Embraer Phenom 100 executive jet certified by Brazils ANAC

Embraer’s Phenom 100 jet received its Type Certificate from Brazil’s National Civil Aviation Authority (Agência Nacional de Aviação Civil or ANAC), in a ceremony held today at the Embraer headquarters in São José dos Campos, Brazil.

“In 2005, we promised to design and build a revolutionary jet with premium comfort, outstanding performance, docile flying qualities, and a low operating cost,” commented Luís Carlos Affonso, Embraer VP, Executive Jets. “We have relentlessly pursued these design goals and, now, I am thrilled to announce that the Phenom 100 has not only met all original specification targets, but has also surpassed several performance goals.”

Emilio Matsuo—Embraer’s Senior VP for engineering—said, “This certification makes all of us at Embraer very proud. The Phenom 100 was conceived, developed, and certified in less than four years, which is very noteworthy. Furthermore, the performance figures obtained demonstrate the product’s excellent design.”
