I flew on a $10 million Embraer Phenom 300E and I now understand why it's the most popular private jet in the world

  • The Embraer Phenom 300E made its world debut last October at the National Business Aviation Association conference and exhibition in Las Vegas.
  • The updated 300E builds on the success of the original Phenom 300 that entered service in 2010.
  • Since 2013, the Phenom 300 has been the most delivered private jet in the world.
  • The Phenom 300E has room for as many as 10 passengers and can fly more than 2,200 miles.
  • The Embraer Phenom 300E costs $9.45 million while most customers end up paying around $10 million.

Insider Today

The Embraer Phenom 300 has been an unqualified success since its debut in 2010. Over the past half-decade, more customers have taken delivery of the Phenom 300 than any other private jet in the world. According to Embraer, it has delivered more than 400 of the planes to customers in roughly 40 countries around the world.

In October 2017, Embraer unveiled an updated version of the plane called the Phenom 300E at the 2017 National Business Aviation Association conference and exhibition in Las Vegas, Nevada.

In case you're wondering, the "E" in 300E stands for enhanced. It's in reference to the extra dose of technology and luxury Embraer baked into its new plane.

The Phenom 300E enters the light business jet segment to some stiff competition from traditional stalwarts like Textron's Cessna Citation CJ3+ and Bombardier's Learjet 70. There are even new entrants like Switzerland's Pilatus PC-24 . 

Even though Embraer is a renowned Brazilian planemaker, the company builds its dedicated private jets like the Phenom and Legacy 500 at its facility in Melbourne, Florida. It's larger, commercial airliner-derived private jets like the Legacy 650E and the Lineage 1000E will continue to be produced in Brazil. 

Last year, Business Insider got the chance to experience the Phenom 300E in person on a short a demo flight from Teterboro Airport in New Jersey to White Plains in New York. 

Teterboro is also where we checked out the $20 million Embraer Legacy 500 in 2017 . 

Here's a closer look at the new Embraer Phenom 300E:

Here is the Embraer Phenom 300E waiting for me at Teterboro Airport.

The Phenom 300E is 51 feet, four inches long and 16 feet, nine inches tall.

phenom 300 tour

It boasts a wingspan of 52 feet, two inches.

phenom 300 tour

Despite its classification as a light jet, the Phenom 300E's aesthetics makes it look and feel larger than its actual size.

phenom 300 tour

Power comes from a pair of Pratt & Whitney Canada PW535-E turbofan engines —each producing 3,360 pounds of thrust.

phenom 300 tour

Hidden just below the left engine is...

phenom 300 tour

...A cargo compartment. It, along with another compartment in the nose of the plane, help the Phenom offer up to 84 cubic feet of cargo room.

phenom 300 tour

However, inside the cabin is where you'll see the biggest changes to the Phenom.

phenom 300 tour

Step inside and you'll come to our test plane's two-person divan.

phenom 300 tour

The divan's multi-tone, diamond stitched upholstery is a give away that this isn't your run-of-the-mill private jet. More on interior design later. But first...

phenom 300 tour

... The divan features a fold-down armrest equipped with a slot that allows passengers to prop up tablets and smartphones. The Phenom is also equipped with high-speed Wifi so passengers can stream video.

phenom 300 tour

In total, the Phenom 300E can carry up to 10. However, our demonstrator is configured for eight passengers.

phenom 300 tour

Looking forward towards the front of the cabin is...

...A small galley with a cupboard and...

...Drinks cooler.

Hidden behind a set of sliding doors at the back of the cabin is a private bathroom complete with toilet, mirror, and...

phenom 300 tour

Shortly after climbing on board, I settled into my seat. The P&W turbofan engines quickly ushered us down the runway into New Jersey airspace. We head north before turning east towards the Connecticut coast.

phenom 300 tour

Here's the New York skyline in the distance. The flight proved to be smooth and the cabin remained comfortably quiet for the entire duration.

phenom 300 tour

Here's a nice view of Connecticut from the plane as we turn south to land in White Plains, New York.

phenom 300 tour

The Phenom 300E can fly as high as 45,000 feet. From take off until 27,050 feet of altitude, the Phenom's cabin is pressurized to mimic the conditions at sea level. Above that, it's pressurized to the equivalent of 6,600 feet. Most commercial airliners are pressurized to 8,000 feet while new carbon composite jets like the Boeing 787 Dreamliner and the Airbus A350 are pressurized to around 6,000 feet. 

But I was really blown away by the new cabin put in place by Embraer's interior design team led by company vice president Jay Beever. It's a great balance of style and functionality. There's also a ton of styling cues taken from the automotive world.

phenom 300 tour

After all, before working on jets, Beever spent his time at Ford's now-disbanded Premier Automotive Group which included brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover, Lincoln, and Volvo. Here he is last year during our test flight of the Legacy 500.

phenom 300 tour

A great example of Jay's commitment to style and functionality is the diamond stitch, multi-tone seat. They remind me of the last Bentley I drove. But, it's the fine details that really impress. Jay's team was able to widen the aisle by designing a trick carbon fiber fold-away armrest.

phenom 300 tour

Take a look at seat's handles. As you can see, there are leather accents that match the upholstery. However, what you can't see are the soft leather patches on the inside of the handles only your fingers will know are there. There's also a divider that keeps your fingers from getting jammed by the handle. Details!

phenom 300 tour

Here's another example of where style meets functionality. The cupholders are designed to look like Embraer had to drill through a layer of wood and a layer of metal just to install it. There's also a built-in slot for your smartphone.

