Frequently Asked Questions About the Embraer Phenom 100EX

What is the Phenom 100EX price?

The Phenom 100EX price for a new aircraft from Embraer is approximately 4.5 to 5.5 million US dollars depending on avionics configuration, interior specification, and options selected. This positions the Phenom 100EX at the premium end of the entry-level light jet segment.

Pre-owned Phenom 100 series aircraft in good condition with moderate airframe hours typically sell in the 2.5 to 3.5 million dollar range, though this varies considerably with the aircraft’s total time, maintenance status, avionics configuration, and the current market. Operators comparing the Phenom 100EX price against alternatives in the entry-level and very light jet segment typically consider the Cessna Citation M2 Gen2, the Cirrus Vision Jet, and the HondaJet Elite 2 as broadly comparable options in the same price bracket. Note: pricing figures are approximate market estimates. Verify current pricing with Embraer authorized sales representatives or aircraft brokers for up-to-date data.

What is the difference between the Phenom 100EX and Phenom 100EV?

Phenom 100EV is a common misspelling or misremembering of the Phenom 100EX model designation. There is no Embraer aircraft called the Phenom 100EV. The correct current production model name is Phenom 100EX. The Embraer Phenom 100 family includes the original Phenom 100, the Phenom 100E (an improved variant), and the Phenom 100EX (current production). The larger Phenom 300 and Phenom 300E are separate, longer-range aircraft in the same family.

What is the Phenom 100EX range with a full passenger load?

The Phenom 100EX range with a full complement of passengers is reduced from the published maximum of 1,178 nautical miles. With 6 passengers and their baggage, practical range is approximately 900 to 1,000 nautical miles depending on fuel load, routing, and weather. Operators planning missions near the maximum range should use weight and balance calculations based on actual passenger and baggage weights rather than the published maximum figure, which is typically calculated at a lighter configuration with standard NBAA IFR reserves.
