Embraer Phenom 100:Certified, Delivered

摘要

Unrestricted U.S. FAA certification of Embraer's smallest jet, the Phenom 100, was awarded in December 2008, and the first delivery was made to James and Elizabeth Frost on December 24 in Sao Jose dos Campos, Brazil. "Surprises" in the final certified operating specs were an improved range (1,178 nm with four aboard), shortened max performance field requirements (now 3,125 feet at MTOW under standard conditions) and a 301-fontrnimprovement in landing distance, among others. EASA certification is expected in Q2 2009, with European deliveries to begin shortly after.
