N428FX

This entry covers the specific airframe registered as N428FX, a factory-built Embraer EMB-545 Praetor 500 completed in 2022 with manufacturer serial number 55010101. The airframe is owned by corporation FLEXJET LLC, based in Cleveland, OH, US, and is registered in the US civil registry. Current registry entries list the aircraft as a corporate-operated business jet with an executive interior configuration and an 11-seat certification on file. There are no additional public notes on notable incidents or major refurbishment beyond standard delivery and entry into service with the named operator.

The individual Praetor 500 airframe carries an executive mid-size cabin and the FAA registry lists 11 seats, though typical operator layouts are configured for 7–9 passengers with club seating, a refreshment center and private lavatory options. As operated by FLEXJET LLC, the aircraft is suited to transcontinental and regional business missions consistent with a 3,340 nm range and high-speed cruise capability of 469 kts, enabling nonstop sectors that commonly include coast-to-coast U.S. routes and medium-haul international hops. Maintenance considerations for this airframe align with the Praetor 500 program, driven by the twin Honeywell HTF7500E engines and scheduled inspections per manufacturer and operator program; no bespoke avionics or modification records are published in the supplied data.

The Embraer EMB-545 Praetor 500 occupies the hot-rated super-midsize niche, offering extended range and higher cruise speeds relative to older midsize jets, and competes against models from other manufacturers in the long-range light-to-midsize segment. With a certified ceiling of 45,000 ft and efficient HTF7500E powerplants, demand among fractional operators and charter firms remains strong for fleets aiming to provide transcontinental nonstops and fast point-to-point service. Resale and maintenance considerations for this particular 2022 airframe will reflect typical market dynamics for relatively new Praetor 500 examples operated by corporate and fractional owners.
