Pilots
The Phenom 100 is by far the best aircraft in its class in terms of aircraft performance, cabin and luggage space, operating economics, maintenance support and residual value. The Phenom 100 has the tallest, longest and widest cabin of any of the VLJ aircraft already in production. It even has a lavatory separated from the main cabin. The cockpit is designed by BMW Designworks and includes the most advanced avionics in its class which will reduce pilot’s workload considerably and increase safety. The engines are manufactured by Pratt & Whitney Canada.

Avionics
The EMBRAER Phenom 100 Executive Jet avionics will be the ProdigyTM system which is based on Garmin Avionics Platform. It will make extensive use of the latest technologies in a highly integrated and automated architecture. Designed with the "quiet and dark" cockpit concept, it will provide maximum safety, requiring adequate pilot workload while providing comfort during all flight phases. The main instrument panel will incorporate Three 12.4 inches Active Matrix Liquid Crystal Displays (AMLCD), one Integrated Electronic Standby Instrument (IESI), two audio panels, one guidance panel and an additional panel for FMS (Flight Management System) control.
The ProdigyTM will provide the following functions as baseline:
Display of attitude, heading, and slip/skid. Display of air data information. Display of engine parameters and systems status / information (including synoptic). Crew Alerting System (CAS). Aural Warning (including Stall Warning Function). Airborne Audio System. VHF Communication (COM). Transponder functions including Traffic Information System (TIS). VOR/ILS Navigation (NAV). Satellite based positioning navigation (GPS-WAAS1). Flight Management System (FMS) including Required Navigation Performance (RNP). Vertical Navigation (VNAV). Satellite Weather and Radio Receiver. Display of terrain information, including Terrain Awareness and Warning System, class B (TAWS-B). Moving map for situational awareness. Flight Director (FD). 3 Axis CAT I Automatic Flight Control System (AFCS). Pitch and Mach Trim Computations. Center Maintenance Computer (CMC), including Health Monitoring Capability for Engines. Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT).
Engines
The PW617F engine is the latest member in Pratt & Whitney Canada's revolutionary PW600 engine family. Specially designed for point-to-point travel, this innovative engine offers outstanding performance together with Pratt & Whitney Canada's trademark dependability. The PW617F engine installed on the Phenom 100 develops 1695 lb. of thrust at take-off.
The PW617F incorporates the latest technologies to deliver efficient power with low emissions, and is equipped with dual-channel full-authority engine control (FADEC) for reduced pilot workload and smart health monitoring. The PW600 is also designed for low noise so that in-cabin sound is no louder than that of a passing car. It is compact and lightweight, built with half the parts of standard turbofans, which also means it is easier to maintain.
Range
The Phenom 100 has a range of 1,160 nautical miles, allowing for travel between virtually all major European cities. Click on each city below to view the Phenom 100’s flying range:
