Wide of every storm
The guidance for pilots is to keep at least 20 miles from a severe thunderstorm. The radar shows where they are, so the route bends round them.
Take it apart. Fly New York to Aspen without a stop. The light jet the world has bought most, fourteen years in a row.
The Embraer Phenom 300E is a light business jet with two rear-mounted engines, certified to be flown by a single pilot. It flies 2,010 nm nonstop with 5 occupants, at up to Mach 0.80 and 45,000 ft, in a cabin 5.24 m (17 ft 2 in) long, 1.55 m (5 ft 1 in) wide and 1.50 m (4 ft 11 in) high, usually laid out for six passengers. The Phenom 300 series has been the world's best-selling light jet for 14 years in a row, and more than 900 are in service. It is still in production, so you can buy one new from Embraer or pre-owned, often privately, through brokers such as ICCJET.
For sale and charter. ICCJET finds Phenom 300E jets for sale, new and pre-owned, listed and off market, for buyers in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and worldwide. We also arrange Phenom 300E charter through licensed operators: one way, round trip or multi-leg, up to six passengers in the standard layout. Typical nonstop legs: New York to Aspen or Miami, Los Angeles to Cabo, London to Mykonos, Sydney to Auckland. Against its rivals it is faster than the Citation CJ4 Gen2 (451 kt) and the Pilatus PC-24 (440 kt); see all five.
Embraer drew the Phenom 300 as a larger sister of the Phenom 100. The prototype flew on 29 April 2008, Brazil's ANAC certified it on 3 December 2009 and the first one was delivered on 29 December that year. In 2018 came the Phenom 300E, the E for Enhanced, with a redesigned cabin; in 2020 it gained PW535E1 engines, a top speed of Mach 0.80 and 2,010 nm of range.
Owners keep choosing it because it gives up so little: a big cabin and baggage hold for a light jet, a short field and a pilot's seat that one person can fly from. In 2025 Embraer delivered 72, its most this decade. For a buyer that means a large, well-supported fleet, plenty of choice and values set by year, engines, hours and inspection status. The best aircraft often change hands privately, before a listing appears. ICCJET sources the Phenom 300E for private owners, companies and charter operators, new or pre-owned.

Layouts and occupant counts from Embraer's 2025 Phenom 300E brochure; occupant counts include the crew. The cutaway is schematic: seats, cabinets and the lavatory are placed after Embraer's published floor plans, the section after Embraer's section drawing. ICCJET confirms the actual layout, seat count and certification of each aircraft.
Set your height. See where your head is when you walk the dropped aisle and when you sit in a club seat, and how the cabin compares with bigger jets.
Swipe for the comparison with other jets
Heights without shoes; add about 3 cm for them. The section follows Embraer's drawing: a dropped aisle, seats on side ledges, cushions about 0.49 m above the aisle floor; seated head height is estimated from typical body proportions. Cabin heights of the other jets are their manufacturers' figures. Embraer says the Phenom 300E has the most head- and legroom in its class.
We plan with 15% held back: the solid gold ring is factory range less 15%, about 1,709 nm with 5 occupants, and the dashed ring is the brochure figure. The lit land is everywhere you can plan nonstop. The tour flies New York, London, Los Angeles, Miami, Sydney and more; tap any city, route or point to take over.
Factory range: 2,010 nm with 5 occupants of 200 lb, long-range cruise and NBAA IFR reserves with a 100 nm alternate (Embraer). The map plans on 85% of that, 1,709 nm. Flight times use the 464 kt high-speed cruise plus 15 minutes; at long-range cruise the same leg takes longer. Real flights depend on winds, weather, payload, routing and airport limits. Check any route in the ICCJET Aircraft Route Planner.
A bit of turbulence is normal, like a car on a gravel road. The Phenom 300E and its crew carry a whole toolkit for it. Switch the tools on and watch a glass of water on the cabin table calm down.

The guidance for pilots is to keep at least 20 miles from a severe thunderstorm. The radar shows where they are, so the route bends round them.
The Phenom 300E is certified to 45,000 ft, so the crew can often climb to a smoother level when the air is rough.
Keep your belt loosely fastened whenever you sit. Most people seriously hurt by turbulence were not wearing one.

16,000 years
In 2025, airlines flew 38.7 million flights with 51 accidents, 8 of them fatal. Even in that difficult year, you would have to fly every day for about 16,000 years, on average, before being on a flight with a fatal accident.
Airline statistics from IATA, not business jets. Fatality risk 0.17 per million flights; the years are our arithmetic from that rate.
At the 2025 airline rate. Business aviation counts accidents differently and has no matching public figure, so treat this as a sense of scale.
Swipe the timeline sideways
Only accidents backed by an official investigation are shown, from the reports linked in each card. We do not rank aircraft types or call any jet the safest: fleets differ in size, age and use, and such comparisons mislead. Airline background: IATA 2025 safety report.
Same airframe and cabin. Aircraft delivered from mid-2020 have PW535E1 engines with more thrust, a higher top speed, more range and a higher maximum weight. Earlier aircraft cost less to buy and fly most of the same missions.

Makers' published figures, checked 27 October 2026. Range is NBAA IFR with a 100 nm alternate where stated, but the payload behind it differs from jet to jet (shown under each figure), so read range as a guide, not like for like. Cabin lengths are measured differently by each maker. Runway is takeoff distance at maximum weight, sea level, ISA (balanced field length for the PC-24). Speed is maximum or high-speed cruise in knots true; Bombardier gives the Learjet 75 only as a 464 kt top speed and Mach 0.79 high-speed cruise.

Yes. Deliveries began in December 2009 with the Phenom 300 and continue with the Phenom 300E; Embraer delivered 72 in 2025. You can order one new or buy pre-owned.
Not fully. The cabin is 1.50 m (4 ft 11 in) high and 1.55 m (5 ft 1 in) wide, so most adults bow their head to walk the aisle and sit comfortably. It is 5.24 m (17 ft 2 in) long; Embraer says it has the most head- and legroom in its class.
Six in the standard layout. Embraer's layouts take 8, 10 or 11 occupants including the crew; the type certificate allows up to 10 passengers with one pilot and 9 with two.
Yes. It is certified for single-pilot operation. For charter, crewing follows the operator's approvals.
2,010 nm (3,723 km) with 5 occupants, long-range cruise and NBAA IFR reserves with a 100 nm alternate, according to Embraer. New York Teterboro to Aspen (1,502 nm), Los Angeles Van Nuys to Cabo San Lucas (808 nm), London Luton to Mykonos (1,387 nm) and Sydney to Auckland (1,166 nm) are nonstop legs; New York to Los Angeles (2,129 nm) needs a fuel stop.
The Phenom 300 entered service in December 2009. The Phenom 300E, first delivered in March 2018, brought a redesigned cabin. From June 2020 it gained PW535E1 engines of 3,478 lbf, Mach 0.80 and 2,010 nm of range.
The fleet has flown more than 2.9 million hours since 2009. Official reports record three hull losses; in the two fatal accidents, in 2015 and 2023, investigators did not find an aircraft defect as the cause.
Yes. ICCJET arranges Phenom 300E charter through licensed operators: one way, round trip or multi-leg, with up to six passengers in the standard layout.
It depends on the trip. Textron quotes the CJ4 Gen2 at 2,165 nm, but as a ferry flight with no passengers; Embraer quotes the Phenom 300E at 2,010 nm with 5 occupants. The Phenom cruises faster, 464 kt against 451 kt, and its cabin is 5 cm taller and 8 cm wider; the CJ4 cabin is 4 cm longer. ICCJET sources both.
The PC-24 has the bigger cabin (1.55 m high, 1.69 m wide, 7.01 m to the aft pressure bulkhead) and the shorter takeoff, 3,090 ft balanced field length against 3,209 ft. The Phenom 300E is 24 kt faster at 464 kt, with similar range: 2,010 nm with 5 occupants against 2,000 nm with 6 passengers.
ICCJET arranges Phenom 300E charter worldwide, including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and Europe, Australia and the Middle East, through licensed operators: Part 135 carriers in the US and Air Operator Certificate holders elsewhere.
