N843FC

This airframe, registered as N843FC, is an Embraer Praetor 500 (EMB-545) completed in 2024 with manufacturer serial number 55010133. The aircraft is owned by K-VA-T Food Stores Inc, a corporation based in Abingdon, VA, US, which is listed as the operator/home base entity for this registrant. Entered into U.S. registry upon completion in 2024, the airframe’s paperwork reflects corporate ownership rather than a fractional or charter operator, with no subsequent ownership transfers or notable registry actions reported in the supplied data. Condition and valuation specifics are not published in the provided dataset.

The cabin of this Praetor 500 conforms to the typical executive arrangement described for the model, generally a 7–9 passenger executive layout in practice but fitted on this airframe with a total of 11 certified seats; it features a flat‑floor cabin with 6 ft cabin height, a forward galley, an aft lavatory, and an in‑flight accessible baggage compartment. Avionics for the type are standard Pro Line Fusion components from Rockwell Collins / Collins Aerospace, and this airframe carries that equipment set as part of the Praetor 500 standard options. Typical mission profiles for the aircraft include long-range executive transport and point-to-point corporate travel—utilizing its 3,340 nm range and 462 kts cruise to connect transcontinental city pairs without intermediate stops. As a corporate-owned airframe based in Abingdon, VA, routine operator maintenance considerations align with Embraer and Honeywell schedules for HTF7500E engines and Pro Line Fusion avionics support.

The Embraer Praetor 500 (EMB-545) occupies the midsize super-midsize business jet niche for high-speed, long-range corporate missions, delivering transcontinental range comparable to turbofan competitors. Its competitors typically include other midsize and light-heavy offerings from legacy manufacturers; buyers and charter operators prize the Praetor 500’s combination of range, cabin height and modern avionics. Maintenance and resale considerations for this specific airframe hinge on HTF7500E engine program participation and Pro Line Fusion avionics supportability; corporate ownership like K-VA-T Food Stores Inc generally favors predictable maintenance records and centralized base support for business continuity.
