N420FX

This entry describes airframe N420FX, an Embraer EMB-545 Praetor 500 completed in 2018 with manufacturer's serial number 55010040. The jet is owned by Flexjet, LLC, a corporation based in Cleveland, OH, and is registered in the US. The airframe has remained in corporate fleet use under Flexjet ownership since build, with acquisition and fleet integration handled by the operator upon delivery. Public registry actions are limited to standard US registration and title filings.

The airframe is configured to carry up to nine passengers in a Praetor 500 cabin layout consistent with light-cabin long-range business jets; specific interior finish details for this serial are not published. Avionics and systems fit for this individual airframe are not published, though operators typically employ the EMB-545 standard integrated flight deck and modern mission avionics. Operating from a Cleveland, OH operator base, the aircraft is deployed on typical intercontinental business missions within its 3,340 nm range and at cruise speeds near 426 kts, enabling transcontinental and trans-Gulf routes without refueling. Maintenance and service for this airframe follow manufacturer-recommended schedules for the Honeywell HTF7500E engines and Embraer airframe programs; any unique maintenance history for this serial has not been released publicly.

The Embraer EMB-545 Praetor 500 occupies the light to midsize long-range business jet niche, offering performance such as a high cruise speed and a 45,000 ft service ceiling that make it competitive against legacy light-medium corporate types. With twin Honeywell HTF7500E engines producing 6,540 lbf each, the type emphasizes a balance of range, speed, and operating economics attractive to fractional and charter operators like Flexjet, LLC. Buyer and charter demand for the model centers on operators needing transcontinental capability with a smaller cabin footprint; resale and maintenance considerations hinge on Honeywell engine support and Embraer continuing aftermarket and avionics support for the Praetor family.
