The Embraer Legacy 500 made a bold statement when it entered service in 2014, fundamentally redefining what a midsize jet could offer. Featuring digital fly-by-wire controls, a true flat-floor stand-up cabin, and a spacious interior that rivaled larger super midsize jet aircraft, the Legacy 500 proved that innovation could deliver a truly exceptional combination of performance and comfort. While production concluded in 2020 to pave the way for the upgraded Praetor 600, a pre-owned Embraer Legacy 500 remains an outstanding value in today’s business aircraft sales market—and a top-tier recommendation from leading jet brokerage specialists.
A CABIN EXPERIENCE BEYOND ITS CLASS
For passengers, the Legacy 500 is all about comfort and luxury typically found in much larger jets.
- Unmatched Spaciousness: The flat-floor cabin offers an impressive 6 feet of height and 6 feet, 10 inches of width, providing a sense of space and freedom of movement unmatched by many competitors in its category.
- Flexible and Functional Layouts: Typical configurations seat up to 9 passengers in two zones, often featuring fully articulating club seats and a three-place divan. The aircraft also boasts a fully functional galley and a large,in-flight accessible baggage compartment.
- Quiet and Connected: A quiet cabin environment and modern connectivity options ensure that passengers can work, relax, or stay entertained throughout their journey.
PERFORMANCE AND TECHNOLOGY THAT PUTS SAFETY FIRST
The Legacy 500 was a technological pioneer, and its advanced features remain highly desirable across the pre-owned market.
- Full Fly-by-Wire: The Legacy 500 was the first midsize jet to feature a full, digital fly-by-wire flight control system. This technology reduces pilot workload, enhances safety by providing envelope protection, and ensures a smoother ride.
- Efficient Engines: Powered by two reliable Honeywell HTF7500E turbofan engines, the aircraft offers excellent performance and fuel efficiency.
- Transcontinental Range: With a range of over 3,100 nautical miles, the Legacy 500 can handle demanding transcontinental flights, connecting city pairs like New York to San Francisco nonstop.
A SMART INVESTMENT IN THE PRE-OWNED MARKET
For buyers seeking exceptional value, a used Legacy 500 offers modern capabilities at an accessible price point.
- Modern Avionics: The cockpit features the advanced Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion avionics suite, which includes large, high-resolution touchscreen displays and synthetic vision.
- Proven Reliability and Support: Embraer’s reputation for robust and reliable aircraft, combined with its global support network, provides owners with predictable operating costs and high dispatch reliability.
- Excellent Value: While new production ended in 2020, the Legacy 500 remains a highly capable and desirable aircraft, offering a fantastic balance of luxury, performance, and accessible pricing in the used business jet market.
