About the Embraer Phenom 300

Type certificated 2009 Source: FAA Type Certificate Data Sheet

Overview

The Embraer Phenom 300 (EMB-505) is the best-selling light jet of the past decade, certified in 2009 and refined into the current Phenom 300E. A clean-sheet design, it bridges the very-light-jet and midsize-cabin classes: two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW535E turbofans, a 45,000 ft ceiling, a 464-ktas cruise (Mach 0.80), and 2,010 nm of range, all flown single-pilot behind the Garmin G3000 “Prodigy Touch” deck. The “Oval Lite” cabin cross-section gives more head and shoulder room than rival light jets like the Citation CJ-series.

The Phenom 300 is the default light jet for owner-operators and small flight departments running 1,000 to 2,000 nm legs who want jet speed, a full cabin, and resale values that hold better than most of the class. The trade is price and availability: new 300Es run past $12M and the used market stays tight. Cross-shopped against the Cessna Citation CJ3 and CJ4 it answers with cabin and avionics, and against the Pilatus PC-24 it trades that twin-jet’s rough-field and large-cargo-door versatility for more speed and a lower cost per mile.

Key Features for GA Buyers

Speed and range. Embraer positions the 300E as the fastest and longest-range single-pilot jet in production, on a Mach 0.80 cruise and 2,010 nm of NBAA IFR range.
Single-pilot Garmin G3000. The Prodigy Touch flight deck with synoptic system views and ROAAS runway-overrun alerting supports single-pilot workload from taxi to shutdown.
Cabin and baggage. The Oval Lite cross-section and 84 cu ft of baggage, with a 9.4 psi differential holding a 6,600 ft cabin altitude at FL450.

Trade-offs

Price and availability. A new 300E can exceed $12M and the used market stays tight with strong resale; you pay the best-seller premium.
Payload versus range. It seats up to 11, but a full cabin trims fuel to roughly 1,100 to 1,200 nm legs; the 2,010 nm figure assumes a lighter load.
