Inside The $30 Million Embraer Legacy 600 Private Jet
0:00 - Intro
This is the Embraer Legacy 600 a super midsize aircraft that offers a luxurious three-zone cabin, and today, we’re going inside it.
0:09 - Cabin
The spacious cabin is undeniably one of its standout features, and it's thoughtfully divided into three zones. Dimensions are 6 feet or 1.83 meters in height, 6 feet 11 inches or 2.10 meters in width.
It offers comfortable seating for up to 13 passengers, although 10 is more reasonable. The leather armchairs are plush and incredibly comfortable. The side-facing sofa adds an element of homeliness and comfort that is usually missing in such aircraft. Each seat is anchored and can be transformed into a bed.
One feature that stands out is the conference table, which is large enough to facilitate group discussions.
Aft of the cabin, the stateroom provides a private and serene space for rest or relaxation. A roomy, private lavatory is aft, while a second is optional and would be forward-positioned.
In terms of entertainment, the Legacy 600 does not disappoint. There is Wi-Fi connectivity throughout the cabin. In addition, the aircraft is equipped with a state-of-the-art inflight entertainment system: cabin amenities include two 17-inch flat-screen monitors, DVD players with individual controls, and seats that fully recline. 22 large windows and full LED lighting make the cabin feel exceptionally spacious.
For those concerned about cabin noise, the Legacy 600 is known for its quiet operation. The engines are whisper quiet, barely perceptible over the soft hum of the cabin's air conditioning. The 240-cubic-foot or 6.8-cubic-meter baggage compartment can hold 1,000 lbs or 450 kg, and can be accessed in flight through the roomy lavatory.
3:22 - Cockpit
The cockpit is built around a Honeywell Primus Elite avionics suite, a state-of-the-art glass cockpit that displays a plethora of essential flight data for the pilots. From the main panel, pilots are presented with primary flight, navigation, and engine data, along with several ancillary information regarding the aircraft's overall status. The flight data is displayed on high-resolution LCD screens.
The suite offers advanced functionalities and intuitive controls, all arranged in a way to streamline the pilot's workflow.
One of the most important elements of the cockpit is its fly-by-wire control system, which offers precise control over the aircraft's flight surfaces. The system also includes a smart autobrake feature that can help to improve landing performance and safety.
The seats are designed to provide ample support during long flights, and the layout of the cockpit ensures that all controls and displays are within easy reach. Additionally, the design of the cockpit glass reduces glare and ensures a good field of vision in various flight conditions.
5:54 - Engine and Performance
Talking about performance, the Legacy 600 is powered by two Rolls-Royce AW3007A1E engines, each producing 8,000 lbs of thrust. The aircraft requires 5,615 feet or 1,710 meters of runway to take off on a standard day. The engines allow a maximum rate of climb per minute of 3,000 feet or 915 meters, and a maximum cruising altitude of 41,000 feet or 12,500 meters. The plane has a maximum speed of Mach 0.80 or 460 knots, a maximum cruise speed of Mach 0.78 or 447 knots, with an average hourly fuel burn of 300 gallons or 1,135 liters.
The jet has a maximum range of 3,400 nautical miles, which is 3,900 miles or 6,300 kilometers, and a minimum landing distance of 2,685 feet or 818 meters, all while maintaining a maximum net payload of 5,200 lbs or 2,360 kg and a full-fuel payload of 1,500 lbs or 680 kg. Full fuel amounts to 2,680 gallons or 10,000 liters.
7:57 - Past Issues
The Legacy 600 wasn’t always the plane you see today. When Legacies began arriving in the U.S. in 2002, they were plagued by interior fit and finish and cabin noise problems and a series of airworthiness directives that covered everything from the passenger seats' floor tracking to inadequate drainage of leaking fuel.
9:15 - Purchase and Charter Price
The base purchase price for a new Embraer Legacy 600 is $26 million before options, and the charter price is estimated at $8,000 to $12,000 per hour. Naturally, prices will vary depending on availability, fuel prices, ground fees, and more.
9:34 - Operating Cost
While the annual fixed cost is roughly $800,000 to $1,200,000, the average hourly operating cost is estimated at $4,000 to $6,000.
