N406FX

This entry documents airframe N406FX, an Embraer EMB-545 Legacy 450 / Praetor 500 delivered in 2016 with manufacturer serial 55010011. The type was produced by Embraer S.A. and is registered in the US. The airframe is owned by Flexjet LLC, a corporation based in Cleveland, OH, US, and is typically utilized under that operator's program structure; no additional prior registration history is published. Valuation at the cited date places the aircraft at $17,900,000, reflecting its mid‑life market standing for a factory‑built Praetor/Legacy configured business jet.

The cabin for this airframe is fitted in the typical executive configuration with a 6–9 place layout, featuring a flat‑floor 6.0 ft cabin height, a forward galley and an aft lavatory; operator‑specific variations may apply under Flexjet program specifications. The flight deck typically carries Collins Pro Line Fusion avionics as configured for the Legacy 450/Praetor 500 derivatives, supporting advanced situational awareness and mission flexibility. With an 11‑seat complement, the aircraft is suited to corporate shuttle, on‑demand charter, and owner/operator transport on medium‑ to long‑range point‑to‑point sectors enabled by a 3,340 nm range and high‑speed cruise. Maintenance and operator program considerations follow Embraer’s support structure and Flexjet’s in‑house fleet management practices; specific maintenance history for this serial is not published.

The EMB-545 Legacy 450 / Praetor 500 family occupies the midsize super‑midsize business jet niche, offering transcontinental capability with efficient Honeywell HTF7500E propulsion and modern cockpit systems. Competing models generally include other light‑to‑super‑midsize jets that balance cabin comfort and range; demand is strong among fractional and charter operators seeking a combination of speed (469 kts cruise), cabin volume, and transcontinental range (3,340 nm). Resale and ownership considerations for this airframe reflect age (built 2016), factory avionics fit, and operator pedigree with Flexjet LLC, factors that influence marketability and program valuation.
