Model overview
About the Embraer Phenom 100
The Phenom 100 established Embraer in the entry-level jet segment with a wider cabin than many very light competitors, a private aft lavatory and substantial nose and aft baggage capacity. Its Prodigy flight deck is based on Garmin G1000 architecture.
The original production version transitioned to the Phenom 100E in 2014. It remains an accessible owner-flown and training platform when payload, runway and range limitations match the mission.

Ownership considerations
Review PW617 engine-program status, hot-section timing, cycle history and Embraer service-action compliance. Training use can create high cycles even when total time appears moderate.
Payload with full fuel, runway length and hot-and-high performance require mission-specific review. Compare avionics, brakes, connectivity and cabin updates with later 100E and 100EV examples.
Category context
How it compares
The original Phenom 100 typically offers the lowest acquisition entry to the family. The 100E and 100EV add cabin, avionics and performance refinements, so buyers should compare upgrade costs with the premium for a later variant.
