N408FX

This entry covers a single airframe, N408FX, an Embraer Embraer EMB-545 (Praetor 500) built in 2016 with serial number 55010018. The aircraft is owned by FLEXJET LLC, a corporation based in Cleveland, OH, US, and is registered in the US. Valuation records list the airframe at $10,000,000 and it carries a standard operator avionics fit with options available depending on operator configuration.

The cabin of N408FX is arranged for 9 passengers consistent with operator-configured light-cabin long-range business jets in its class. Avionics are fitted with the Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion suite, with operator options available to tailor mission systems and connectivity for charter or corporate roles. Typical missions for this airframe under FLEXJET LLC involve transcontinental and regional point-to-point trips enabled by a 3,340 nm range and a cruise speed near 466 kts, operating from the company’s Cleveland-area base and other U.S. hubs. Maintenance and operational considerations reflect the HTF7500E family engine support network and fleet-management practices of a corporate operator; scheduled checks follow manufacturer service intervals and corporate program oversight.

The Embraer EMB-545 (Praetor 500) occupies the light-to-midsize long-range business jet niche, offering transcontinental capability with a high cruise speed and a 45,000 ft service ceiling. Competing models in the segment include other modern light/medium-cabin jets offering similar range and speed; buyers and charter operators target this type for efficient cross-country missions. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe are influenced by the HTF7500E engine program support, the Pro Line Fusion avionics commonality, and the presence of a corporate owner such as FLEXJET LLC, factors that can affect market demand and lifecycle value.
