What the Embraer Legacy 650 is like

Heavy jet derived from the ERJ-135 with a three-zone stand-up cabin typically seating 13 and one of the largest in-flight-accessible baggage holds in its class (~286 cu ft, room for about 20 suitcases). Its 3,900 nm range flies London-New York, Paris-Dubai or Singapore-Sydney-style missions nonstop, making it a value pick for transatlantic and long intercontinental charters.

Where the Embraer Legacy 650 flies nonstop

Great-circle distances between business aviation airports, against its 3,900 nm range. We mark a route near the limit once it uses more than 85 percent of the published range, because a full cabin or a headwind can turn it into a fuel stop.

Time at cruise leaves out taxi, climb, descent and the day’s winds, so a real block time runs longer.

Questions

Embraer Legacy 650: charter questions

Typically 13 in charter configuration. Cabin layouts differ from one aircraft to the next, so ask the operator for the seat map of the exact aircraft you are quoted, and how many of the seats convert to beds if you fly overnight.
About 3,900 nautical miles (7,223 km, 4,488 statute miles), or roughly 8.5 hours at its typical cruise speed of 456 knots. That is the published figure, which assumes a light load, calm winds and standard fuel reserves: a full cabin, heavy bags, headwinds or a cold-weather alternate airport all cut it.
It cruises around 456 knots, about 525 mph or 845 km/h. Block time on a real trip adds taxi, climb, descent and the day’s winds.
Yes, on paper. New York to London is about 2,986 nautical miles, within the Embraer Legacy 650’s 3,900, and takes roughly 6.5 hours at cruise speed before taxi, climb and winds. Los Angeles to Tokyo (4,746 nm) is beyond it and needs a fuel stop. The operator confirms it for your passengers, bags and date.
A heavy jet. Large cabins for bigger groups, with the range to cross the Atlantic. Comparable aircraft in our catalog: Bombardier Challenger 605, Bombardier Challenger 650, Dassault Falcon 900 and Gulfstream G350.
A charter is priced per trip, not per seat: the route, dates, repositioning of the aircraft, overnight crew costs and fees all go into the quote, so we quote the trip rather than publish one figure. Our guide to private jet costs has dated price ranges by aircraft size, and our charter desk quotes this aircraft and its alternatives for your dates.
