Model & Market Context
This entry documents airframe N609FX, an Embraer Embraer EMB-550 Praetor 600 built in 2024 with manufacturer serial 55020210. The airframe is owned by GRIFFIN CAPITAL LLC, a corporation based in Cleveland, OH, US, and is registered in the US; entered U.S. registry upon delivery in 2024. No separate operator or third-party charter operator is published; the owner’s Cleveland location serves as the primary home base for the asset. Financial records list the aircraft value at $21,950,000, with no additional public condition or damage history published.
The cabin is outfitted in an executive 8–12 passenger layout featuring a flat floor, a full galley, and aft baggage, configured to accommodate up to 12 passengers in business-class comfort. The flightdeck is equipped with the Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion integrated avionics suite, supporting advanced situational awareness and FMS functionality typical for long-range business aviation missions. With a mission range of 4,018 nm and a high-speed cruise of 466 kts, typical operations for this airframe include transcontinental U.S. flights and near-international missions that leverage the aircraft’s high cruise speed and 45,000 ft service ceiling. Maintenance considerations align with the HTF7500E engine family and the Pro Line Fusion avionics lifecycle, both of which influence scheduled shop visits and support planning for this specific serial.
The Embraer EMB-550 Praetor 600 occupies the super-midsize to long-range light-heavy segment, offering extended range and higher cruise speeds relative to previous Legacy/Lineage family members. Competing models in its performance niche include other long-range business jets with similar transcontinental capability. Buyer and charter demand for the Praetor 600 typically centers on operators seeking a balance of range (4,018 nm) and cabin comfort (executive 8–12 layout), while resale and maintenance profiles are influenced by HTF7500E engine support and the avionics fit, notably the Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion package.
