SÃO PAULO - The Embraer Phenom 300EV has achieved type certification from three primary aviation governing bodies, including Brazil's National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC), the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in the United States, and the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).
This regulatory approval clears the updated model for commercial operation across major international markets and establishes it as the first light jet certified to feature Garmin Emergency Autoland technology. The system engages manually or automatically to navigate and land the aircraft autonomously if a pilot becomes incapacitated.
To support the upgraded avionics, which also incorporate a rudder-by-wire system and automated braking capabilities, the aircraft uses a proprietary Multi-Purpose Electronic Controller (MEC) intended to manage electronic flight systems and streamline maintenance procedures. Beyond safety enhancements, the updated design offers increases to flight range and total payload capacity, bringing the total range to 2,055 nautical miles under standard NBAA IFR reserves. Interior updates include enhanced satellite connectivity, improved cabin climate management, and modified interior amenities, with initial customer deliveries planned to begin in 2028.
