Less than three months after Embraer’s super-midsize Praetor 600E secured triple certification from the FAA, European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), and Brazil’s Agência Nacional de Aviação Civil (ANAC), the Praetor 500E—its midsize cousin—has achieved the same regulatory trifecta.
The 500E is now approved for operations in the U.S., Europe, and Brazil less than six months after Embraer unveiled the models—the first evolutions in the manufacturer’s Praetor family, which it introduced in 2018—in February.
