Praetor 500, 600 To Take Center Stage For The Planemaker In Las Vegas

The recently-certified midsize Praetor 500 and super-midsize Praetor 600 business jets, along with the entry-level Phenom 100EV and light Phenom 300E, will be on display at the 2019 NBAA Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (NBAA-BACE), which takes place October 22-24 in Las Vegas, NV.

The new Praetor 500 and 600, both of which have received FAA, EASA and ANAC certification less than one year after they were first announced at NBAA-BACE 2018, are the most technologically advanced aircraft in their categories. The Praetor 500 surpassed certification goals, achieving an intercontinental range of 3,340 nautical miles with four passengers and NBAA IFR Reserves.

The Praetor 500 is the farthest- and fastest-flying midsize jet, capable of true North America corner-to-corner, nonstop flights, such as Miami to Seattle or Los Angeles to New York. Its sibling, the Praetor 600, is the farthest-flying super-midsize jet in the world, capable of nonstop flights from Paris to New York or São Paulo to Miami. With four passengers and NBAA IFR Reserves, the Praetor 600 has intercontinental range of 4,018 nautical miles.

The Praetors will be joined by Embraer’s Phenom family of business jets. The Phenom 100EV, a proven jet-pilot trainer which set the standard for the entry-level class, and the Phenom 300E, the most successful business jet of the decade?and the only business jet to reach 500 units delivered in the last ten years?will both be on static display.
