Embraer last month received type certification for its Phenom 300 from both Brazil’s civil aviation authority, Agência Nacional de Aviação Civil (ANAC), and the FAA. It also received production certification for the type from ANAC. The type approval is for VFR and IFR operations, as well as flight into known icing conditions, according to the São José dos Campos, Brazil-based aircraft manufacturer.

“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 v-p of executive jets Luís Carlos Affonso. “The Phenom 300 has not only met all original specification targets, but has also surpassed many performance goals.”