phenom 300 tour

Jay also subscribes to the thinking that the rapid pace of technological development means it's best to hide the cabin tech so your plane doesn't look out of date a few years after you buy it. As a result, there's a stylish lid hiding...

phenom 300 tour

... This touchscreen that controls the cabin's tech features.

phenom 300 tour

Look up and you'll see a black tech panel running along the spine of the jet. When not in use, the panel goes dark and looks like a stylish strip of glass.

phenom 300 tour

In reality, it's hiding a pair of infotainment displays.

phenom 300 tour

There are also touch buttons that light up when you trigger proximity sensors.

phenom 300 tour

Up front, the Phenom 300E is equipped with a state-of-the-art Prodigy Touch Flight Deck running Garmin 3000 avionics. It's equipped with a trio of interchangeable 14.1-inch displays, a synthetic vision augmented reality system, and reactive wind shear alerting.

phenom 300 tour

Phenom 300E uses a traditional control yoke instead of the side stick found on the Legacy 500.

phenom 300 tour

Here are the pilots for our flight. You can actually do solo flights on the Phenom 300E. It's certified for single-pilot operation.

phenom 300 tour

According to Embraer, the Phenom 300E can cruise at speeds as high as 521 mph with a range of more than 2,200 miles.

phenom 300 tour

The Embraer Phenom 300E costs $9.45 million but, with custom features and optional extras, most customers end up paying closer to $10 million.

5 things you need to know about the embraer phenom 300e.

The Embraer 300E is a best-selling small private jet - with several things that set it apart.

  • The Embraer Phenom 300E is the latest upgrade in the Phenom light jet range, offering new engines, improved avionics, and an upgraded cabin design.
  • Equipped with market-leading avionics, the Phenom 300E features the Garmin G3000 avionics suite and a proprietary runway overrun awareness and alerting system, enhancing safety and efficiency in flight.
  • The Phenom 300E is the largest private jet that can be flown by one pilot, with certification for single-pilot operations and a capacity of up to 10 passengers. It is also the fastest and longest-range single-pilot jet in its category.

The Embraer Phenom 300E is an updated version of the popular Phenom 300. The Phenom 300 was introduced in 2009, largely as a response to demands for a larger jet than the Phenom 100. The updated 300E followed in 2018 with a further upgrade in 2020.

1 The Phenom 300E is the latest in upgrades to the Phenom light jet range

New engines and improved avionics lead the way.

The Phenom 300 was designed as an improvement over the smaller and earlier Phenom 100 . Embraer approached it as a clean-sheet design, but many features were kept (including the composite T-tail design, landing gear systems, and braking systems. Major upgrades included new engines, and wing and winglet re-designs.

The larger cabin also had a major redesign. The Phenom 300 offers a well-designed cabin with two pairs of facing seats with large tables, as well as another row of single seats and a separate bench/sofa.

The latest 2020 Phenom 300E takes improvements even further. Power is further upgraded with twin Pratt & Whitney Canada PW535E1 engines, and there are new avionics upgrades. The cabin is also regarded as quieter than many other jets.

2 It is equipped with market-leading avionics

The 300e has some of the latest equipment onboard.

The 300E uses the Garmin G3000 avionics suite. This is an upgrade from the Phenom 100 and Phenom 300. The cockpit features three large display screens with the Prodigy Touch system. These features are important in achieving its single pilot certification. This is state-of-the-art for this category of aircraft.

In addition, the aircraft is fitted with the proprietary runway overrun awareness and alerting system (ROAAS). This is an industry first (according to Embraer) and provides real-time crew alerts to reduce the risk of overrun during landing (with alerts if the approach is too steep or fast, for example).

3 It is the largest private jet that can be flown by one pilot

It can take up to 10 passengers.

The Phenom 300 and 300E are certified for single-pilot operations. The flight deck can accommodate two pilots, but it is designed to be flown by either one or two. This is, of course, standard with smaller general aviation aircraft, but larger jets are typically rated for two pilot operations. This is a big consideration for lowering the cost of operation or for owners wanting to fly themselves.

With a capacity of up to 10 (six passengers in standard business configuration), they are currently the largest private jets to have this certification.

Other smaller jets certified for single pilot operations include

  • Cirrus Vision Jet SF50
  • Eclipse 550

4 It is also the fastest and longest-range single-pilot jet

It cruises at mach 0.8 and has a range of 2010 nautical miles.

The Phenom 300 is not only the largest single-pilot certified jet , it is also the fastest and has the longest range. With the latest engines of the updated 300E model it can cruise at up to Mach 0.8. For comparison, the HondaJet (similarly certified for single pilot operations, but a slightly smaller jet) has a maximum cruise speed of 422 knots (Mach 0.63).

The Phenom 300’s quoted range is 2,010 nautical miles (3720 kilometers) - this is based on five occupants and flying at just short of Mach 0.70. Staying with the same comparison, the HondaJet offers a range of 1,437 nautical miles (2,661 kilometers).

5 It has been the most delivered light business jet for 11 years

It has consistently outperformed other jets of similar size.

In February 2023, the General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA) announced that the Phenom 300 was the best-selling light business jet for the year 2022. Embraer delivered 59 jets that year (including the 300 and the 300E). This took the total number delivered to over 700.

