The Jet Met Or Exceeded All Specification Targets
Embraer’s Phenom 100 entry level executive jet received
its type certificate last month from Australia’s Civil
Aviation Safety Authority (CASA). This certification joins the
Phenom 100’s approval by the FAA and Brazil’s National
Civil Aviation Authority (ANAC) in December 2008, and the European
Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), in April 2009.
“It is with great satisfaction that we announce the
certification of this outstanding aircraft, reinforcing
Embraer’s commitment to the Australian market,” said
José Eduardo Costas, Embraer Vice President, Marketing and
Sales, Asia Pacific – Executive Jets. “Our customers
will have the convenience of being able to register their Phenom
100s in Australia.”
Back in 2005, Embraer promised to design and build a
revolutionary jet with premium comfort, outstanding performance,
docile flying qualities, and low operating cost. The Phenom 100 not
only met all original specification targets, but also surpassed
several performance goals, including a maximum cruising speed of
390 knots (True Air Speed – KTAS), 10 knots faster than
promised, and fuel consumption up to 3.6% better than initial
estimates. External noise levels present a 33 EPNdB (Effective
Perceived Noise in Decibels) margin over the International Civil
Aviation Organization (ICAO) stage IV requirements. The long
interval between scheduled maintenance – 600 FH (Flight
Hours) or 12 months – gives the Phenom 100 a substantial
advantage over competitors by requiring only five scheduled
maintenance stops in five years. Takeoff and climb
performance is also better than expected.
Currently, more than 800 aircraft from the Phenom family, which
also includes the Phenom 300 light jet, are on order,
worldwide.
