Model overview
The Praetor 500 is a current-production super-midsize charter candidate for smaller parties seeking a six-foot flat floor, coast-to-coast planning range and full fly-by-wire control. It evolves the Legacy 450 platform, but a model request still requires confirmation of the exact tail, operator, cabin options and mission feasibility.
Production history
Embraer unveiled the Praetor 500 and 600 in 2018 and certified both within the following year. The 500 adds fuel capacity and higher-thrust engine ratings to the Legacy 450 architecture; Embraer then announced the Praetor 500E in 2026 for deliveries planned from 2029, making future E-model cabin features a separate specification.
Variant note. Praetor 500E cabin and technology features announced in 2026 are planned for future deliveries and must not be applied to current Praetor 500 tails. Starlink availability is an install- and subscription-specific option.

Cabin and baggage
Cabin layout and baggage guidance
The standard configuration seats seven passengers and approved layouts reach nine, using berthable executive chairs, a flat aisle, tables, a forward galley or refreshment center and an enclosed aft lavatory. The approximately 720-cubic-foot cabin is 22 feet 5 inches long, 6 feet 10 inches wide and 6 feet high, with 150 cubic feet of total baggage capacity, including about 40 cubic feet internal. Large windows and ergonomic seating support work or rest, while Wi-Fi, power, entertainment and galley equipment vary by tail.

Range and performance
Performance and flight deck guidance
Embraer publishes 3,340 nautical miles with four passengers at long-range cruise and NBAA IFR reserves including a 200-nautical-mile alternate, plus 466 KTAS high-speed cruise. Twin Honeywell HTF7500E turbofans, Collins Pro Line Fusion avionics, full fly-by-wire controls, active turbulence reduction and swept winglets support the mission. The direct carrier must calculate runway, payload, winds, routing and reserves for the actual departure.

Mission fit
Mission planning guidance
A Praetor 500 can be a strong fit for seven travelers on a long domestic trip where stand-up height, flat-floor ergonomics and meaningful baggage capacity matter. Jet Partners can compare the actual aircraft with Legacy 450 and peer options, disclose the licensed direct carrier, and confirm configuration, connectivity, schedule, firm price and terms.
Confirm these details in writing
- Aircraft, cabin layout, passenger count and baggage fit.
- Named direct air carrier and available trip-specific safety information.
- Runway, payload, weather, routing and possible technical-stop limits.
- Total price, inclusions, conditional charges and cancellation terms.
The properly licensed direct air carrier identified in the proposal retains operational control and makes the final flight-operational decisions.