What is even more impressive is that the Phenom 300 has taken this accolade for 11 years in a row. Speaking at the time of the 2023 announcement, Michael Amalfitano, President & CEO of Embraer Executive Jets, said:

“For 11 consecutive years, it has continued its strong momentum in the market and outperformed for our loyal customers… This distinction is a true testament to Embraer’s ability to deliver the ultimate experience to its customers through truly innovative aircraft.”

Aircraft Details

Setting the bar for performance and comfort in the light jet category, Embraer launched the Phenom 300 Super Light Jet following the initial success of its little brother, the Phenom 100 Very Light Jet (VLJ).

The result is one of the most efficient, versatile and best selling business jets in business aviation; the Phenom 300 is the #1 most delivered business jet since 2013 according to the General Aviation Manufacturers Association — after earning its certification from the FAA in 2009, orders began to pour in for individuals and fractional programs, including an initial order of 50 by NetJets.

Although technically a small jet, it’s really in a class of its own, offering the cabin size, performance, range, and competitive pricing to compete with popular medium jets, including the Citation XL and LearJet 45. It also offers the largest baggage compartment of any light jet, as well as the best cabin pressurization in its class so you can enjoy the utmost comfort for productivity or relaxation.

embraer phenom 300 interior

The interior is offered in three configurations, with its standard layout offering six club seats, a private lavatory, climate control systems, and LED cabin lighting. Additional layouts include an additional seat or two-person sofa, along with a smaller on-board refreshment center for high-density flights holding up to 9 passengers.

There’s also and an abundance of baggage space — a total of 84 cubic feet is available, with 74 cubic feet in the front and back of the plane, and 10 cubic feet located within the galley and lavatory. The interior storage can accommodate up to 110 lbs of items, while external compartments are designed to hold up to 573 lbs. That’s enough to store 6 rolling suitcases, 6 carry-on bags, 6 smaller bags, plus either 6 sets of skis or 6 sets of golf clubs.

Powered by twin Pratt & Whitney Canada PW535E turbofans, the EMB-505 Phenom 300 offers plenty of thrust and performance while improving fuel consumption.

Its range is originally designed to operate within 1,800 nautical miles, but may be extended to 1,971 nm with 6 occupants and NBAA IFR reserves.  It’s also certified without restrictions, operates within Stage IV noise requirements, and is able to fly according to Visual or Instrumental Flight Rules, day or night, even into icy/frozen conditions.

Another highlight of this super light jet is its outstanding runway performance, reducing runway requirements without sacrificing payload – only 3,138 feet is required to depart at max take-off weight (MTOW), and a mere 2,621 feet is needed to land at max landing weight (MLW); that’s less than 1,000 meters of runway required when flying in Europe.

For flights to/from challenging airports due to temperature and elevation, the 300 exceeds operational requirements, able to achieve its maximum range and take off weight from Aspen, Colorado and high-elevation airports in Switzerland and Germany. From sea-level, it performs the climb to its maximum operating ceiling of 45,000 feet in just 26 minutes.

phenom 300 tour

The 300 also has distinct temperature zones for pilots and passengers, a wardrobe and refreshment center, voice and data communications options, and an entertainment system  to keep you relaxed and refreshed when you arrive.

Equipped with the latest avionics and technologies, the 300 also improves the situational awareness and safety of pilots. State-of-the-art safety features include the Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS II), the Terrain Awareness and Warning System (TAWS), the Engine Indicating and Crew Alerting System (EICAS), live weather feeds via satellite, and three 14.1” displays that are fully interchangeable.

The EMB 505 also carries exclusive cockpit features unique in its class: Flight Management System (FMS) with graphical flight planning capability; Synthetic Vision System (SVS); and Datalink via SATCOM.

Embraer Phenom 300 Embraer

June 2010 — Like every other aviation journalist, I've been watching the development of the Embraer Phenom 300 for a few years now, and the more I've learned about the emerging light jet, the more I've come to appreciate just what an innovative airplane it is. It is, in essence, Embraer's attempt to stretch the limits of the light jet segment by creating an airplane with best-in-class performance, comfort and utility while keeping operating costs at turboprop levels. And the airplane itself, which I'd seen but not flown, is a thing of beauty. Predictably, when I was asked if I wanted to go to Brazil to ferry the 300 up to the States, well … you can guess how long it took me to say "I'll be right down."

The bizjet world is relatively new to Embraer, which launched its executive jet program a few years back with the Legacy, a nicely reworked version of Embraer's ERJ 145 regional jet. The Legacy sold for a few million dollars less than comparable large-body jets and was a surprise hit.

One RJ conversion does not a bizjet program make, but it wasn't long before Embraer put its investment where its mouth was and launched a pair of clean-sheet airplanes, the Phenom 100 entry-level jet and the Phenom 300.

The 100 earned certification in late 2008; last year Embraer delivered more than 100 of the jets, that despite an economy that caused many cancellations. The airplane garnered rave reviews for its beefy design, predictable flying manners, very good entry-level performance and shockingly simple single-pilot operation.

The larger light jet, the Embraer Phenom 300, first flew in 2008. It earned certification late last year.

Much More Than a Stretched 100 The 300 does have many things in common with the 100, including the basic fuselage, the use of new-generation Pratt & Whitney Canada engines, the brilliant Garmin Prodigy flight deck and the same airliner-tough design philosophy.

When it was working on its design for the Phenom 300, Embraer was looking to go far beyond its success with the 100 by making the 300 a jet with very good speed and great climbing performance, a comfortable aisled cabin, excellent range and great operating economies and maintainability.

It has done all of that and a lot more.

