Hello, good morning.
[65]
- Morning Sam.
[66]
We're gonna leave Punta Cana and head to Miami
[67]
on our lazy graze Praetor 500,
[69]
Embraer's mid-sized jet.
[72]
(soft piano music)
[89]
- Hi Sam, welcome onboard our new Praetor 500.
[93]
- Wow, this is the new cabin.
[96]
I like this, look at this.
[97]
It smells brand new.
[99]
Brand new aeroplane.
[100]
And it's a lot wider, actually.
[103]
It's really, really comfortable here.
[105]
Beautifully done.
[106]
Very, very upscale.
[108]
(rhumba music)
[121]
- Hi, my name is Eduardo Camiliere.
[124]
I'm a test pilot for Embraer.
[126]
Today I'll be the captain for our flight
[128]
from Punta Cana to Fort Lauderdale.
[131]
And we have a route already set up here
[135]
in the cockpit.
[136]
We're gonna be flying at 43,000 feet.
[140]
The weather is nice.
[141]
Winds are also helping us in the direction of Florida.
[145]
And I hope everybody on board has a really nice time.
[149]
I'm here with my fellow captain Louis Sogado.
[152]
He's one of Embraer pilots as me.
[157]
And we're flying today the Praetor 500.
[159]
This aeroplane is one of the most modern aeroplanes
[162]
in the market.
[163]
It's a full fly-by-wire aeroplane.
[167]
We don't have a yoke.
[168]
We fly side sticks.
[171]
We have a full set of huge,
[174]
beautiful, colourful displays.
[177]
And all these displays we can put our charts
[180]
for flying.
[181]
We have our informations that we use
[184]
for basic flying.
[186]
We have our flight plan down here.
[189]
We even see the synodic pages
[191]
that we can see all of our systems,
[194]
how they are working.
[195]
So this is the best you can get
[198]
in the market today.
[202]
- I literally have the whole jet to myself,
[204]
but there are just a few more passengers
[206]
tagging along with me.
[207]
So this is Alisa.
[209]
Alisa's from Embraer.
[210]
And this is Jay.
[212]
So they are riding together with me.
[214]
Also I have Tiago here,
[216]
so they're all Embraer experts.
[218]
They're riding with me and showing off
[221]
this brand new Praetor 500
[223]
with just 14 hours on the clock.
[226]
It literally flew in from the factory
[228]
brand new from Brazil to here.
[229]
- Morning, my name is Pam.
[231]
You're onboard the Praetor 500.
[234]
Today we're going from Punta Cana to Fort Lauderdale.
[237]
Our flight time's about two hours and 22 minutes,
[240]
about that time.
[242]
I just wanna give you a safety briefing.
[243]
We have two entry,
[247]
emergency exits,
[249]
the door that came through
[250]
and the one that's over the toilet.
[257]
Your life vests are located behind your ankles.
[260]
In the incident of a loss of oxygen pressurisation,
[265]
your oxygen masks will drop from here.
[269]
We have a light breakfast for you.
[271]
Any questions?
[273]
- [Sam] No, ready to go.
[274]
- Okay, let's go.
[275]
(upbeat techno music)
[289]
(plane engines revving)
[296]
(engine noise over pilots checking systems)
[306]
- Check.
[306]
(aeroplane engine)
[320]
(upbeat techno music)
[334]
- Sam, do you mind?
[335]
I'm gonna set your table for a light breakfast.
[336]
- No, sure.
[339]
(table clicks)
[341]
(upbeat music)
[347]
Thank you.
[349]
Look at that.
[350]
(upbeat music)
[360]
I am so amazed.
[362]
I have my name on the menu
[364]
and look at, it's beautiful like
[366]
I was ready for a treat.
[370]
Oh my gosh, oh my gosh.
[371]
It goes really flat.
[376]
Incredible, incredible.
[379]
(clicking)
[379]
(upbeat techno music)
[411]
Cheers, guys.
[418]
- Sam, let me help you move forward.
[420]
- Okay.
[423]
Ah, I see.
[424]
Thank you.
[425]
(smooth jazz music)
[441]
I'm just showing you how creative
[444]
the Embraer Praetor can be.
[446]
We can turn all the seats facing sideways like this.
[450]
How nice this is.
[452]
- So Sam, we're halfway to Fort Lauderdale now.
[455]
How do you feel about the Praetor 500
[457]
and your experience so far?
[458]
- You know what Jay?
[459]
This is the best experience
[461]
of a mid-sized private jet I ever have
[463]
because the cabin is wider,
[466]
much wider that a typical mid-sized jet.
[468]
And best of all, it's so quiet on this plane, you know?
[472]
Really, really good experience.
[473]
Really comfortable.
[474]
- Praetor 500 is a 3,250 nautical mile aeroplane.
[480]
As you mention, the comfort that you experience
[482]
is because it's the widest aircraft.
[484]
Actually, the closest competitor
[485]
is five inches narrower on the shoulders
[488]
and seven at the floor, the flat floor.
[490]
Six foot stand up cabin.
[492]
With 5,800 foot cabin altitude pressure
[495]
at 45,000 feet,
[497]
our bodies only feel like we're at 5,800,
[499]
which allows us to have less cabin fatigue.
