Embraer wrapped up certification flight tests of its new 3,900-nm super midsize Praetor 600 model on Monday as it remains on track for approval and deliveries beginning in mid-year, company executives said today. Meanwhile, the 3,250-nm midsize Praetor 500 sibling is expected to follow this year. The company is now turning to a flight maturity campaign as it preps the models for market entry. The certification flight test campaign had accrued 339 flight hours and 472 flight cycles, with the maturity campaign so far collecting another 32.2 flight hours and 14 flight cycles.
