P600: US$21 million L500: US$ 20 million P500: US$17 million L450: US$16.57 million The Embraer Legacy 500/450 ( EMB-550/ EMB-545) are Brazilian mid-size launched by in April 2008, the first of their size with a flat-floor stand-up cabin and. The longer 500, which typically carries 4 passengers over 3,125 nmi (5,790 km) with room for up to 12, first flew on November 27, 2012, and was certified on August 12, 2014. The shorter 450 first flew on December 28, 2013, was certified on August 11, 2015, carries 4 passengers over 2,900 nmi (5,370 km) and can accommodate up to 9. Contents. Development At the August 2007 convention, unveiled a cabin mock-up of two concepts positioned between the $7 million and the $26 million, called midsize jet (MSJ) and midlight jet (MLJ), positioned on 22% of the market in units. They should share their flat floor, stand-up cabin but the MSJ should be 5 feet longer to accommodate 8 passengers over a 2,800-nm range against 2,200-nm for the smaller version.
The program was introduced in April 2008, Embraer planned to invest US$750 million and to introduce the larger model in 2012 and the smaller in 2013. Turbofans were selected along a Pro Line Fusion suite integrated and a flight control system. At the May 2008, the larger was named Legacy 500 and priced at $18.4 million and the smaller Legacy 450, priced at $15.25 million. The variants have 95% systems commonality.
An assembly line was officially opened in on 2 June 2016, adding and 500 production to the existing and line, along a completion center/flight-prep building. The first Legacy 450 on the line since May 16 should be delivered in mid-December.
The facility will be able to assemble up to 96 Phenoms and 72 Legacys annually. The first Legacy 450 produced in Florida was delivered in December 2016; the fuselage is built in in Brazil, and the wings in, Portugal. The first Legacy 500 entered final assembly in January 2017 and was flown in July. Embraer will eventually move most of its Legacy 450/500 production in Florida but has not set up a schedule yet.
Praetor 500/600 Embraer introduced improved variants at the October 2018 convention, the Praetor 500 and 600, presented on display, with 3,250 nmi (6,019 km) and 3,900 nmi (7,223 km) of range; the 600 should be certified in the second quarter of 2019 and the 500 in the third quarter of 2019. Both have 22 by 50 in (56 by 127 cm) higher and wider winglets. The $17 million Praetor 500 boosts the fuel capacity of the Legacy 450 from 12,108 to 13,058 lb (5,492 to 5,923 kg) to match the Legacy 500. The $21 million Praetor 600 is based on the Legacy 500 with two tanks on the fuselage belly for 2,928 lb (1,328 kg) more fuel for a 15,986 lb (7,251 kg) capacity, and more powerful 7,528 lbf (33.49 kN) HTF7500E engines.
Praetor 600 flight testing began on 31 March and 300h were logged with three aircraft by October 2018, while the Praetor 500 flight tests began on 13 September with 80h accumulated. Cockpit with 4 large and They are, airplanes with, powered by two rear mounted turbofans. The is fully retractable and designed to be operated on paved only.
The includes four. The operation is made through a with, and closed-loop control and monitoring of flight controls Fly-By-Wire. The aircraft are certified for Day, Night, VFR and IFR flights, and are approved for (RVSM) airspace and flight into known, extended flight over water, Category II, operations at high altitude airports up to 13800 ft and steep operations. Embraer offers an constituted by the HGS-3500 combined with the EVS-3000, permitting a decision altitude necessitating visual references of 100 ft above touchdown at a projected price of $515,000.
's draft AC 20-167A further proposes a descent below 100 ft if the required visual references can be observed using the EFVS, similar to Cat II and III approaches with limited in many small airports. Variants EMB-550 Legacy 500. Legacy 500: seven windows per side Embraer's timeline was delayed because software development for the fly-by-wire was running behind schedule. Supported by 800 engineers, the first Legacy 500 (PT-ZEX) was rolled out on 23 December 2011 to begin ground testing and systems evaluation, prior to the aircraft’s first flight scheduled for the third quarter of 2012. The first engine run was completed on January 17, 2012. The aircraft's occurred on 27 November 2012 with certification and initial deliveries expected in early 2014.
After 1,800 hours of flight tests and 20,000 hours of laboratory tests, its was received from (ANAC) on August 12, 2014, exceeding design goals. First delivery occurred to a Brazilian company on October 11, 2014.
It received its (FAA) certification on October 21, 2014. Delivery of the 50th Legacy 500 is expected in the third quarter of 2016. The Legacy 500 can be configured to carry up to 12 passengers, and can carry eight passengers over 2,948 nautical miles (5,460 km), or four passengers over 3,125 nautical miles (5,788 km). The aircraft fly-by-wire control enhances safety and confort.
