Aircraft Review: Embraer Legacy 500

[@v1_rotate638]

That flight deck is gorgeous.

[@valuedhumanoid6574]

My company chartered a Phenom 300 to go to the IMT show in Chicago. It was about a thousand miles one way. It was just so fast, comfortable and it is now the only plane our CEO will fly on now. We were all about the Citation X for years and it is still a great business jet, but the -300 was just a game changer. This 500 looks like a real winner. Perhaps if we need a larger jet we will check into this. Hard to leave a -300 though.

[@petersampson5202]

I found a 2019 that would be A DREAM COME TRUE. GOD BLESS MY AWESOME FRIENDS.

[@katahdincloud9803]

Looking forward to it

[@hpedrotti]

The Legacy 500 is definitely a game changer

[@MaxVliet]

If only they could make the Legacy 650 look as sleek as this thing!

[@ashaleeberlin5182]

Phenomenal .. cruiseing here on these beautiful air crafts interior ..

[@LMays-cu2hp]

Looking very nice.

[@Kaipeternicolas]

Finally Embraer moved to Sidestick Controls. Looks so much cleaner!

[@heyjaypay4521]

Many pilots, myself included, would disagree that side stick is better.

[@Kaipeternicolas]

Airplane Spotting HD and many pilots, myself included, would agree ;) And I never said that side sticks are generally "better".

[@heyjaypay4521]

What ever you prefer, just don't crash and we'll get along just fine.

[@Kaipeternicolas]

Airplane Spotting HD hahaha very well said. I have come to the same point before with a buddy of mine who flies for American. I know both systems have their advantages/disadvantages. I prefer the sidestick, but I have nothing against a yoke. But the old Embraer bicycle yoke looked hideous in that beautiful jet and doesn't fit the modern cockpit anymore in my opinion ;)

[@ZK-APA]

Basic concept is if you are a pilot and love flying non autopilot, then yoke is preferable. But if you are an aircraft operator or a pilot who’s mainly flying long distance cruise on autopilot, a side stick will make more sense

[@goose2300]

Looking good. Great Job my friend!!!! Love this aircraft!!

[@jetAVIVA]

gus mezz thanks! Hope the jet is doing great for you! 🛩🛩

[@douglaspera1268]

I would love to see you do a bit on the new 600

[@jetAVIVA]

Thanks, Douglas, and great idea! We're working on it...

[@DoctorVolatile]

My favorite mid-sized jet.. incredible technology, luxurious interior and a lot of head space. I wonder if this can be controlled by a single pilot like the Phenom.

[@jetAVIVA]

Dee Matt, thanks for the comments. While there is a tremendous amount of technology in the Legacy 500, it is 2-crew required jet. No single pilot flying this beauty!

[@murillo0627]

it can not be a single pilot due to law requirements

[@mundlkalli4396]

great demo. Thank you !!!! Can you tell me please what is the difference between the Embrear Legacy 500 and the Praetor 500 ???? Thank you LOVE THAT 500

[@jetAVIVA]

Thank you Mundl, checking with our Embraer expert on your question. You can always email us at [e-mail] and he can connect with you directly on any questions you may have. Thanks!

[@VinderGroup3]

Superb side stick modern controls. So much better than those out of date Gulfstream style nonsense

[@carlosmarquesalvespereira3609]

Fron Brazil.

[@XX-166]

Nice aircraft. I’ll take 2 of them.

[@bhlinux]

Excelente, congratulations!

[@MarcusLeepapi]

Looking very nice...

[@PhosphorusLux]

BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL EMBRAER IS THE BEST EMBRAER IS THE BEST EMBRAER IS THE BEST

[@efrainbatista2411]

I would love to be a pilot for this plane

[@lourencovalle8621]

BOA NOITE! TENHO MUITO ORGULHO DESSA AERONAVE SER CONCEBIDA EM NOSSO PAÍS. VOANDO PARA O MUNDO. PARABÉNS

[@abulhasan5296]

Can you tell me about its radar system. How its covered.

[@valteralvesdeoliveira9443]

this is Brazill this Embrae very good super good very beautifull Embraer

[@superchill5264]

So cool

[@davideckberg9370]

Silent as to speed, range, runway requirement,payload.and specifications.

[@mark10601]

What’s the price range of these ?

[@jetAVIVA]

Hi Mark! There are a few early 2014’s in the $14-15M range, but most on the market are around $15-16M.

[@mark10601]

jetAVIVA thank you 👍🏻

[@scoobydoo5413]

i will by

[@hazkhan6124]

It's really a beauty, but there are more to know about this jet. How many people can this jet fly and maximum how far away it's also can fly, for example, can this jet fly from Brazil straight to London?

[@jetAVIVA]

Haz Khan The Legacy 500 is advertised as a 3,125 nm aircraft flown with 4 passengers at a long range cruise speed near .80M. Different seating configuration and option selections can impact the range accordingly. The maximum passenger configuration allows for 12 pax via a double divan, side seat and belted lav. Typical interior configuration is either a double club or club plus divan for 8 to 9 passengers.

[@HeathLedgersChemist]

NEEDS MORE WIND NOISE...

[@oscarc332]

imprefer a phenom 300

[@jlsamarcenaria2422]

Blz!!,Brother,

[@marc.wrutgers6704]

No Reverse Thrust ???? Kind of Weird

[@jetAVIVA]

Marc, the Legacy 500 does indeed have thrust reversers. This, combined with a brake by wire system gives the Legacy 500 impressive short field landing performance.

[@marc.wrutgers6704]

@@jetAVIVA Thank you for pointing that out to me . Great looking Jet

[@gerarcvm]

@nightstalker?? Haha, really?? Actually ALL the airplanes in the world (including the A380) are certified without using the thrust reversers, but the TR's are good to help in some situations, even in small propeller airplanes.

[@gerarcvm]

@nightstalker The E145 doesn't need TR's, and the 747 also doesn't need TR's... you use them in both airplanes (when the E145 is equipped) because you don't want to arrive to the gate with the brakes smoking haha, you don't use them to stop the airplane, the airplane can stop perfectly without the TR's. Actually Airbus didn't want to build the A380 with TR's because the brakes were really good, but the FAA encouraged them to install them. In the airplane that I fly (Hawker 850XP) it's common to taxi with a TR open so you don't get your brakes useless before you get to the runway, also the Gulfstream's and Global's use exactly the same taxi procedure.

[@gerarcvm]

@nightstalker Wow, the landing distance in the 747 is computed with the use of TR's? Wow, didn't know... that must be challenging.

[@helviopacifico6560]

AVIAÇAO PELO MUNDO AARTE DA AVIAÇAO PELO MUNDO 🍸🌏🎭 ... BRASIL

[@kazukinishimura526]

I don't like flight sticks lol

[@stevenmerrick7497]

Rich mans toys.

[@superchill5264]

How about too much...or much too much...

[@matthewdomiczek4569]

No yoke, not for me.
