Embraer Phenom 300

2006 During the early 2000s, Embraer was in the process of designing the Phenom 100 light business jet; while conducting market research, it was discovered that numerous potential customers were expressing a desire for an enlarged model of the aircraft. On 3 December 2009, the Phenom 300 received its type certification from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). On 29 December 2009, Embraer delivered the first Phenom 300 to Executive Flight Services at the company's headquarters at São José dos Campos, Brazil. On 31 January 2020, Embraer announced that it was implementing a package of upgrades to the Phenom 300; resulting changes included the maximum speed being increased from Mach 0.78 to 0.80 (), expanded endurance from , and the rated engine thrust being raised from via the adoption of improved PW535E1 turbofan engines. == Design ==

based flight deck The Phenom 300 is a twin-engined cantilever monoplane with low-positioned swept wings. It is powered by a pair of Pratt & Whitney Canada PW535E turbofan engines that are mounted at the rear of the fuselage on pylons. The structure, which comprises 18% composite materials, has a rate lifespan of 28,000 flight cycles or 35,000 flight hours; it is considerably stronger than that of the Phenom 100 in part due to the aircraft's higher operating altitude. Various avionics improvements have led to new functionality being added to later-built aircraft, such as predictive wind shear awareness, stabilized approach, emergency descent mode (in event of cabin depressurisation) and an in-house runway overrun awareness and alerting system (ROAAS). == Variants ==

In 2013, the Phenom 300 was the most delivered business jet, with 60 units. It also led the industry in deliveries in 2014 and 2015. After July 2016, all Phenom assembly was transferred to the Melbourne, Florida line, which has the capability to assemble 96 Phenoms and 72 Embraer Legacy 450/Embraer Legacy 500s annually. More than 170 Phenom jets had been produced at the site by June 2016, mainly for the US market. In March 2019, Embraer delivered the 500th Phenom 300, claiming more than half of the light jet market share since 2012; at the time it was being used in over 30 countries and had cumulative carried 2.5 million passengers across 600,000 flights and 800,000 hours. As of February 2023 700 units have been delivered. == Accidents and incidents ==

As of January 2023, the Phenom 300 has been involved in three hull-loss accidents causing five fatalities. • On 10 January 2011, a Phenom 300 operated by the Royal Oman Police registered as A4O-CY made an emergency landing on Muscat International Airport with the right-main landing gear indication not down and locked position, shortly after landing the right main-gear collapsed and subsequently the aircraft banked to the right which caused the right-wing tip to come into contact with the runway surface. All 8 occupants on board survived. • On 31 July 2015, a Phenom 300, aircraft registration HZ-IBN, crashed into a car park whilst trying to land at Blackbushe Airport in Hampshire. All four persons on board the Saudi-registered private jet died in the crash and subsequent fire. • On 2 January 2023, Phenom 300 N555NR crashed shortly after takeoff on the grounds of Provo Municipal Airport in Utah. The pilot was killed, one passenger was critically injured, and the two other passengers received minor injuries. On April 24, 2025, the NTSB released the final report on the incident, citing icing conditions present at the time, along with the crew's failure to use available deicing resources, activate onboard anti-icing equipment, and perform the visual inspection of the flight surfaces mandated under the weather conditions as the probable cause of the accident. This led to a nearly immediate aerodynamic stall and left roll on takeoff ending in the uncontrolled impact with the terrain. == Specifications (Phenom 300E) ==