Climbing to its FL 430 initial cruise altitude takes 22 min and its 27° allow a 436 kn (807 km/h) TAS average long-range cruise, Mach 0.76 - 0.78, while a Mach 0.80 cruise lowers the range by 3%. The Legacy 500 competes with midsize jets like the $17.9 million + and $23.4 million, but also with super-midsize $24 million and $26 million and can be compared with the halted $21 million program. Bombardier discounts its /350 to match the Legacy 500's $20 million price, $7 million cheaper, while Gulfstream stays firm on its $24.5 million G280 price, as is Embraer, but the Legacy 500 loses 25% of its base value on the pre-owned market because of the glut of used super-midsize jets. EMB-545 Legacy 450. Legacy 450: six windows per side The Legacy 450 first flight occurred on 28 December 2013. It received its Brazilian certification on 11 August 2015, exceeding its design goals. It was certified by the FAA shortly after on 31 August 2015.
Embraer announced on 22 December 2015 its first delivery to, an American provider of video, audio, and lighting support headquartered in. Its fuselage is shortened by 4 feet (122 cm) and it has a flight life of 27,500 flight hours, its stall speed is 104 kn (193 km/h) and its minimum control speed is 142 kn (263 km/h). It competes with the $16.25 million and the $17.9 million. In July 2016, its certified range was extended to 2,904 nm (5,378 km), 329 nm (609 km) more than previously, and it is designed to carry 7 to 9 passengers.

The Legacy 500 average mission is less than 2 hours, and while fleet operators fly them more than 700 hours per year, single aircraft operators typically fly theirs 150–200 hours per year.
It burns 2,200–2,400 lb (1,000–1,090 kg) of fuel in the first hour, and then 1,700–1,800 lb (770–820 kg) at heavy weights down to 1,500–1,600 lb (680–730 kg) when lighter. Maintenance per flight hour cost US$642 to US$658 for the two depending on utilization, while costs US$321 plus US$4,300 per month for low-utilization. Dispatch reliability often exceeds 99% with most components mounted outside the pressure vessel for easy access if it breaks, except batteries and potable water servicing. Retrieved 2018-04-10.

E170: 41.0 million (2016) E175: US$ 45.7 million (2017) E190: US$50.6 million (2017) E195: US$53.5 million (2017) Variants Developed into The Embraer E-Jet family is a series of short- to medium-range jet airliners, carrying 66 to 124 passengers commercially, manufactured by Brazilian. The aircraft family was first introduced at the in 1999 and entered production in 2002. The series has been a commercial success primarily due to its ability to efficiently serve lower-demand routes while offering many of the same amenities and features of larger jets. The aircraft is used by mainline and around the world but has proven particularly popular with regional airlines in the United States. Main article: In November 2011, Embraer announced that it would develop revamped versions of the E-Jet to be called the E-Jet E2 family. The new jets would feature improved engines that would be more fuel efficient and take advantage of new technologies.
Beyond the new engines, the E2 family would also feature new wings, improved avionics, and other improvements to the aircraft. The move came amid a period of high global fuel costs and better positions Embraer as competitors introduced new and more fuel efficient jets, including the. The new aircraft family also includes a much larger variant, the E195-E2 capable of carrying between 120 and 146 passengers. This jet better positions Embraer against the competing aircraft. Embraer selected the engine to power the E2 family in January 2013. The same engine was previously selected for use on competing aircraft.
The E190-E2 received its from the, and on February 28, 2018. It is scheduled to enter service in the second quarter of 2018. Engine The Embraer E-Jets line is composed of two main commercial families and a variant. The smaller E170 and E175 make up the base model aircraft. The E190 and E195 are stretched versions, with different and larger, and structures. The 170 and 175 share 95% commonality, as do the 190 and 195. The two families share near 89% commonality, with identical cross-sections and, featuring the Epic (EFIS) suite.
The E-jets also have to improve efficiency. All E-Jets use four-abreast seating (2+2) and have a 'double-bubble' design, which Embraer developed for its commercial passenger jets, that provides stand-up headroom. The E190/195 series of aircraft have capacities similar to the initial versions of the and. The E-Jets have turbofan engines designed to reduce noise, which allows them to operate in airports that have strict noise restrictions, such as. At 185 sq in (11.9 dm 2), the E-Jet windows are larger than the 175 sq in (11.3 dm 2) windows.
