Where the Phenom 300E fits
For several consecutive years the most delivered light jet in the world. Air stair door, enclosed aft lavatory and a genuinely usable baggage hold.
Light jets cover the majority of domestic charter demand. Six to eight seats, two to three hours of comfortable range, and access to nearly every business airport in the country. Most have an enclosed lavatory, most do not have a flight attendant.
On a 1,000 nautical mile sector the Embraer Phenom 300E plans out near 2h 33m. Push it to 2,000 nautical miles and you are looking at roughly 4h 45m, which is beyond what it will do without a fuel stop.
The cabin measures about 4.9 ft high by 5.1 ft wide across 17.2 ft of length. It is a seated cabin. You move between seats, you do not walk around.

Published city pairs the Embraer Phenom 300E covers without a fuel stop, using under 80 percent of its book range so a full cabin does not change the answer.
Questions
About the Phenom 300E
How many passengers does the Embraer Phenom 300E carry?
Typical charter seating is 8. Maximum certificated seating can be higher, but the practical number falls once baggage and sector length are counted, because seats and fuel compete for the same weight allowance. On a short leg you may fit the full 8. On a leg near the range limit you will not.
What is the range of the Embraer Phenom 300E?
Published maximum range is 2,010 nautical miles, about 3,723 km. Plan real missions at roughly 80 percent of that figure with a full cabin. Headwinds, a hot departure field and high elevation all reduce it further, which is why we flag legs above that threshold for operator confirmation.
How fast is the Embraer Phenom 300E?
Typical cruise is 464 knots, which is about 534 mph. On a 1,000 nautical mile sector that works out near 2h 33m block to block once taxi, climb and descent are included. Short sectors run proportionally slower because the aircraft never settles at cruise.
What runway length does the Embraer Phenom 300E need?
Balanced field length at maximum takeoff weight, sea level, standard temperature is about 3,699 ft. That is the best case. Add elevation, add heat, add a wet runway, and the requirement grows, which is the mechanism behind most weight restrictions at mountain airports on summer afternoons.
Does the Embraer Phenom 300E have a lavatory?
Enclosed lavatory. It is a separate compartment with a door, not a curtained seat.
