South Korea’s Flight
Inspection Services Center has taken delivery of the first Praetor 600
aircraft in the
country.
The Praetor 600 is outfitted with Aerodata’s most modern flight inspection system AeroFIS.

flight inspection tasks such as site survey, surveillance,
commissioning inspection, periodic inspection, special inspection,
procedure validation, and ADS-B airborne checks.
Such missions
are vital for maintaining and calibrating navigation aids,
ensuring the safety and precision of air navigation systems across
the country.
Embraer worked closely Aerodata AG to
achieve the type certification and delivery to
South Korea’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport

reflects our commitment to delivering innovative solutions that
make a difference in aviation. We look forward to a continued
partnership with Aerodata AG and South Korea with our exceptional
service.”
Key highlights of the Praetor 600
include the aircraft’s state-of-the-art technology, efficiency,
range and reliability.
The aircraft is
equipped with full Fly-by-Wire controls that reduce pilot workload
and provide a safer and smoother flight experience with active turbulence reduction capability.
The Praetor 600's advanced safety
features and redundant systems provide added reliability during
critical inspection missions, whilst the head-up display (HUD), high-end
communication systems, and an advanced flight control system,
ensure the highest level of precision during inspection missions.
With a range of 4,018 nautical miles (7,441km),
the aircraft can cover vast distances efficiently, enabling
comprehensive inspection coverage of South Korea's airspace and
navigation infrastructure.
The aircraft's performance
capabilities, including its Maximum Operating Speed of Mach 0.83,
enables swift response to flight inspection requirements and
ensure minimal disruption to regular air traffic.
