Brazilian aviation authorities awarded the type certificate for the fly-by-wire Embraer Legacy 500 on Tuesday, a milestone that should be followed by FAA certification of the twinjet in the coming weeks.
“We are thrilled with the achievement of the Legacy 500 certification, a revolutionary jet that delivers true innovation to our customers,” said Frederico Fleury Curado, Embraer president and CEO. “I want to congratulate our teams for their passion and their dedication to bring to market this extraordinary aircraft.”
