Embraer delivered the first Legacy 500 on Friday, less than two months after the fly-by-wire midsize jet obtained certification from Brazilian civil aviation authority ANAC. The launch customer, an unidentified Brazilian company, accepted the aircraft during a ceremony at Embraer headquarters in São José dos Campos, Brazil. “The entry into service of the Legacy 500 is yet another important achievement by our company,” said Embraer Executive Jets president and CEO Marco Túlio Pellegrini. FAA certification of the new business jet is pending.
