Operating the Embraer Praetor 600 involves both fixed and variable costs that owners should carefully consider. Annual fixed expenses—including crew salaries, hangar fees, hull insurance, liability insurance, and miscellaneous costs—total approximately $949,595. Variable costs, encompassing fuel, maintenance, engine reserves, and other miscellaneous expenses, amount to about $4,410 per flight hour.
