Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing tail number N261FX is a production-year 2025 Embraer Praetor 500 (EMB-545) registered in the US and operated by corporate owner Flexjet LLC of Cleveland, OH, US. Entered service with Flexjet LLC in 2025, this airframe reflects a current-generation Praetor 500 delivery and is recorded in corporate fleet registers under U.S. registration. The aircraft is valued at $17,000,000 in current listings, and has a factory fit consistent with typical operator configurations for the type. No additional public registry actions or transfers beyond initial operator assignment are published for this specific tail number.
N261FX carries the typical Praetor 500 executive cabin layout with a flat-floor cabin configured in double-club arrangements accommodating 7–11 passengers within the certified 11-seat limit; the installed interior reflects the standard Praetor 500 executive arrangement focused on long-range business missions. Avionics are fitted to a typical operator standard with Collins Pro Line Fusion / Collins integrated avionics options, supporting advanced flight management, situational awareness and saturated-airport operations in the aircraft’s mission envelope. Operating from Flexjet’s Cleveland, OH base, the aircraft’s performance—long range and high cruise speed—suits transcontinental and offshore business sectors, enabling nonstop city-pair routings consistent with the type’s advertised 3,340 nm range and cruise at approximately 466 kt. Maintenance follows Embraer-recommended programs and corporate fleet practices; fuel, engine, and avionics support derive from Honeywell and Collins supply chains specified for the HTF7500E and Pro Line Fusion systems.
The Embraer Praetor 500 (EMB-545) occupies the midsize super-midsize niche, offering long-range capability, flat-floor cabin comfort and modern integrated avionics for owner-operators and fractional operators alike. Competing models include other super-midsize business jets with similar transcontinental range; buyer and charter demand typically centers on cabin comfort, dispatch reliability and operating economics. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect common aftermarket factors for HTF7500E-powered Praetor 500s, including engine time accumulation, avionics upgrades and market valuations around the provided $17,000,000 listing.
