N438FX

This entry covers the airframe registered as N438FX, an Embraer EMB-545 Praetor 500 built in 2021 with manufacturer serial 55010082. The aircraft is owned and operated by FLEXJET LLC, a corporation (fractional operator) based in Cleveland, OH, US, and carries a United States registration (US). Entered service in 2021 with FLEXJET LLC as part of its fractional operator fleet, and it remains listed to that corporate owner with no public record here of subsequent ownership transfers or notable registry actions. Condition and valuation specifics are not published in the supplied data.

The cabin is configured in a typical executive layout accommodating 7–9 passengers in operator-configurable arrangements within an overall 11-seat certification, featuring a six‑foot tall flat‑floor cabin with club seating, an optional two‑place divan, an aft private lavatory, and large in‑flight accessible baggage capacity. Avionics are installed as Collins Pro Line Fusion, supporting modern cockpit situational awareness and mission flexibility for business and charter operations. Operated by FLEXJET LLC out of Cleveland, the aircraft’s combination of transcontinental range (3,340 nm) and high cruise speed (426 kts) suits long domestic and transborder fractional flights, overnight repositioning and on-demand charter legs. Maintenance and operational considerations for this airframe align with the Praetor 500 platform and its Honeywell HTF7500E engines, which command established OEM and support network procedures.

The Embraer EMB-545 Praetor 500 occupies the super-midsize light business jet niche, offering extended range and a stand-up cabin relative to earlier light jets in its class. Competing models typically include other high-performance midsize business jets that balance transcontinental capability against operating costs; buyer and charter demand for this model is driven by the combination of cabin comfort and long-range cruise performance. Resale and maintenance considerations reflect fleet support from Embraer S.A. and Honeywell for the HTF7500E engines, with fractional operators such as FLEXJET LLC emphasizing utilization, dispatch reliability, and cabin configuration flexibility in evaluating lifecycle value.
