Embraer’s Praetor 600 Business Jet Receives EASA and FAA Type Certification

Embraer’s new Praetor 600 business jet has been granted Type Certification by EASA (European Aviation Safety Agency) and by the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration).

The Praetor 600 is capable of flying 4,000 nautical miles in long-range cruise speed or 3,700 nautical miles at Mach .80 from runways shorter than 4,500ft.

ANAC, Brazil’s Civil Aviation Authority (Agência Nacional de Aviação Civil), awarded the new aircraft its Type Certificate in April.

“Now certified by the key aviation safety agencies of the world, the Praetor 600 has proven to be the most disruptive and technologically advanced super-midsize business jet to enter the market, paving the way to begin deliveries now in the second quarter,” said Michael Amalfitano, President & CEO, Embraer Executive Jets. “Just over six months since its launch and debut, the Praetor 600 has already been outperforming its certification goals, raising expectations of the ideal super-midsize. Once again, I want to thank and congratulate the entire Embraer family for bringing to market such a revolutionary aircraft, designed to create a new value experience for customers and shareholders alike.”

The Praetor 600 features Collins Aerospace’s newest edition of the acclaimed Pro Line Fusion flight deck. Capabilities such as vertical weather display, air-traffic-control-like situational awareness with ADSB-IN, predictive wind shear radar capability, as well as Embraer Enhanced Vision System (E2VS) with a Head-up Display (HUD) and an Enhanced Video System (EVS), an Inertial Reference System (IRS) and a Synthetic Vision Guidance System (SVGS) are some of the highlights on the Praetor 600 flight deck.
