The Embraer Praetor 500's ~3,340 nm range comfortably covers the ~2,278 nm Miami–Lima route, so it makes the trip nonstop — with reserve for winds and an alternate — in both directions, year-round. Plan roughly 5h 27m of block time.
Range vs. Distance
| Measure | Value |
|---|---|
| Miami → Lima (great circle) | ~2,278 nm |
| Embraer Praetor 500 range | ~3,340 nm |
| Margin | 1,062 nm to spare |
| Aircraft class | midsize jet |
Book range (NBAA IFR) already includes fuel reserves, but westbound headwinds effectively add distance — which is why a route near the edge of an aircraft's range is treated as conditional rather than a guaranteed nonstop. The operating crew calculates final fuel for the specific date, winds, and payload.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. The Embraer Praetor 500's ~3,340 nm range comfortably covers the ~2,278 nm Miami–Lima route, so it makes the trip nonstop — with reserve for winds and an alternate — in both directions, year-round. Plan roughly 5h 27m of block time.
The great-circle distance is about 2,278 nautical miles. Real flight plans run a little longer because of routing and winds, and westbound legs effectively add distance against the prevailing flow.
About 3,340 nautical miles (NBAA IFR). That is enough for transcontinental and many longer trips, with transoceanic range depending on the specific route and winds.
Roughly 5h 27m of block time, varying with winds and routing. Westbound legs against the prevailing winds run longer than eastbound.
