Embraer's Phenom 300EV secured triple certification on 25 August. The FAA, EASA and Brazil's ANAC granted approval on the same day. That makes the 300EV the first light jet cleared with Garmin Emergency Autoland.
The Autoland system can land the aircraft without pilot input if the crew is incapacitated. It selects an airport and runway, communicates with air traffic control, and lands unaided. Embraer's Multi-Purpose Electronic Controller enables the underlying electronic control loop.
The 300EV builds on the Phenom 300E platform. Range with four passengers and NBAA IFR reserves rises to 2,055 nautical miles. Payload capacity grows by 430 pounds. The flight deck adds Garmin's G3000-based Prodigy Touch avionics, autothrottle, autobrake, and rudder-by-wire controls. Emergency Descent Mode and Runway Overrun Awareness and Alerting come as standard.
Cabin updates include revised temperature control, an air ionisation system, and a new vacuum lavatory. The aircraft is configured for Gogo Galileo low-Earth-orbit satellite connectivity. Starlink is offered as an aftermarket option.
Embraer introduced the 300EV in July 2026. First deliveries are scheduled for 2028. The company has not disclosed a launch customer or an order figure for the new variant.
Michael Amalfitano, Embraer Executive Jets president and chief executive, said the triple approval was 'a testament to the dedication of our teams and Embraer's disciplined approach to engineering excellence and execution.'
The base Phenom 300 entered service in 2009. The Phenom 300E followed as a cabin and avionics upgrade. The 300EV is the third variant in the type's production run. Deliveries of the 300E continue in parallel until the 300EV enters service in 2028.
