Embraer Praetor 500

The Praetor 500 is Embraer's update of the Legacy 450, adding winglets and enhanced aerodynamics to push range to 3,340 nautical miles while retaining the same 24-foot cabin cross-section. It received triple certification from the FAA, EASA, and Brazil's ANAC simultaneously, a testament to the depth of engineering behind the aircraft.

Twin Honeywell HTF7500E turbofans, a Rockwell Collins ProLine Fusion avionics suite, and Embraer's noise-reduction technology, including a quiet-flush lavatory, round out the aircraft. The Praetor 500 suits travelers who want the wide Embraer 6.8-foot cabin in a more compact fuselage than the Praetor 600, with competitive super midsize range.

The Praetor 500 entered service in 2019 as the direct successor to the Legacy 450, sharing the same cabin cross-section on the same shorter fuselage but adding winglets and enhanced aerodynamics for greater range. It holds triple FAA, EASA, and ANAC certification.

The Praetor 500 retains the Legacy 450's 24-foot cabin and 6.8-foot width but adds winglets, enhanced aerodynamics, and a Rockwell Collins ProLine Fusion avionics suite that replaces the Legacy's older system. Range increases from 2,904 nautical miles (Legacy 450) to 3,340 nautical miles, a 15 percent improvement, without any change to the cabin footprint.

A super midsize jet trades a midsize jet's lower hourly rate for a larger cabin, longer range, and stronger climb performance. At $5,000 to $7,000 per hour, private jet charter on the Praetor 500 runs above a midsize jet such as the Citation XLS, but its 3,340-nautical-mile range and 6.8-foot-wide cabin suit long-range and transcontinental trips a midsize jet cannot match.

• More range: 3,340 nm versus roughly 2,100 to 3,000 nm for most midsize jets.
• Higher cost: $5,000 to $7,000 per hour versus $3,500 to $5,500 for a midsize jet.
• Wider cabin: 6.8 feet of width with 6.0 feet of stand-up headroom, versus a midsize jet's narrower cabin and typical 5.7-foot ceiling.
• Best mission: long-range and transcontinental trips for up to nine passengers where cabin width and range matter most.

The Praetor 500 typically seats seven to nine passengers, with capacity up to nine, including the lavatory seat.

• Embraer's noise-reduction technology and a quiet-flush lavatory reduce cabin noise on longer flights.
• Wireless connectivity options are available on most aircraft.
• Confirm the exact cabin configuration, connectivity, and entertainment options at booking, as equipment varies by aircraft.

The Praetor 500 performs best on long domestic routes where its wide Embraer cabin and strong range justify the premium over a standard midsize jet.
