N946TC

This airframe, registered N946TC, is an Embraer EMB-550 Praetor 600 built in 2022 with manufacturer serial number 55020170. The aircraft is owned by CHICK-FIL-A INC, a corporation based in Atlanta, GA, US, and is registered in the US; its FAA registration records indicate a certified seating count of 14. There are no publicly disclosed changes of ownership or notable registry actions beyond standard registration; valuation and detailed condition reports have not been published. The airframe carries typical factory equipment and a corporate operator profile consistent with company flight departments based in Atlanta.

The airframe is equipped in the typical Praetor 600 executive standard, described in trade literature as an eight-place club seating cabin, while FAA registration lists 14 seats, reflecting that certified seating count may vary by interior specification. Avionics on the type are typically the Collins Aerospace Pro Line Fusion suite, which supports advanced flight management and situational awareness for long-range corporate missions. Operated from an Atlanta corporate base by its owner, the aircraft is configured for transcontinental and intercontinental missions enabled by a maximum range of 4,018 nm, regularly used for company executive transport, regional repositioning flights, and long single-leg sectors. Maintenance considerations follow the Embraer Praetor 600 program and the Honeywell HTF7500E-series engine maintenance schedule appropriate to a 2022-build airframe.

The Embraer EMB-550 Praetor 600 occupies the super-midsize business jet niche with a blend of long-range capability, high cruise speed, and modern avionics. Competing models include offerings from Gulfstream, Bombardier, and Dassault in similar mission and cabin-size segments; the Praetor family is noted for efficient range-to-cost performance and advanced cockpit fit. For this specific 2022 airframe, buyers and charter operators consider engine program coverage, the HTF7500E support network, and interior certification choices (eight-place executive fit versus a 14-seat certified layout) when assessing maintenance, operating economics, and resale positioning.
