Embraer Phenom 300 Gains US FAA Certification
As of yesterday afternoon Embraer’s Phenom 300 gained full certification by the United States Federal Aviation Administration. This follows the Brazilian’s counterpart to the FAA – ANAC certification that happened a short two weeks ago.
I posted some of the basic performance numbers on December 8 when I said that I believe this aircraft will be a game changer for the charter industry over the next few years. Excellent performance, low operating costs and hopfefully the reliability that Embraer has been able to achieve in the airline world will make this aircraft an industry work horse for a long time to come.
Two, clean sheet design, new generation jets (Phenom 100 and Phenom 300) certified, in production and being delivered in the past 13 months is a pretty good launch into the world business jet market.
Congratulations to Embraer on US Certification of the Phenom 300!

Absolutely amazing that with all the trouble in the Aviation industry, Embrarer has been able to certifly two aircraft in record time. Both these airplanes (the 100 and 300) should give all the American manufacturers a lot of pause. The 300 especially has the ability to replace so many current fleets in the light and medium jet category.
I am looking forward to seeing it on many ramps in the United States very soon.
