Pilot Report: Phenom 100

Brazilian aircraft maker Embraer is a relative newcomer to the business aviation market. Five years ago the company was best known for producing many regional jets and its only business airplane was the Legacy, a corporate version of the ERJ 135.

In 2005 Embraer decided to build a line of smaller jets–including the “entry-level” Phenom 100–to compete with Cessna and Eclipse Aviation, which a number of observers viewed as a major misstep.
