N808PD

The airframe bearing tail number N808PD is an Embraer Praetor 500 (EMB-545) built in 2018 with serial number 550-10035. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by Phillip M Fernandez of Palo Alto, CA, who is listed as an individual owner and operator/home base in Palo Alto. The airframe’s registration and ownership are straightforward with no public record of multiple prior operators or complex registry actions; valuation records list the airframe at $16,995,000 in current market estimates. Condition highlights reflect a typical late-decade Praetor 500 example equipped to executive standards for 7–9 passengers and expected to meet contemporary short- to mid-range business missions.

The cabin of this specific Praetor 500 is fitted in a typical 7–9 passenger executive layout with a double‑club configuration on a flat floor and a 6 ft cabin height, with in‑flight accessible baggage provision. Avionics are installed as the Collins Pro Line Fusion suite, supporting modern navigation, situational awareness and business-jet mission profiles. Typical operations for N808PD would include transcontinental and business city‑pair missions within the aircraft’s 3,340 nm range and cruise speed near 466 kts, based from its Palo Alto locale for owner-operated travel. Maintenance considerations follow Embraer and Honeywell schedules for the HTF7500E engines and Pro Line Fusion avionics, with in‑service logistics typical of late-model Praetor platforms.

The Embraer Praetor 500 occupies the midsize super-midsize niche for long‑range light business jets, offering performance and cabin volume competitive with contemporaries. With a ceiling of 45,000 ft, range of 3,340 nm, and modern avionics, the model competes against aircraft in the light-to-midsize segment that prioritize transcontinental capability and lower operating costs. Buyer and charter demand for the Praetor 500 has focused on owner-operators and charter operators seeking a modern, efficient cabin and strong performance; resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect typical depreciation and support networks for Embraer airframes and Honeywell-powered installations.
