: 3 February 2020: Embraer's Phenom 300 series has made some enhancements in performance, comfort and technology. The Phenom 300E is currently the first single-pilot jet to reach Mach 0.80, providing a quieter cabin and upgrades to its avionics that consists of predictive windshear and a runway overrun awareness and alerting system, Embraer exclusive intellectual property and the first technology of its kind to be developed and certified in business aviation.
The Phenom 300E also has more speed to deliver the best performance in the category.
The aircraft is the first single-pilot jet to touch Mach 0.80 which makes it the fastest and longest-ranged single-pilot jet in business aviation even faster. The Phenom 300E delivers a high-speed cruise of 464 knots and a five-occupant range of 2,010 nautical miles (3,724 km) with NBAA IFR reserves with the help of the new enhancements.
The Phenom 300E now has even more quieter cabin, pilot and co-pilot seat tracking that's close to 40 per cent more, thus offering more legroom in the cockpit and a brand-new premium interior option, known as Bossa Nova. The noise-reduction improvements lower overall in-flight cabin noise, high-frequency noise and significantly reduce noise during boarding.
The Phenom 300E has received an avionics upgrade to include a runway overrun awareness and alerting system, predictive windshear, Emergency Descent Mode, PERF, TOLD, FAA Datacom and many others. The runway overrun awareness and alerting system acts as an additional pilot and warns if the aircraft's approach is too steep or too fast, increasing situational awareness. Embraer has patented this technology and is the first OEM in business aviation to develop and certify it. New predictive windshear cautions pilots about windshear conditions in advance to help them prepare and maneuver the airplane in order to best minimise adverse conditions. Also, the Phenom 300E now comes with a 4G connection via Gogo AVANCE L5.
"Despite the Phenom 300's extraordinary success in the past decade, our team of visionaries is always striving to deliver the ultimate experience to our customers, which means taking an industry-leading aircraft and making it even better, faster and safer," said Michael Amalfitano, President & CEO, Embraer Executive Jets. "Boundless imagination and intelligent engineering gave birth to the Phenom 300E, and it is with that same spirit that we continue enhancing the most popular business jet of the decade."
