On 25 August 2026, Embraer announced that the Phenom 300EV had received triple certification from Brazil’s National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC), the United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). Unveiled in July 2025, the light jet carries four passengers and represents the latest evolution of the Phenom 300 family.
Compared with the Phenom 300E certified in 2020, the 300EV offers increased payload and a range extended from 2,010 nautical miles (3,722 km) to 2,055 nautical miles (3,806 km). Its most notable new feature is the inclusion of the Garmin Autoland system as standard equipment, making it the first light jet and the largest jet to date to be equipped with this next-generation safety system.
Garmin Autoland is an emergency autonomous landing system designed to take control if the pilot becomes incapacitated. It can select a suitable airport, navigate a route avoiding terrain and weather, execute the approach, land, apply brakes and bring the aircraft to a stop without human intervention. Activation can be manual via a dedicated button by the pilot or a passenger, or automatic when the system detects conditions indicating the pilot may no longer be able to fly.
Connectivity upgrades include factory-fitted Gogo Galileo low-Earth-orbit satellite connectivity, with Starlink available as an aftermarket installation via a Supplemental Type Certificate. The aircraft also features a Multi-Purpose Electronic Controller (MEC) enabling autobrake and rudder-by-wire, along with Garmin 3D Taxiway Routing, Runway Occupancy Awareness, Synthetic Vision Guidance System (SVGS), FANS 1/A and RNP AR 0.3 capabilities.
Embraer plans to begin customer deliveries of the Phenom 300EV in 2028. The triple certification clears the way for production and marks a significant step for safety technology in single-pilot operations.
