The Praetor 600E super-midsize business jet from Embraer has obtained type certification from Brazil’s ANAC, the FAA, and EASA, marking a key step for its entry into service.
ANAC granted its type certificate to the Praetor 600 on April 18, with FAA and EASA approvals following, enabling deliveries to commence. The aircraft builds on the Praetor 600 platform with an upgraded cabin featuring a pioneering 42-inch 4K OLED touchscreen Smart Window for videoconferencing, high-resolution video streaming, and real-time views from three external cameras. It includes a new Cabin Management System, enhanced onboard entertainment and lighting, and redesigned seats with configurable cushion firmness, dual lumbar support, forward-sliding headrests, increased legroom, and electric-assisted release for smoother adjustments.
The galley offers expanded storage, waste disposal, and an ice drawer to support longer missions. Avionics feature full fly-by-wire controls with active turbulence reduction, Embraer Enhanced Vision System, Runway Overrun Awareness and Alert System, and Collins Aerospace Pro Line Fusion flight deck. Range exceeds 4,000 nautical miles in long-range cruise, with takeoff field length under 4,500 feet. Deliveries of new orders are slated for the first quarter of 2029.
Embraer also certified a Synthetic Vision Guidance System for Praetor 500 and 600 models with ANAC and FAA, allowing decision heights of 150 feet and compatibility with or without HUD or Enhanced Vision System.
