Index ≈ ×1.12 to ×1.36 on the aircraft value, already with ferry, ANAC nationalization, IPI and ICMS.
Market estimate: value + ferry + ANAC nationalization + taxes, no legal review. II, PIS and COFINS are 0% for aircraft (NCM 88.02); IPI is 6.5% (3.25% for air taxi) until Dec 31, 2026; ~4% ICMS only through a qualified importer (Agreement 75/91).
Operate = direct cost/hour (fuel + maintenance + engine); excludes fixed costs (hangar, crew, insurance). World: hourly rate published by charter operators. Brazil: charter is quoted per leg, so the hourly figure is an estimate from route quotes.

The Legacy 600 is the large business jet that Embraer created from the ERJ-135 fuselage, manufactured between 2002 and 2015. The cabin seats up to 14 passengers, with a typical configuration of 13 seats, and the design delivers 3,400 nm of range, a cruise speed of 450 kt, a service ceiling of 41,000 ft and a maximum takeoff weight of 22,500 kg. The list price when new was US$21 million, and today the model exists only on the used market, which puts maintenance history and engine condition at the center of the negotiation. Here you can see the spec sheet, the estimated operating cost per hour and the fleet registered in Brazil.
How much runway the Legacy 600 needs to dispatch: the manual figure and what the charter (RBAC 135) rule requires.
Dispatches under charter rules at 108 of 465 Brazilian public runways when dry, and at 108 when wet.
Verdict per regime (private, charter dry and wet) across 465 Brazilian public runways, with the margin in meters.
Starter feature. Available on your Jet Tracker account.
Manufacturer-published distances at sea level, ISA and reference weight. Not corrected for altitude, temperature, wind or runway condition, takeoff included. Uses the declared LDA as a proxy for effective runway length (RBAC 135.361) and the most favourable threshold in calm air (135.385(b)(1)): on the day, wind may force the shorter threshold. Destination only: does not assess the alternate aerodrome (135.387). Not a substitute for the AFM or the operator's performance analysis. Rule: RBAC 135.385 and 135.398; private flying (RBAC 91) is not factored. Runways: declared distance (LDA) from AISWEB/DECEA (2026-09-05), checkable on each aerodrome chart; where DECEA publishes no declared distance, physical length from OurAirports is used.
Typical factory configuration (curated data). The drawing below is schematic and at approximate scale; the actual layout varies by interior and year.
Announced in 2000, first flight in March 2001 and ANAC certification in December 2001. It marked Embraer's formal entry into the business aviation market.
Officially launched in 2000 as the Legacy 2000 and renamed Legacy 600 before certification in July 2002. It was the product that inaugurated the Embraer Executive Jets division, derived from the ERJ-135 regional jet (which inherited lineage from Bombardier's CRJ-200, both descendants of the original Challenger 600). It marks the Brazilian manufacturer's entry into the large business jet market.
On September 29, 2006 a Legacy 600 collided with Gol flight 1907 over the Amazon, an event that prompted reforms in Brazilian air traffic control (the 'air blackout' case).
Production at São José dos Campos (SP) from 2002 to 2015, totaling 177 units according to JETNET data (Jetcraft cites 175). Discontinued in 2015, with the transition to the Legacy 650 (same fuselage but range extended to 3,900 nm + retrofitted winglets + Honeywell Primus Elite avionics). Used market 2024 with significant depreciation: USD 6-9M for 2007-2012 airframes with 5,000-8,000 hours.
The stretched fuselage of the ERJ-135 commercial (33-seat regional) allowed the Legacy 600 to offer a 12.9 m cabin, a length then comparable only to heavy jets such as the Falcon 900 and Gulfstream IV. Typical configuration in 3 distinct zones (forward club-4, mid lounge-3, aft conference/divan) with a generous forward galley and a 240 ft³ pressurized baggage compartment accessible in flight.
Brazil is one of the largest Legacy 600 markets in the world, with Avantto (fractional operation) operating a fleet of 4+ units in São Paulo and Líder Aviação operating heavy charter. The appeal combines a 3-zone cabin + 3,250 nm range for Brazil-US East Coast (Miami, NYC) or Brazil-Southern Europe (Lisbon, Madrid) missions. Acquisition cost of USD 6-9M on the 2024 used market is a fraction of an equivalent Falcon 2000 or Gulfstream G450.
Rolls-Royce AE3007A1E engines of 7,987 lbf each, inherited directly from the ERJ commercial family (same engines as the ERJ-135/140/145). Bypass ratio of 5:1, dual-channel FADEC. Advantage: the parts pool and global MRO infrastructure of the ERJ commercial regional jet reduce maintenance costs. Disadvantage: the 6,000-hour TBO is lower than modern engines such as the BR710 (10,000 hours).
Usable length of 12.98m allows 3 zones (club + conference + lounge), an advantage inherited from the ERJ-135 fuselage over Hawker and Citation X competitors.
Range falls below the Challenger 605 (4,000 NM) and its own successor, the Legacy 650 (3,900 NM), requiring a stop on Brazil-Europe.
In September 2006 a ExcelAire Legacy 600 (registration N600XL) collided over the Amazon with the Gol Linhas Aéreas Boeing 737 (flight 1907), which had 154 occupants, all of whom died on the 737. The Legacy 600 managed to land at a military base with a damaged winglet, with no casualties. The CENIPA (Brazil's aviation accident investigation agency) investigation attributed the causes to ATC communication failure and mistaken TCAS configuration. A landmark case in Brazilian aviation safety.
Derived from the ERJ-135LR, Embraer reinforced the structure, added auxiliary belly tanks and a premium cabin, keeping the Rolls-Royce AE 3007A1E engines.

The Embraer Legacy 600 is out of production, so there is no factory price. On the used market the median is around US$ 8.5M, varying with year and flight hours; see real listings on this model's Market tab. Reference value as of 06/2026.
The maximum range is 3430 nm (3,430 NM · 6,352 km).
Cruise speed is 450 kt, equivalent to 833 km/h, or Mach 0.80.
The Embraer Legacy 600 seats up to 14 passengers, crew not included.
There are 4 active units in the RAB-ANAC (data as of 11/11/2026): operational, mark reservation or suspended, excluding cancelled registrations.
4 distinct operators operate 4 units of the Embraer Legacy 600 in the RAB-ANAC: 4 in private operation (RBAC 91), concentrated in SP (data as of 11/11/2026). Name, fleet and state of each operator are on this model's Analytics tab and in the operators directory.
Jet Tracker estimate: about US$ 8,233 per flight hour at 200 h/year, of which US$ 4,696 per hour is variable cost (fuel, engine program, maintenance reserves) plus US$ 707,500 per year of fixed cost (crew, hangar, insurance), under Jet Tracker's default assumptions (Southeast Brazil, in-house crew, 200 h/year).
