Pro 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.

History
- 2018First flight
- 2019 - Praetor 500: evolução do Legacy 450 lançada em 2018
Anunciado pela Embraer em outubro 2018 e certificado em agosto 2019, o Praetor 500 é a evolução direta do Legacy 450, recebendo winglets, tanque adicional e avionics Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion atualizada, passando de mid-size para mid-size de longo alcance.
- 2019FAA certification
Brazil Fleet
Estimativa preliminar, produção BR-made.
O Praetor 500 (Embraer Executive, derivative do Legacy 450 com winglets + range extra) é uma das principais escolhas BR atual no segmento midsize. Produção 2019-presente em São José dos Campos. Brasil é um dos top 3 mercados globais.
Aviônica Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion com touchscreen, fly-by-wire, autothrottle, todos standard. Cabine flat-floor (1,83m altura, 1,93m largura), galleys premium e lavatório bowl-glass. Posicionamento: substitui Hawker 800XP/900XP pra operadores brasileiros e cobre o mesmo segmento que Citation Latitude com mais alcance (3.340 nm) e velocidade (Mach 0.83).
Operadores BR típicos: holdings industriais, charter premium mid-tier, e Embraer Executive Jets como aeronave-padrão de demonstração. Mercado pre-owned ainda jovem, unidades 2019-2022 cotam US$ 14-17M. Suporte local Embraer SJM + Embraer Executive Care é a maior vantagem competitiva no Brasil.

Curiosities and highlights
Benefits
Alcance NBAA IFR de 3.340 nm: SP-MIA direto com folga
Com alcance de 3.340 nm (4 PAX, NBAA IFR), o Praetor 500 supera Citation Latitude (~2.700 nm) e Challenger 350 (3.200 nm) na categoria mid-size, capaz de fazer SP-Miami direto sem tech stop com 4-6 PAX.
Embraer Praetor 500 Brochure
Cabin altitude 5.800 ft a FL450: melhor da categoria mid-size
O Praetor 500 entrega cabin altitude de 5.800 ft no teto de FL450, a mais baixa do segmento mid-size, abaixo até de Latitude (5.950 ft). Para missões SP-MIA de 7+ horas isso significa fadiga reduzida mensurável.
Fly-by-wire completo: única no segmento mid-size
O Praetor 500 herdou o fly-by-wire completo do Legacy 450, único mid-size do mundo com FBW pleno (Latitude e Challenger 350 são convencionais). Reduz workload do piloto e adiciona proteções de envelope típicas de aeronaves comerciais.
Limitations
Não certificado single-pilot (vs Phenom 300E e CJ4)
Apesar do porte, o Praetor 500 exige tripulação de dois pilotos, sem opção single-pilot. Para owner-flown que migra do Phenom 300E, é uma fricção operacional e financeira (custo de copiloto recorrente).
Curiosities
Cabin Mood: iluminação RGB programável de fábrica
O Praetor 500 traz sistema Cabin Mood com iluminação LED RGB programável e simulação circadiana, recurso normalmente reservado a heavy jets como Falcon 7X ou Global. Pequeno detalhe que vendedores usam em demos para impressionar.
