Late yesterday, Embraer simultaneously received the type and production certificates for its Phenom 300 from Brazil’s civil aviation authority, Agência Nacional de Aviação Civil (ANAC). The type approval is for both VFR and IFR operations, as well as flight into known icing conditions. FAA type approval is expected “in the coming weeks,” the São José dos Campos, Brazil-based aircraft manufacturer said.

“When we launched the Phenom 300 program [in May 2005], we wanted to bring an unparalleled product into the light jet category,” said Embraer executive vice president of executive jets Luís Carlos Affonso. “The Phenom 300 has not only met all original specification targets, but has also surpassed many performance goals.”