Operational history. E175 of The E175 is a slightly stretched version of the E170 and first entered revenue service in July 2005. The E175 typically seats around 78 passengers in a typical single class configuration, 76 in a dual class configuration, and up to 88 in a high density configuration. The E170 and E175 directly compete with the and, respectively, and loosely compete with the turboprop. They also seek to replace the market segment occupied by earlier competing designs such as the and.
Like the E170, the E175 is also powered with engines of 14,200 pounds (62.28 kN) each. E175 SC In late 2017, Embraer announced a new variant called the E175 SC (special configuration). The aircraft is type limited to 70 seats like the E170, but is based on the E175 airframe instead. That configuration allows it to take advantage of the performance improvements made to the E175, but still comply with US airline limiting operators to 70 seats. Embraer is marketing the E175 SC as a replacement for the older 70-seat, offering better efficiency and the ability to carry more passengers in first class. E190 and E195. E195 of The E190/195 models are a larger stretch of the E170/175 models fitted with a new, larger wing, a larger horizontal stabilizer and a new engine, the GE CF34-10E, rated at 18,500 lb (82.30 kN).
These aircraft compete with the and, the and, and the. It can carry up to 100 passengers in a two-class configuration or up to 124 in single-class high density configuration. The first flight of the E190 was on March 12, 2004 (PP-XMA), with the first flight of the E195 (PP-XMJ) on December 7 of the same year. The launch customer of the E190 was -based with 100 orders options in 2003 and took its first delivery in 2005. British low-cost carrier was the first operator of the E195, had 14 orders and 12 options, and started E195 operations on 22 September 2006.
Flybe have since decided that they would remove the aircraft from their fleet in favour of the and Embraer 175, in an effort to reduce costs, by 2020. Operates 25 E190 aircraft fitted with 9 business-class and 88 economy-class seats as part of its primary fleet. JetBlue, American Airlines, and Georgian Airways also operate the E190 as part of their own fleet. Embraer Lineage 1000. Lineage 1000 at the 2009 Dubai Airshow On 2 May 2006, Embraer announced plans for the business jet variant of the E190, the Embraer Lineage 1000 (type name ERJ190-100 ECJ). It has the same structure as the E190, but with an extended range of up to 4,200 nmi, and luxury seating for up to 19.
It was certified by the USA Federal Aviation Administration on 7 January 2009. The first two production aircraft were delivered in December 2008. Undeveloped variants E195X Embraer considered producing an aircraft which was known as the E195X, a stretched version of the E195.
It would have seated approximately 130 passengers. The E195X was apparently a response to an request for an aircraft to replace its. Embraer abandoned plans for the 195X in May 2010, following concerns that its range would be too short.

Accidents and incidents.
On 18 February 2007, Flight 6448 (an E170 operating for Delta Connection) ran off the runway on landing at, in poor visibility during a snowstorm. None of the 75 passengers and crew aboard were injured, and the aircraft, while significantly damaged, was repaired and returned to service. On 17 July 2007, Flight 7330 overran the runway while landing at in,.
The E190 slid down an embankment off the side of the runway and came to rest with the nose in shallow water. The aircraft was damaged beyond repair, but all 60 aboard evacuated unharmed. On 24 August 2010, an E190 that departed from, crash landed about 1 km short of the runway at, resulting in 44 deaths. On 16 September 2011, an E190 operated by landed long and ran off the end of the runway at in, colliding with approach equipment and a brick wall.
E170 Flight Manual
The crew reportedly failed to adhere to the manufacturer's procedures in the event of a flap malfunction, continuing the approach in spite of the aircraft's condition. Eleven of the 103 aboard received minor injuries, and the aircraft was written off. On 29 November 2013, an E190, crashed in Namibia, killing all 33 aboard (27 passengers, 6 crew members) by the.
The first officer reportedly left the cockpit to use the bathroom. He was then locked out by the captain, who dramatically reduced the aircraft’s altitude and ignored various automated warnings ahead of the high-speed impact. On 4 December 2016, flight 5588, an E175 operating as a flight from to, was diverted to after experiencing an abnormal landing gear indication.
Upon landing, the nose gear of the aircraft collapsed, and the aircraft came to rest on runway 04. Of the 51 passengers and 4 crew members, only one minor injury was sustained during the evacuation. During recovery of the aircraft, it was discovered that a failed downlock spring on the nose gear had prevented the landing gear from locking in the down position. On 31 July 2018, an E190 bound for Mexico City, crashed in Durango, Mexico shortly after takeoff. 99 passengers and 4 crew were on board. Although there were no fatalities, the aircraft was destroyed by the ensuing fire.
The cause of the crash is currently under investigation.
