With accumulated flight time approaching 10,000 hours, some 350 pilots have been trained to fly Embraer’s new Phenom 100 very light jet, more than 100 of which have been delivered, including around 30 to Europe. The Brazilian airframer’s backlog includes 600-plus Phenom 100s and the larger Phenom 300 light jets. This stretches planned production to early 2013, but delivery deferrals and cancellations have released an undisclosed number of earlier delivery slots.

Embraer CAE training services (ECTS) has been established to provide Phenom pilots and maintenance technicians with computer- and Web-based instruction, interactive classrooms, cockpit procedures and avionics trainers, and electronic-motion full-flight simulation. Courses involve pre-training and copious avionics content to familiarize students with the Phenom before they undertake expensive simulator training, said Simon Newitt, director of Embraer customer training (ECT).
