Michael Amalfitano, president and CEO of Embraer Executive Jets, frames the Phenom 300EV as meaningful innovation that enhances safety, performance, intuitiveness, and the customer experience.
Embraer has unveiled the Phenom 300EV, the latest upgrade to its best-selling light business jet. The new model brings Garmin Emergency Autoland, longer range, and a bigger payload — making it the most capable Phenom yet, according to AVweb.
The jet's range grows to 2,055 nautical miles. Payload rises by about 430 pounds. Deliveries are set to begin in 2028, AeroTime reported.
Emergency Autoland Makes the Phenom 300EV Unique
Embraer says the Phenom 300EV is the largest business jet equipped with Garmin Emergency Autoland. The system can take over and land the plane automatically if the pilot is unable to fly. It can activate on its own or be triggered manually by a passenger, according to AVweb.
The jet also gains an Emergency Descent Mode and Autothrottle through an upgraded Garmin G3000 Prodigy Touch avionics suite. Other new features include 3D Taxiway Routing, Runway Occupancy Awareness, and Synthetic Vision. Together, these tools cut pilot workload and sharpen situational awareness, AeroTime reported.
Embraer Builds Its Own Electronic Controller for the Jet
Embraer designed a new system called the Multi-Purpose Electronic Controller, or MEC. It bundles rudder-by-wire and other electronically controlled functions into one unit. The plane also adds a new autobrake system to help pilots stop more safely and with less effort, according to Market Screener.
The Phenom 300EV also swaps in True Blue Power lithium-ion batteries and adds full LED lighting. These changes reduce weight and improve reliability. Runway Overrun Awareness and Alerting System and an inertial reference system round out the safety upgrades, GuruFocus noted.
Cabin Gets New Connectivity and Comfort Upgrades
The Phenom 300EV will offer low Earth orbit satellite internet from day one through Gogo Galileo. Starlink will follow later via a separate certification. Both options give passengers fast, reliable in-flight connectivity, AVweb reported.
Inside, the cabin gets a redesigned refreshment center and better temperature control. A vacuum lavatory is also new. These changes aim to make long flights more comfortable for passengers and easier to manage for pilots flying solo.
Embraer Frames the 300EV as More Than an Incremental Update
Michael Amalfitano, president and CEO of Embraer Executive Jets, called the Phenom 300EV meaningful innovation. He said it improves safety, performance, and the overall customer experience. Embraer has followed a pattern of steady upgrades across its lineup — the 300EV follows the Phenom 300E and the original Phenom 300, AeroTime noted.
Embraer says the Phenom line remains the best-selling light jet in the world. The 300EV adds RNP AR 0.3 and FANS 1/A+ for advanced navigation and communications. With deliveries starting in 2028, buyers still have time to place orders, according to Market Screener.