Changes Inside and Out Embraer designers took the basic fuselage cross-section of the 100 and ran with it. They gave the 300 a longer fuselage, an all-new wing, powerful and quiet Pratt & Whitney Canada turbofan engines, a hefty fuel capacity and solid construction.

The moderately swept wing stands in contrast to the 100's straight-leading-edge design. In fact, the wing of the 300 looks for all the world like that of a large jet. Though not related to it, the 300's wing is reminiscent of the swept wing of the Legacy 600. In addition to the effective wing flaps, the 300 features fly-by-wire spoilers that act as speed brakes or as lift dump devices. When used as spoilers, they automatically lower when flaps are extended or when the airspeed drops below 110 knots indicated. When armed, they activate on landing with weight on wheels to dump the lift and help get the airplane slowed down. The 300 doesn't need much runway.

Anti-icing for the wing (and the horizontal tail and engine inlets — no boots here) is done with bleed air. Ice lights along the fuselage are standard, and there's an easy-to-interpret icing status page in the systems section of the Prodigy multifunction display.

When it came to selecting engines in this thrust category, Embraer had several options, including the Williams FJ44s used on the CJ4, but it went with the Pratts and couldn't be happier about that choice. The engines, PW535E models, are rated at 3,360 pounds of thrust apiece and are substantially quieter than the most stringent (Stage IV) noise requirements. And with the Phenom 300 meeting or exceeding every goal Embraer has set for it, from takeoff distance to high-speed cruise, the engines get much of the credit. They also sport an industry-leading TBO (tied with Williams FJ44-4As on the CJ4) of 5,000 hours, nearly a third better than some competitors.

Passenger Centered Design The fuselage/cabin of the 300 is stretched 14 inches — it seems like much more — from that of the 100. Both feature Embraer's Oval Lite cross-section shape that gives better legroom and headroom than does the competition. That said, the 300 is a light jet, so you won't mistake the cabin for that of a midsize jet — it has a center aisle, but with the Oval Lite concept, Embraer has cleverly maximized the comfort of the cabin. The airplane's full-size, minimalist-styled seats slide toward the center for additional room and recline almost fully for a very sleepable platform — something I tested thoroughly on one leg of our daylong trip. I will bring a pillow next time. Even the armrests retract, so you can get them out of the way when more room is needed.

The lavatory is another impressive feature. With an easy-to-operate, hard sliding door, a full-size potty and generous basin, the 300's lav is the best I've seen in a light jet. And for an airplane with nearly 2,000 nm of range, a nice lav is a big plus. Embraer is working on making the potty a certified seat and adding a side-facing couch up front as well, to increase the passenger capacity from seven to eight, not counting the copilot's seat.

At 66 cubic feet, the external rear baggage compartment is big enough to carry a reasonable number of bags for all of the passengers. And it accommodates larger items, like several golf bags, rollaway bags or pairs of skis. Up front there's an eight-cubic-foot forward baggage area, typically used to store the crew's bags.

Even the full-coverage airstair door is the best in the category. Instead of having a door that opens laterally and a ladder-type stairway that folds down, the door of the 300 is the ladder. Cables support the door, but customers can add an optional steel rail for an even more substantial feeling. Even in its standard configuration, the door is better than many that you'll see in many light midsize airplanes. At 29 inches across and 58 inches in height, the door makes it easier to get in and out while offering a kind of ramp appeal that, like many of the features on the 300, is typically associated with airplanes that cost much more.

It's all part of Embraer's goal of giving the 300 as big a feel as possible for a light jet. Part of this plan was the styling of the interior. Conceived jointly with renowned design house BMW Designworks, the interior is upscale and minimalist, using clean lines, muted colors and open space to give the feeling of a larger space. The biggest contributors to this impression are the windows, which are larger than those in nearly all midsize airplanes and nicely placed. Between every seat is a big oval window with a built-in shade.

There's a substantial galley up front — on our trip, which spanned two continents, we enjoyed breakfast, lunch and dinner from our stash in the galley. There's an ice bucket for storing drinks and keeping them cold and storage for wine and food and the trash that all those things create along the way.

Cost of Ownership The 300 is designed to last and to be more cost-effective to maintain along the way. It is designed for 28,000 cycles or 35,000 hours, which equals about 30 years of flying at 1,200 hours per year. A maintenance computer keeps track of the health of the airplane's systems and allows that data to be downloaded for fault identification or for trend analysis.

Carbon brakes are another feature that Embraer argues is a cost saver that might not seem like one right off the bat. The carbon brakes are 20 percent lighter, and they're immune to thermal distortion and locking up at high temperatures. And because they cool off more quickly, they offer a quicker turnaround time.

Another high-tech maintenance saver is the SmartProbe multifunction probe and air data computer that I guess could be referred to as a "probe-by-wire" device. There's no tubing that runs from it. It gets its data like any probe does but then does its calculations on board — yes, on board the probe — and then sends them digitally to the flight computer. The SmartProbe — there are, of course, two of them — is also used on the Falcon 7X and the very large Embraer Lineage. The digital probe eliminates the angle-of-attack sensor and does away with pressure checks too, not to mention simplifying maintenance in the unlikely event that something goes wrong with it.

Servicing the 300 will feel familiar to line personnel more accustomed to dealing with airliners than light jets. There's single-point fueling, which will top off empty tanks — around 800 gallons of fuel — in 12 minutes. The lav, too, is externally serviced.

More than half of Phenom customers are opting to cover their maintenance needs through company's multitiered Embraer Executive Care Program, which covers the cost of nearly every imaginable maintenance item and provides a high degree of cost certainty. Pratt & Whitney also offers maintenance programs for the engines on the 300.

Prodigy: Ultimate Expression of the G1000 Embraer took a bit of a risk when it decided a few years back to go with Garmin International to supply the integrated flight deck on the Phenom 300. Garmin had already shown its ability to do bizjet-level systems with its successful G1000 installation on the Cessna Citation Mustang, but it had never developed a system for any jet as fast, capable or complex as the Phenom 300.

Going in, Embraer was concerned that Garmin, known for its light-airplane expertise, might be a branding liability. This has proved not to be the case. In fact, one of Embraer's product specialists told me that quite the opposite was true, that the Garmin avionics suite has turned out to be a draw for many customers.

Embraer's version of G1000, called Prodigy, is the most impressive I've seen (and I've flown nearly every one), in large part because it greatly simplifies the management of the flight. The preflight list, for example, has very few checks and just a handful of action items. It will doubtless take longtime jet pilots a while to get over the feeling that they simply must be forgetting something. But they're not. Actions such as turning on the beacon, for example, are done automatically, since you always want to have the beacon on when you start up, right?

It's not just the procedures that are simplified. The entire cockpit is cleaned up, with far fewer switches, levers and buttons than seems possible in an airplane of this class. There are, for example, no master warning or master caution switches. All CAS messages are handled through the 12.4-inch Prodigy displays. And it works very well.

Embraer and Garmin pulled off this feat of simplicity by evaluating the necessity of everything in the cockpit and integrating or eliminating it if at all possible.

This doesn't mean that Prodigy eliminates sophistication. Quite the opposite is true. As I mentioned, it integrates a systems monitoring utility that makes it easy to flip through the various systems pages with a quick glance to see if everything is OK. If it's not, by the way, the built-in CAS system will let you know and ferret out the problem and record the event for the maintenance techs at the other end. And all of this, remember, is handled in the avionics suite. Another feature I love is the takeoff configuration button, which, with one push, makes a number of checks to ensure the airplane is properly configured for takeoff. It's easy to forget one in a long list of items. It's harder to forget a single button. That's simplicity and improved safety.

The autopilot is the staggeringly scalable GFC 700, and it has a number of features that give it remarkable powers, including something I haven't seen on other G1000-based systems — radio tuning capability. Located right below the multifunction display, the keypad makes it easy to enter data or make changes to a flight plan while looking at the MFD directly above it.

The autopilot controller is located, as it should be, directly above the displays. (The only other instrument occupying the space is the fully digital standby primary display.) In addition to the usual functions, the autoflight system in the Phenom 300 has airspeed control, which controls engine N1 to maintain a selected cruise speed for a given altitude.

There's also synthetic vision, XM Weather for North American-based airplanes and onboard vertical-scan color radar. The Phenom 300, it goes without saying, comes from the factory RVSM-approved.

Amazon Adventures and Beyond After spending a few days in São José dos Campos, I was ready for my flight in the Phenom 300, and this was going to be a special opportunity. The plan was to fly from Embraer headquarters in São José dos Campos (near São Paulo) to the Amazon city of Manaus, from there on to Montego Bay, Jamaica, and then to Houston, a trip that spans two continents, all in one day.

It was barely light on the ramp when I met my companions for the flight, Tarcisio Brandão and José Filiho. Both are instructor pilots with many thousands of hours of experience flying jets both big and small, though neither one of them had a ton of time in the 300.

That would change. After dropping me in Houston, they were scheduled to take the airplane on a demo tour, with stops after Texas in Salt Lake City, Teterboro, New Jersey, and South Florida, then go to Europe with the airplane for a couple of weeks before heading home to Brazil.

As I mentioned, the 300 is a single-pilot airplane, and as José, sitting in the right seat, talked me through the pre-start checklist — a very short talk, as I mentioned — he pointed out how everything is arranged to be easily reachable by the left seat pilot, though it's still possible, if less convenient, for the right-seater to fly it too. José demonstrated the pre-takeoff check button, which had nothing to complain about, and I started the taxi out to the active runway.

José handled the radios and made changes to the flight plan — just about all of the radio communications for the next several hours would be in Portuguese — and left the flying to me.

On the ground, the 300 feels like an airplane as big as it is. At our takeoff weight of 17,200 pounds, with full fuel, we had nearly 1,000 pounds of additional capacity. Control on the ground is easy, though the carbon brakes get plenty of work keeping the speed down to a minimum while taxiing.

The PW535Es are fadec engines, but they don't have detents. Instead, you set the power by lining up the levers with the bright white lines on the quadrant. The fadec synchronizes the engines for you. It's just one more single-pilot convenience, and at a critical phase of flight.

With a push of the takeoff/go-around button, we were ready to go. I advanced the throttles and off we went. Directional control was smooth, and I had no trouble keeping the centerline. Our V1 speed of 109 knots came quickly with rotation a blink of an eye after that. Gear up, flaps up. Initial rate of climb was eye-popping, around 4,000 fpm even at our relatively heavy weight. For climb you simply reduce power to the climb setting on the levers — it really is that easy — and watch as the airplane goes up. Going out I hand-flew, following the flight director to guide us on our way.

We were given a climb to 12,000 feet and then to 20,000 right off the bat with no intermediate level-offs. That rarely happens in the States. Soon thereafter, we were given a climb to 40,000 and then our final altitude of 43,000 feet. It took us just 20 minutes to get to FL 400 and another four minutes to reach 43,000. Up through 36,000 feet, we were still climbing at better than 1,500 fpm, and from there we maintained at least 1,200 fpm. For a light jet, the 300 is a strong climber.

