The aircraft full-scale mock-up is shown for the first time in the French Riviera

São José dos Campos, April 30, 2008 – Embraer will showcase, for the first time, a full-scale
mock-up of the Phenom 300 executive jet at Eur-Avia 2008 in Cannes, France, May 2-4. Eur-
Avia, now in its second edition, is an annual international exhibition dedicated to general
aviation in the south of France. The event will be staged at Cannes Mandelieu Airport (LFMD),
a popular and prestigious airport for VIPs and business leaders flying in on their private aircraft.
“We are delighted to be a part of this important event, showcasing the mock-up of the
Phenom 300 jet to attendees in Cannes,” said Colin Steven, Embraer Vice President,
Marketing and Sales – Europe, Africa and Middle East, Executive Jets. “The Phenom 300 jet,
which has just performed its maiden flight, ahead of schedule, this week, offers great comfort
combined with performance, ideal range, and operational advantages, such as single-point
refueling and external lavatory service that is exceptional for an aircraft in this category,
besides plenty of on-board technologies to fulfill the needs of our customers.”
Embraer will also display the Legacy 600 super midsize executive jet at the static display.
The Legacy 600 is particularly suited for the European market and is the largest business jet
certified to operate at runway-restricted Cannes Mandelieu and London’s premier business
aviation airport, London City (LCY). The Legacy 600 will be viewing the latest cabin
enhancements launched earlier this year.
The Phenom 300 light jet and the Legacy 600 executive jet form part of Embraer’s growing
portfolio of aircraft designed for the burgeoning executive aviation market, which also
includes the Phenom 100 very light, the Embraer MSJ midsize, the Embraer MLJ midlight,
and the Lineage 1000 ultra-large jets. The Phenom 300 is expected to enter service in the
second half of 2009.
About the Phenom 300
Premium comfort, outstanding performance and low operating costs are key design drivers for
the Phenom 300 best-in-class jet. With the interior designed by BMW Group
DesignworksUSA, the aircraft will offer pilots and passengers the comfort and style previously
unknown in its category. The relaxing ambience is enhanced by generous windows and the
most ample cabin in its class. Onboard conveniences include a wardrobe or refreshment center,
an aft cabin private lavatory with toiletry cabinet, and satellite communications.
The pilot-friendly cockpit and the docile flying qualities of the new aircraft will enable singlepilot
operation. Drawing from Embraer’s design and engineering experience, the Phenom 300 is
designed for high utilization and availability. For added safety and reliability, the jet will offer a
standard anti-skid brake-by-wire system.
Based on Garmin’s all-glass, fully-integrated avionics suite, the Prodigy® flight deck offers
Phenom 300 jet operators more advantages than any other avionics suite on today’s market. The
cockpit features three interchangeable 12-inch displays – two Primary Flight Displays (PFD)
and one Multi-Function Display (MFD). The system integrates all primary flight, navigation,
communication, terrain, traffic, weather, engine instrumentation, and crew-alerting system data
and presents the composite information in brilliant, sunlight-readable color on three highdefinition
active matrix liquid cristal displays.
With a configuration to accommodate up to ten occupants, the Phenom 300 jet has a huge 76-
cubic-foot (2.15-cubic-meter) baggage capacity that will conveniently transport passengers’
luggage, golf bags and skis.
Two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW535E engines, with 3,200 pounds of thrust each, power this
jet. Its range with six occupants will be 1,800 nautical miles (3,334 km or 2,071 miles) with
NBAA IFR reserves (35 minutes of holding and 100 nm alternate). The aircraft is capable of
flying at 45,000 feet (13,716 meters), has a maximum operating speed of Mach 0.78, and is
also designed for short-field takeoffs. These capabilities will permit customers to fly nonstop
from London (UK) to Reykjavik (Iceland), the Azores, Cairo (Egypt), Tel Aviv (Israel) or
Moscow (Russia); and from Geneva (Switzerland) to the same destinations, plus the Canary
Islands, at a lower cost than competitive aircraft.
Expected to enter service in the second half of 2009, the Phenom 300 is priced at US$ 6.65 million,
based on January 2005 economic conditions, in the baseline configuration, for FAA certification.
About the Legacy 600
The Legacy 600 jet provides premium comfort and privacy for up to 16 passengers in three
distinct seating areas. Interior standard features include first-class leather seats, a plush divan,
an elegant credenza, and spacious tables for dining or meetings. The aircraft also has a full
size galley for hot and cold meals, a full-width aft lavatory, wardrobe and storage cabinet,
and an entertainment system with DVD players and satellite telecommunications. Optional
High Speed Data (HSD) and Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) capabilities allow customers to browse
the Internet, access e-mails and transfer files. The 240-cubic-foot (6.8-cubic-meter) baggage
compartment of the Legacy 600 is one of the largest in the industry and is easily accessible
during flight, for greater passenger convenience.
The aircraft cruises at a speed of up to Mach 0.80 and has a range of 3,250 nautical miles (6,019
km or 3,740 miles) with eight passengers and NBAA IFR reserves. This range, bolstered by
superior passenger and luggage capacity, enables customers to fly nonstop from New York
(U.S.) to London (U.K.); from London or Geneva (Switzerland) to Dubai (United Arab
Emirates); from Singapore (Singapore) to Beijing (China) or to Port Moresby (Papua New
Guinea); and from Jakarta (Indonesia) to Melbourne (Australia) at lower operating costs than
competitive aircraft with a similar cabin size. Additionally, the Legacy 600 is the only super
mid-size jet certified to operate into and out of the London City and Cannes-Mandelieu airports.
The twin-engine business jet is based on the successful ERJ 145 regional jet family platform
that has accumulated over 12.5 million flight hours on 1,000 aircraft. With a platform
designed to endure an average of 2,500 hours per year, low operating cost, and a track record
of over 99 percent dispatch reliability, the Legacy 600 offers luxurious comfort and delivers
high utilization and high availability.
More than 130 Legacy jets currently operate in 23 countries. Also available in Shuttle and
Shuttle High Capacity (HC) configurations, the Legacy is designed to provide comfort and
functionality. The Legacy Shuttle accommodates from 16 to 19 passengers in business class
comfort. The Shuttle HC version enhances owner productivity and comfortably seats as many
as 37 passengers in a superior airline-quality interior.