[502]
It's a social jet for the social age,
[505]
I like to say.
[507]
We do have connectivity.
[508]
Not only the overland Wifi capabilities,
[512]
but KA band as an option,
[514]
first for the mid-sized jet category.
[516]
- The nice thing about this plane is,
[518]
it's a mid-sized jet for mid-sized budgets and cost.
[522]
However, it gives you a feeling about this is actually
[526]
wider so it feels like you paid for something
[528]
better than the mid-sized jet, right?
[530]
- Absolutely.
[531]
- And Jay, I wanna ask you like how much a jet
[533]
like this cost?
[534]
- This aircraft is 16,995
[537]
so almost 17 million well-equipped.
[539]
- I like the way you say it, 16,995.
[543]
It's $16,995,000, right?
[546]
- That's right.
[547]
- Oh my gosh.
[548]
So if I give you $17 million, I get $5 back.
[551]
- That's right.
[552]
- Okay.
[552]
- As long as you give me even bills,
[553]
I'll give you the five back.
[555]
- So this is the bathroom on the Praetor 500.
[559]
It's also pretty volume and spacious.
[561]
I'm telling you for a mid-sized jet,
[563]
don't think about the plane,
[564]
but a mid-sized jet to have a dedicated bathroom like this,
[567]
this is luxury.
[571]
- We talked earlier about the social jet,
[573]
or social media jet.
[574]
And I just happen to have your YouTube channel up here.
[577]
You know, served
[578]
from our Wifi system. - Oh my gosh, you do.
[580]
- And the nice thing is we have
[582]
Homelife Entertainment so through Apple TV,
[584]
I'm able to put the presentation up
[586]
onto the monitor.
[590]
The chair turns all the way around and create--
[591]
- Look up.
[592]
- Hey, Tiago, Alisa. - Hey, Jay.
[594]
- How are you, see?
[595]
- [Sam] Can I do this?
[596]
- Do it.
[599]
- Oh my gosh.
[600]
So fast, this is amazing.
[601]
Now I turn into a 360 like this.
[603]
Oh my gosh.
[604]
- So, a social has now given us social opportunity,
[607]
no matter where you sit on the aeroplane.
[609]
- So this is the back seat here.
[611]
What I like about this one is,
[613]
it's not cramped.
[614]
There's a lot of room.
[615]
'Cause see this.
[617]
And you can still recline all the way.
[619]
So there's actually even if you're sitting back,
[622]
it can be really comfortable seat.
[624]
It's not a bad seat at all.
[625]
- Sam, I'm gonna show you how we berth these seats
[628]
into a full sleeper.
[630]
(jazzy music)
[640]
- All right.
[644]
Nice.
[646]
(smooth jazz music)
[654]
(engine noise over Eduardo and Sam speaking)
[662]
- [Sam] Very, very easy.
[663]
Very easy.
[666]
(smooth jazz music)
[689]
- We're gonna land on this airport right here,
[691]
the Fort Lauderdale International Airport.
[693]
This is the approach chart that we're gonna
[696]
fly to land in Fort Lauderdale.
[698]
And you can see here,
[699]
it also has a depiction of our position in the chart
[703]
so he's gonna bring us around here,
[705]
turn us in and then we'll land here.
[708]
(smooth jazz music)
[731]
(clicking)
[734]
(aeroplane engine)
[762]
(aeroplane touches down)
[764]
(jazz music)
[777]
- That was a great flight.
[778]
- 'Kay, Sam.
[779]
Now we're excited to show you the Praetor 600.
[782]
Come on inside.
[783]
(smooth jazz music)
[803]
- With this interior being called the bossa nova,
[806]
what does that really mean?
[808]
Of course, it's a form of music
[809]
that became very famous and--
[811]
complicated, rich interior.
[813]
But really, it's about the Americas coming together,
[815]
North America and South America.
[817]
And what can you do with that kind of power?
[819]
Well the bossa nova.
[820]
When translated, it means new trend or new wave.
[823]
So what we've captured now are two Americas
[827]
finally giving the best they have
[829]
for a single purpose.
[831]
And that's creating the ultimate, crafted,
[833]
stylized interior in the ultimate
[835]
super mid-sized jet with the Praetor 600.
[838]
(jazz music)
[848]
- What a beautiful jet.
[849]
Look at this interior.
[851]
It has the x factor and bossa nova,
[855]
what a theme.
[857]
- And we have the ability to keep
[858]
a 105 degree seating angle
[860]
while at the same time when berthing
[862]
the cushions it flattens out.
[865]
And then the cushions fall back
[867]
into the hold and create
[871]
the bed.
[872]
- [Sam] Wow.
[872]
- So you could have somebody sitting,
[875]
somebody laying.
[877]
- I like the greatness about the business jet.
[879]
It's not like the airline travel.
[880]
You can customise the jets
[883]
to the way you want.
[884]
You can decide and you can literally
[886]
have your own airline design.
[888]
If I ever gonna run my own airline,
[890]
Air Sam Chui,
[891]
I know what the interior will be like.
[893]
