Legacy 600 | The first Embraer business jet

[@embfixer]

I worked the EMB-135/145 and Legacy for almost 20 years. We also were the only operator of the 145XR for a while. The XR has many of the same mods on the Legacy, like the strakes in the rear, the lowered keel beam, the flap gap shrouds, the ventral tank behind the wing box and lots of others. The plane where very maintenance friendly and pilots seemed to enjoy flying them. I've worked everything from MD-10/11, A300/310, 757,767, ATR, EMB-120, B1900 and on and on, the EMB-145 was by far, my favorite. Thanks for the video, lots of good memories.

Legacy 600/ERJ pilot here. As always this was a great presentation. The Legacy and the rest of the ERJ family are well-engineered machines and quite fun to fly. Since you seemed to like the lavatory so much I'm surprised you didn't mention that the toilet also has a built-in bidet haha.

Embraer is making some sexy planes these days. Nice.

[@NeilPatton1962]

Excellent video, I enjoyed it a lot. I had a significant role in the entry of Embraer into the Executive Aviation market, setting up and leading the International (non-American) side of the business. So I've followed the whole story so far closely. Most of the commentary is accurate, only a few minor details wrong. There are many, many interesting stories about Embraer's entry in this market, but ultimately the vision was of a gentleman called Sam Hill. He is the father of the aircraft that became known as the Legacy and that name is down to him. The 600 was a later addition to establish a family structure as we added the Phenom's and Lineage into the mix. The initial motivation and contract for the development of the aircraft was so that it could be used by a charter provider for NetJets additional lift, and the initial design was a configuration copy of the NetJets GIV-SP with a rear galley.....an aircraft that never actually got built. The first Legacy's were sold to an internal client (one of the Embraer shareholders, and a single aircraft business jet sale of an Embraer was to a Japanese private buyer. I know, I made that sale myself, using a Falcon 2000 brochure, as an example of a business jet, as we hadn't yet received the first printed materials of our new jet :-) I look forward to reviewing other videos, as you have done good research. I've flown many hours on the aircraft in the video as one of Embraer's demonstrators....nice to see the refitted interior. Sirius Aero have a good aircraft there, but sadly only A1P engines..and consequently probably a significantly less range than a 'standard' Legacy as most had the A1E engines and some weight reduction.

[@DonnieXz]

As a Brazilian I agree one hundred percent with everything you said :)

[@aidansilversmith]

[@jealva]

Traded up from a GIV to a Legacy 600 for our IPO roadshow and it was outstanding. I only wished we had used it for the entire trip.

[@NeilPatton1962]

I am astounded that you call that a 'trade up'. I am also delighted. Back when both aircraft were sold competitively the GIV was considered a class (or two) above the Legacy...it cost 50% more, and had higher performance. However for the average missions the Legacy did offer a real competition in value for money terms.

Only the tip of the winglet broke off the Legacy in that mid-air collision. That means that if Embraer had not introduced winglets in this model, nobody on the Boeing would have died.

Could you advise why this plane has additional stabilizer fins under it's tail?

[@NeilPatton1962]

It's a complicated story.....but one simple thing is they look a lot 'cooler' than the first solution the engineering team proposed to us to solve the issues the strakes eventually solved. That first idea was tail mounted barn doors (aka the Beach 1900D)..and as ugly as sin. I have never seen any photo of the porotype we were shown, as probably all destroyed as the aircraft was way, way too ugly to be Brazilian. The strakes solution is fine.....even if they didn't totally absolutely solve all the issues. If you look carefully there's also a yaw damping 'mini-rudder' back there....and under the belly of the aircraft a keel, like a ship.....!!!

[@ARTDEVGRU247]

Haha no. The operating cost for 400 hours for one of these is $1.7 million a year, multiplied by 2 is $3.4million. The G650ER doesn't cost anywhere near that for 400 hours, it's more like $2.4million.

Anthony, you have the opportunity here to learn something or to play the idiot. Your choice. For the sake of argument, you have a $5million jet...(Legacy) depreciating at lest's say 10% a year....so $500k. Actually in the real World it is just about appreciating, but forget the real world for now. The cost of money for a $5K loan lets say a whopping 5%.......so another $250K a year. Opportunity cost of Capital...let's just assume you need a jet. So each legacy above operating costs has a $750K 'financing' cost. Now a $75million G650....let's pretend only 5% depreciation.....so $3,750,00 a year..initially. In the real world a new machine is a chunk more capital than this..... Then financing that capital sum at a mere 1.5% adds another $1,125,000 ...so a nice round $5mil of financial cost.... Legacy ois about $3,500-$4000/hr for ops costs, but lets go wild and say $5K 2x400x$5000 = $4mil add in the $1.5 for financing and you get to $5.5mil for two aircraft and 400 hrs a year paid...... $5mil sits you a G650 on the ramp not moving, and not even insured.

The 'Legacy' name was to illustrate that the aircraft and the company had a long Legacy of building quality aircraft. We were entering a new market sector where the companies reputation and history was mostly unknown, so the name was well chosen. Initially it was only Legacy, the 600 branding came later as we introduced the Phenom and Lineage to create a family link. We also had the Legacy shuttle.
