Embraer Phenom 100 Overview (2008-Present)

Product Overview

The Phenom 100 is a very light twin-engine jet that is produced by Embraer. It was developed from scratch as Embraer’s first Light jet. Embraer’s larger aircraft models have automated and simplified systems, rugged construction, and the ability to fix failures quickly when they do occur. These features are designed into the Phenom as well. The Phenom 100 is approved for single pilot flight.

As of April 2017, 44% of Phenom 100 aircraft in operation were purchased pre-owned by their current owners, the other 56% new. 12.1% are for sale with the majority of those (78%) under an exclusive broker agreement. When for sale, the average time on the market is 229 days.

Brief History

In 2005 Embraer announced that it would begin development of Light Jets and at the NBAA annual convention in November 2005 Embraer announced that the light jet would be called the Phenom 100. The Phenom 100 first flew on July 26, 2007. It was awarded a type certificate from Brazil’s National Civil Aviation Authority on December 9, 2008 and the first aircraft was delivered days later on December 24, 2008. A total of 355 Phenom 100 aircraft have been manufactured with 338 in operation today.
