EMBRAER PHENOM 100 JET RECEIVES CERTIFICATION IN ARGENTINA

Phenom_100Embraer’s Phenom 100 executive jet received type certification, in late August, from the Argentine aviation authority (Administración Nacional de Aviación Civil). The Brazilian Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC) and the United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certified the aircraft in December 2008, and the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) last April.

The Phenom 100’s range of 1,178 nautical miles (2,182 km), with four passengers, means that, departing from Buenos Aires, capital of Argentina, it can fly nonstop to São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, or Campo Grande, in Brazil; Santiago, in Chile; or Bariloche, in Argentina.