I leveled the airplane off, reduced power to the long-range cruise setting of Mach .65 and looked at the numbers. At FL 430 we were doing 365 knots true, burning around 112 gph, or around 750 pounds per hour total. In smooth air and all by ourselves, we slipped past the capitol of Brasilia and cruised along toward our first stop, the Amazonian outpost of Manaus, where we needed to stop for customs even though we had the range to continue on to Venezuela. High-speed cruise is a lot faster, better than 450 knots, and with the nearly 2,000 nm range of the 300, that is a speed that many pilots will get to use when they fly shorter legs than we were flying that day.

The pressurization system on the 300 is another strong selling point. At its ceiling of 45,000 feet, the system can maintain a cabin altitude of 6,600 feet, nearly 1,500 feet lower than most airplanes at their ceiling. At FL 430, we were even a little lower than that.

As we got closer to Manaus, we began the descent, and the weather was looking promising. A storm had just passed the airport, and the ceiling and visibility were slightly above minimums. I loaded the approach and the autopilot began the descent. The vertical navigation (VNAV) functions on the GFC 700 make descent planning simple.

The spoilers help too. They can be deployed at up to 250 knots, and they make fast descents while keeping the airspeed under control a lot easier. They go away automatically when flaps are deployed, so there's no fear of forgetting to stow them when the time comes to land.

The ATIS was calling it 400 overcast and two miles of visibility, and as I flew the approach we could see bits of ground flash by below. The autopilot intercepted the localizer and soon we were on our way down. At 500 feet agl, I switched off the autopilot and hand-flew the rest of the way. We broke out at 400 feet, and sitting there before us was Manaus, a storm having just passed through, steam rising from the drenched black asphalt and virga drifting by along the surface. Pretty.

Our approach speed was 109 knots, and I found it easy to maintain Vref within a knot or two. I had been tutored by José on the landing technique, which is, somewhat surprisingly, very similar to that used in the Phenom 100. With the speed stabilized, the airplane is already in the landing attitude, so you just continue the approach and let it land. I made just two landings — it was a ferry flight, not a flight evaluation — but both felt great.

phenom 300 tour

The one thing that takes some getting used to is the brakes, and again José had great advice. The brake-by-wire design makes it easy to get stopped quickly, but you can't pump them to even out the pressure. You need, instead, to keep pressure on the one pedal while you add pressure to the other, finding that perfect balance. Whereas my stop after landing in the Phenom 100 two days earlier would have gotten me pulled over for weaving had I been cruising on I-35, I was able to keep the 300 on or very near the centerline as we got down and stopped in Manaus.

On the ground in Manaus, the single-point refueling would have come in very handy for a quick turnaround, had customs' computers not been down. I used my time, nearly two hours of it, to take some notes and snap some photographs. My Amazon adventure consisted, sadly, of those two hours spent on the ramp in Manaus. I must go back someday.

Once we were finally released by customs, we headed out. On leg two, I was riding in back and got a full appreciation of the amenities, including, as I mentioned, the fully reclining seats. There are also work desks, optional satellite communications (our airplane had an Iridium phone), great lighting options, dual-zone climate control (a lifesaver at FL 430), cup holders galore and entertainment jacks. On the way from Manaus to Montego Bay, Jamaica, I napped a bit, wrote an online column, went over my notes for this story and read. It was productive time all around, something that can seldom be said for airline flying.

After another long delay in Montego Bay, we launched for our final destination of the day, Houston. The airline pilots were complaining about the ride and the wind below us, but at 430 it was smooth and clear. The wind, however, was howling. At one point it was better than 100 knots right on the nose. We'd get there, and Customs was apparently open 24/7 at Hobby Airport.

We crossed over Cuban airspace, switched to Yucatan Center and watched the sun set behind the curve of the Mexican horizon, Venus shining like a 747's landing light in the night sky above. We descended over the Gulf of Mexico, the lights of the oil rigs far below, and made our way for Houston.

Excited to be back home, or darned close to it, at least, I hand-flew the visual arrival into Hobby. The dark night was gorgeous, and the lights of the city were sparkling. The airplane, as I'd previously discovered, is a pleasure to fly: smooth, beautifully harmonized and nicely responsive. Coming in to Runway 12R, the 10- or 12-knot crosswind proved no factor, and I had the airplane down and slowed so soon that I had to let it roll out a bit to expedite down to the taxiway that would take us to Customs and, sadly, yet another wait.

It was nearly midnight, but we'd covered 5,000 nm. And along the way I got to know the Embraer Phenom 300 quite well. It really is the ultimate expression of the light jet segment, with best-in-class performance and outstanding comfort and utility, while offering single-pilot ease of flight and airline style maintainability. And it truly is a joy to fly.

The Phenom 300 goes for around $8.5 million nicely equipped.

What Is The Maximum Range Of The Embraer Phenom 300?

  • Embraer is a major aerospace company known for commercial and private aviation
  • Phenom 300 is a top-selling light business jet with an impressive range of up to 2,010 nautical miles.
  • Phenom 300 features an advanced design, including an aluminum alloy frame and Pratt & Whitney engines.

