 300 cruises at 453 knots with 2,010 nautical miles of range. The 2x Pratt & Whitney Canada PW535E1 produce 3,360 lbs per side. This performance covers regional missions of 2-3 hours without refueling.
Mission Profile
The light jet segment serves owner-operators, small corporate flight departments, and charter operators flying regional demand. N655UP's Embraer Phenom 300 carries 10 passengers at 17.2 ft by 5.1 ft. The cabin is purpose-built for missions under three hours.
Charter Authorization
Charter authorization is active for N655UP. This Embraer Phenom 300 operates under a Part 135 certificate for regional and short-haul missions. Contact The Jet Finder to check scheduling.
Insider Note
The Embraer Phenom 300 segment offers the lowest entry point for jet ownership. Pre-owned Embraer Phenom 300 airframes trade actively, with pricing driven by engine program status, avionics generation, and total time. N655UP's 2017 build year places it in a specific tier of the market.
Charter & Acquisition Briefing
The 2017 helicopter bearing registration N655UP is held by UMB BANK NA TRUSTEE. Helicopters provide direct-to-destination service that eliminates the need for airports entirely.
Fleet Position
Over 10,000 helicopters are on active U.S. registrations. FAA data shows N655UP based in SALT LAKE CITY, UT. The U.S. helicopter fleet serves EMS, offshore oil and gas, law enforcement, utility, VIP transport, and flight training. Maintenance infrastructure is extensive, with turbine helicopter service available at most major airports.
Charter Availability
N655UP is Part 135 charter authorized. Helicopter charter rates range from $1,500 to $8,000 per flight hour depending on type and configuration. VIP helicopter charter serves urban transfers (Manhattan to JFK in 8 minutes), resort access, and event transportation where ground travel times exceed 2 hours.
Market Position
A 2017 production date places N655UP in the current generation with FADEC engines, glass cockpit avionics, and modern safety systems. Pre-owned values sit at $2M to $15M. Current-generation helicopters offer the latest in crash survivability, automation, and operational efficiency.
Acquiring a current-generation helicopter provides access to the latest autorotation aids, health and usage monitoring systems (HUMS), and terrain awareness. These systems reduce accident rates and insurance premiums while improving dispatch reliability.
Mission Profile
Optimized for missions where vertical takeoff and landing capability is essential. EMS programs save lives by reaching accident scenes and hospitals directly. Offshore operators service platforms hundreds of miles from shore. Law enforcement provides aerial surveillance that ground units cannot replicate.
When to Choose Something Else
Skip helicopters for routes over 200 nm. At 130 to 170 knots, helicopters take twice as long as light jets over 200+ mile routes. For distances exceeding 150 miles, a combination of helicopter transfer plus fixed-wing jet provides the fastest door-to-door time.
Ownership & Operations
Aircraft ownership in the United States falls under FAA registration requirements. Every U.S.-registered aircraft carries an N-number that links to public records including owner name, address, airworthiness date, and certificate type. The FAA Aircraft Registry maintains this data and updates it as aircraft change hands. Prospective buyers use these records to verify ownership history, lien status, and maintenance compliance before committing to an acquisition.
Pre-Purchase Considerations
Avionics modernization drives both capability and market value. Aircraft with legacy analog instruments trade at significant discounts to those with modern glass cockpits (Garmin G5000, Collins Pro Line Fusion, Honeywell Primus Epic). ADS-B Out compliance is now mandatory in U.S. controlled airspace. Buyers should factor avionics upgrade costs into their acquisition budget when evaluating older airframes.
Charter Market Context
Empty leg pricing offers 25 to 75% discounts on published charter rates. These opportunities arise when an aircraft needs to reposition from a drop-off point back to base or to the next pickup location. The tradeoff is schedule inflexibility: departure time, date, and route are fixed by the operator's existing itinerary. The Jet Finder maintains an empty leg alert system for frequent charter clients.
