Praetor 600 - Short Runway Performance

Published

Planning to arrive on time to your destination depends on many factors. While there are some circumstances you can control, there are some you cannot. Most major airports across the world experience delays from time-to-time, especially if they are hubs for airline connections.

Why fly into L-A-X, when what you want is to go to Santa Monica and forego an hour of traffic? Or fly into Rio de Janeiro’s main airport, when you could land at Jacarepaguá, avoiding up to an hour of city congestion? Bypassing these big, delay-prone airports by flying privately into alternative, nearby airports is a benefit of business aviation — allowing you to achieve greater efficiency in planning.

Short Runway Capabilities

The Praetor 600, the most disruptive, super-midsize business jet, can take you to more destinations and bring you closer to where you are actually going. Its enviable takeoff field performance provides access to a wider variety of airports including those with short runways such as Santa Monica (3,500 feet/1,067 m) and Angra dos Reis (2,995 feet/913 m). This aircraft can land in 2,165 feet/660 m (unfactored). And with its best-in-class range of 4,018 nm, routes like Paris to New York, Sydney to Singapore, and Santiago to Miami are all made possible.

Unmatched Performance in Contaminated Runway Conditions

Imagine that you’re trying to leave Wyoming’s cold weather to bask in the south Florida sun. On a winter day at -15° C, the Praetor 600 can fly out of Jackson Hole in two inches of snow with four passengers and easily make it to Miami. How? Because its full fly-by-wire technology allows incredible operation out of short and contaminated runways.

Although that winter wonderland can be beautiful, you can escape with no problem when you fly the Praetor 600. Here at Embraer, we are adamant about full fly-by-wire because of the increased safety and comfort for pilots, passengers and crew. There are many benefits to full fly-by-wire, but better performance in contaminated runways is just one of our advantages and common across multiple Embraer aircraft.

So, whether you’re looking to visit Santa Monica, Jacarepaguá, or London City in lieu of Farnborough, the Praetor 600 can get you there, in comfort and style. To learn more about this aircraft, take a virtual tour of the Praetor 600 in this walkaround video.