Embraer is one of the most recognizable aerospace companies in the world. It is the third-largest aircraft producer in the world, trailing only Boeing and Airbus. The São Paulo, Brazil-based company is most known for its presence in the commercial aviation market. Previously, Embraer manufactured the Embraer Regional Jet family, also known as the ERJ. This aircraft was used as a regional airliner, as it fits between 37 and 50 passengers. Currently, Embraer manufactures both the E-Jet family and the E-Jet E2 family of aircraft. These are also regional airliners, although much larger than the ERJ family , as the smallest E-Jet fits 66 passengers, and the largest E-Jet E2 can fit 146 passengers.

Embraer also has a large presence as a defense contractor. Historically, the company has produced the EMB 111 Bandeirante and the EMB 312 Tucano. Currently, Embraer manufactures the EMB 314 Super Tucano, the C-390 Millennium, and the R-99.

Upgraded Legacy: A Look At The Embraer Praetor 600

However, Embraer also has a strong presence in the private aviation market. It currently produces the Praetor 500 and Praetor 600, which were upgrades from the Legacy 450 and the Legacy 500. The company's most notable business jets , however, fall under the Phenom family of aircraft. The Phenom 100 is a very light business jet with over 400 currently in service. The Phenom 300 , a light business jet , has over 700 in operation. This aircraft has been the world's best-selling light business jet for the last twelve years . In 2023, the Phenom 300 also became the most-used private jet in the United States. It narrowly beat out the Cessna Citation Excel and broke the Citation Excel's streak of 15 consecutive years as the most-used private jet. Let's take a closer look at this unique business jet and, more specifically, how far this aircraft can fly.

Brief history of the Phenom 300

Embraer began developing the Phenom 300 in the early 2000s. While in the process of developing the smaller Phenom 100, market research concluded that there may be a market for a larger version of this business jet. Initially, Embraer just wanted to stretch the fuselage of the Phenom 100. However, after the early design process, Embraer decided to treat the development of the aircraft as a clean-sheet design.

The program was officially launched in 2004. The first Phenom 300 conducted its maiden flight in April 2008, which launched the flight testing process. Over 1,400 hours of flight tests were flown during this process. However, in December 2009, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded Embraer the Phenom 300 type certificate and deliveries of the aircraft began that same month.

Since then, Embraer has launched an upgraded variant of the Phenom 300. This variant is designated as the Phenom 300E and was introduced in January 2020. This aircraft included changes that increased its top speed and increased its maximum range. It was officially certified by the FAA, the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), and Brazil's National Civil Aviation Agency (ANCA) in March 2020.

Notable design features

As previously mentioned, the Phenom 300 was initially meant to be a lengthened version of the Phenom 100. However, Embraer decided to move forward with the project as a clean-sheet design. Embraer opted for an airframe structure comprised of mostly aluminum alloys and composite materials. This structure is stronger than what was used on the Phenom 100, which allows the aircraft to reach higher altitudes.

The Phenom 300 utilizes two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW535E turbofan engines. These provide nearly 3,500 pounds of thrust each. The aircraft utilizes anti-skid brakes instead of thrust reversers. The Phenom 300 also uses a larger horizontal stabilizer in a T-tail configuration. This stabilizer allows the pilots to set various trim positions based on the runway from which the aircraft is departing. Other flight controls are operated by electrical actuation.

Inside the aircraft, the Phenom 300 can fit up to ten passengers. However, this requires one passenger to sit in the cockpit and one passenger to sit in the belted lavatory. A typical configuration fits eight passengers. The cabin has the following dimensions:

  • Cabin length: 17.2 feet
  • Cabin width: 5.1 feet
  • Cabin height: 4.9 feet

Inside the cockpit, the aircraft is fitted with the Embraer Prodigy Touch avionics system. This system, which is based on the Garmin G3000 system, uses three large displays and a traditional yoke system. This avionics suite also utilizes a synthetic vision system and a runway overrun awareness and alerting system.

Range and other performance specifications

One of the Phenom 300's most significant features is its long range. The aircraft can reach a maximum range of 2,010 nautical miles (2,313 miles). This is one of the furthest ranges in the light business jet class, although the Pilatus PC-24 can reach just 30 nautical miles (35 miles) more.

Beyond the aircraft's impressive range, the Phenom 300 has the following performance measures.

The Phenom 300 also achieves impressive performance measures while maintaining the ability to land and take off on shorter runways. The aircraft can take off on runways that are just 3,210 feet long and land on runways that are just 2,210 feet long. The Phenom 300 is also certified for steep approaches, meaning it can land on runways for small commuter airports.

This week features rivalries renewed on both coasts, Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani looking to continue their respective home run binges and Paul Skenes facing one of the hottest lineups in baseball.

It promises to be an exciting seven days with marquee matchups, and there are sure to be some unforgettable moments.

Here's a look at five series to watch this week:

Guardians at Orioles 3 games (Monday-Wednesday)

Head-to-head: These two clubs will meet for the first time this season in what could very well be a postseason preview. Cleveland took four of seven games against Baltimore in 2023.

Storyline: The Guardians, under first-year manager Stephen Vogt, have been a surprise division leader in the American League Central. Entering the week with the best winning percentage (.653) in the league, Cleveland is once again led by perennial All-Star and MVP candidate José Ramírez, who has an .857 OPS with 19 homers and 67 RBIs on the season. The O’s, of course, have been on the rise for a couple of years now, and Baltimore is looking to take the next step following their first postseason appearance in seven years last fall. Led by catcher Adley Rutschman and shortstop Gunnar Henderson, the Orioles are keeping the heat on the division-leading Yankees, just 1.5 games behind New York in the AL East.

