12-13-2022, 05:24 PM #1Any other Legacy / Praetor Pilots here?
Hi all -
I'm reaching out to see if there are any other EMB-550 pilots / owners / operators here and active? I am a former Phenom 300 driver, now flying a Praetor 500, N808PD. Would love to connect with others.

01-11-2023, 02:52 PM #4Great to hear from you, (Username Protected). We last touched base a year or so ago when you were trying to get some answers out of Collins. I'm in that same state now about a CPDLC enroute issue....same experience! It's nice to see a small group of us pop up here...hopefully we can drag in a few more. I'd value chance to chat about a few Legacy/Praetor things with other pilots.

01-11-2023, 04:12 PM #6I use Satcom Direct, and they have been great actually. The challenge I've had with Collins has come because L3Harris recently reached out to me about enroute CPDLC in KUSA, and said I needed to change my Line 18 filing string from 1FANSE to 1FANSER because of newly discovered a deficiency in the way the Collins is able to load reroutes. They said that Collins would be able to provide full information about the problem and possible future fix. So far, Collins via direct contact and via my Collins FSR have been entirely unhelpful. Not the biggest issue in the world, but super frustrating when they don't engage.

Fresh out of initial, typed with HUD/EFVS add-on. Great airplane and great training at FlightSafety by the way. Was a Phenom driver before the Praetor as well. Based in TN.

Current phenom driver here but also typed in the praetor. Company was supposed to get one but things changed. If anyone is looking for a guy to sit right seat please let me know, can't wait to get up and fly the real deal!
