N3CA

This airframe, registered as N3CA, is an Embraer EMB-545 Praetor 500 built by Embraer S.A. in 2024 and bearing serial number 55010135. The aircraft is owned by CARLOCK AIR LLC, a corporation based in Nashville, TN, US, and is entered on the US registry as a fixed-wing multi-engine business jet. The current valuation for this specific Praetor 500 is listed at $19,000,000, reflecting a new-build condition and contemporary avionics fit typical for the type. No further notable registry actions beyond ownership and initial certification are recorded in the supplied data.

This Praetor 500 is outfitted with a flat‑floor, two‑zone executive cabin layout that is typical of the model and normally configured for 7–9 pax in standard interiors, although the registry for this airframe lists 11 seats. The avionics suite is the typical fit for the type, Collins Aerospace Pro Line Fusion, providing integrated flightdeck functionality and enhanced situational awareness for high‑performance regional and transcontinental missions. Operational use for CARLOCK AIR LLC from its Nashville base would likely include executive transport and ad hoc charter missions within the Praetor 500’s mid‑size range and speed profile; the combination of long range and high cruise speed supports non‑stop city‑pair routings within the continental US and to nearby international destinations. Maintenance considerations align with the Praetor family’s twin‑engine architecture and Honeywell HTF7500E engine support network.

The Embraer EMB-545 Praetor 500 occupies the midsize super‑midsize business jet niche, offering a balance of long range, high cruise speed, and cabin comfort compared with light and large‑cabin competitors. Typical rivals include aircraft in the super‑midsize category that emphasize transcontinental capability and modern avionics suites. Buyer and charter demand for the Praetor 500 is driven by operators seeking efficient long‑range performance with a lower acquisition cost than larger heavy jets; resale and maintenance considerations center on Honeywell engine support, avionics upgrades, and Embraer’s global service network.