What to watch for: MLB Pipeline’s No. 21 overall prospect , outfielder Heston Kjerstad, is reportedly being called up for his third Major League stint prior to the series opener against the Guardians on Monday. Kjerstad was sizzling at the plate with Triple-A Norfolk, hitting .300/.397/.601 with 14 doubles, a triple, 16 home runs and 58 RBIs in 56 games. With Baltimore’s bats cooling off during a three-game sweep by the Astros in Houston, Kjerstad may provide a boost as they return home to face Cleveland.

Rangers at Brewers 3 games (Monday-Wednesday)

Head-to-head: The Brewers swept the three games between these clubs at Globe Life Field from Aug. 18-20. All-time, the teams have met 352 times (the majority of those games took place when both clubs were in the AL), with Milwaukee winning 191 of those contests and Texas winning 161.

Storyline: The defending World Series champs have had to grind through the first half of the 2024 campaign without a fully healthy pitching staff and with some key position players like Josh Jung and Evan Carter missing time due to injury as well. But Texas has won four straight entering their three-game set at American Family Field against Milwaukee, with Max Scherzer making a successful return on Sunday and Jacob deGrom (Tommy John surgery) expected back after the All-Star break. The Brewers, meanwhile, have inverted their blueprint from the past several years under first-year manager Pat Murphy -- for a club that had consistently relied on excellent pitching and just enough hitting, Milwaukee is now getting more offensive production to stay atop the NL Central despite trading Corbin Burnes to Baltimore and with Brandon Woodruff and Devin Williams sidelined.

What to watch for: Wyatt Langford has been a different hitter since returning from the injured list in late May. In the month of June, his OPS is nearly .900 and he’s raised his season OPS by nearly 100 points. He launched his first career grand slam on Saturday against the Royals, and over his last five games, he’s hitting .421 (8-for-19) with three doubles and two homers. A preseason Rookie of the Year candidate, Langford got off to a slow start in his first taste of the Majors after breaking camp with the Rangers last spring. But he may be turning that around.

Yankees at Mets 2 games (Tuesday-Wednesday)

Head-to-head: The 2024 Subway Series will begin on Tuesday at Citi Field after the Mets and Yankees split four games against each other last year.

Storyline: These two clubs meet at an interesting time given their overall season trajectories and their recent performance. The Yankees have the most wins in baseball and have been infused with a jolt of energy through the acquisition of Juan Soto, who along with Judge are twin AL MVP candidates through the first half of the season. But the Bronx Bombers have lost three consecutive series and also slugger Giancarlo Stanton to a hamstring injury . Meanwhile, the Mets, who have foundered for much of the season, are an MLB-best 13-6 in June after taking two of three from the Cubs at Wrigley over the weekend.

What to watch for: Judge. The most feared home run hitter in the game has an OPS north of 1.300 this month and has an MLB-leading 28 home runs and 70 RBIs on the season. And he’s done that despite a slow first month -- on May 1, he was hitting .207/.340/.414. Judge is must-see TV virtually every time he steps to the plate, but especially now with the run he’s been on.

Pirates at Braves 3 games (Friday-Sunday)

Head-to-head: The Pirates took two of three from the Braves in Atlanta from May 24-26. Last season, the Braves took four of seven from Pittsburgh.

Storyline: Don’t look now, but the Braves have won eight of their last 10 games and just took two of three from the Yankees in the Bronx over the weekend. Atlanta has been dealt a lot of adversity so far in 2024, losing flamethrowing right-hander Spencer Strider and reigning NL MVP Ronald Acuña Jr. for the season due to injury. But a slumbering offense has awakened, with Matt Olson, Austin Riley, Ozzie Albies, Sean Murphy and newcomer Jarred Kelenic finding their power stroke recently. The Bucs, meanwhile, haven’t been able to put together a consistent stretch of winning baseball, but with their one-two rookie punch of Paul Skenes and Jared Jones atop the rotation, and a red-hot Bryan Reynolds at the plate, that could change.

What to watch for: Skenes. The rookie phenom with a 102 mph fastball wowed again on Sunday against the Rays, and through his first eight Major League starts, the big right-hander has a 2.14 ERA with 61 strikeouts and only eight walks in 46 1/3 innings. Skenes against anyone is appointment viewing, but with the Braves swinging the bats the way they are, this could be a tremendous matchup.

Dodgers at Giants 3 games (Friday-Sunday)

Head-to-head: The Dodgers have dominated the season series between these ancient rivals, winning five of the first six games between the clubs.

Storyline: The Dodgers have a comfortable lead in the NL West, and it’s certainly no time to be overly concerned, but with both Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Walker Buehler sidelined with injury, not to mention superstar shortstop Mookie Betts, the situation could cause some uneasiness among the Dodger faithful. Still, Tyler Glasnow continues to overwhelm opposing hitters and Ohtani is … well, doing Ohtani things -- over his last seven games, he’s smashed four home runs with projected distances greater than 450 feet. The Giants have lost five straight and seven of their last nine following a sweep by the Cardinals in St. Louis over the weekend.

What to watch for: What will Ohtani do next? If it seems like you’ve heard that question before, it’s because you have. Ohtani just continues to amaze even when you think he couldn’t possibly be any more spectacular. In his last seven games, Ohtani hasn’t just launched four homers over 450 feet, he’s belted six homers overall with a 1.848 OPS. McCovey Cove could be busy this weekend the way Shohei is swinging the bat.
