"Jet Charter, in a PHENOM 100"

The Embraer EMB-500 Phenom 100 is a very light jet developed by Brazilian aircraft manufacturer Embraer.


It has been type certificated as the Embraer EMB-500, with 300 units delivered by 2014.

The Phenom 100 has a capacity for four passengers in its normal configuration.


It can carry up to seven passengers with a single crew, with optional side facing seat and belted toilet.


The cabin interior is designed by BMW DesignworksUSA. It has a maximum flying range of 1,178 nm with four occupants and NBAA IFR Reserves.


The first aircraft was delivered in December 2008, when price was US$ 3.6 million, while price was $4.5 million in 2015.


It has an oval fuselage with a 7.985 m³ passenger cabin, a 1.47m-high by 0.74m-wide (4.5'x2.1') door and 1.2'x1' windows, and an unpressurized 1.70 m³ (60ft3) cargo hold.


Its structural life is 28,000 flight cycles or 35,000 hours, built of 20% composite materials.


A Phenom 100 may cost around US $2-3/mile to operate, whereas the G650 and similar may cost $5–6.


The aircraft is fitted with two rear-mounted Pratt & Whitney Canada PW617-F turbofan engines rated at a take-off thrust of 7.2 kN (1,695 lb) to ISA+10.

The engines have dual full authority digital engine control. An automatic performance reserve feature boosts engine output to 1,777 lb in the event of engine failure on take-off.


It seems like longer than a few years ago that Embraer earned certification for its Phenom 100 entry-level jet, which had been announced just a few years earlier.


Two companies that were inspired to build new sub-10,000-pound airplanes, Embraer and Cessna, both rejected the VLJ label, claiming their new entry-level jets.


The Phenom 100 and Mustang, respectively, were simply new Part 23 models and not an attempt to create any kind of new category.


It’s clear in hindsight their approach was conservative and largely conventional.

Both airplanes are no-compromise jets that just happen to be at the light end of the spectrum.


And despite a challenging market, both airplanes have enjoyed strong sales over their still short histories.


While Cessna was, at the launch of the Mustang, a longtime light jet manufacturer, the Phenom 100 broke new ground for Embraer.


It was, indeed, a remarkable achievement. Even though it’s been only a few years since the 100’s entry into service.


Many people have forgotten that the jet was the Brazilian airline maker’s first foray into a purpose-built biz jet.


The company is no newcomer to turbines. It’s been building airliners for decades and pioneered, along with Bombardier, the regional jet concept.

Its first biz jets were derivatives of its airliners.The large-cabin Legacy 600 was fast, roomy and priced right.


The airplane is a wonder, a high-tech entry-level rocket ship with a large, light-filled and comfortable cabin along with plenty of range, good speed and a ramp presence.
