The numbers, with their conditions attached.
A manufacturer's headline range assumes a lightly loaded aircraft at long-range cruise. Publishing that figure beside a seat count is how buyers get misled, so we publish both and plan against the realistic one.

About that range figure
Five occupants at long-range cruise, NBAA IFR reserves plus a 100 nm alternate, at maximum takeoff weight.
For planning a real trip with the cabin filled, we use 1,600 nm. That is the number the configurator on this site checks against before it recommends this aircraft for your route.
Worth knowing
- Embraer raised maximum cruise to 464 ktas on 2020-and-later aircraft. We publish the conservative 453 ktas because charter fleets contain both.
- The Phenom 300EV was launched in July 2026 but does not enter service until 2028. It is not available and is not quoted.
Common questions
How many passengers does the Embraer Phenom 300E seat?
7 in a typical charter configuration, with a maximum certified capacity of 9. The typical figure is the comfortable one and is what we quote against.
What is the range of the Embraer Phenom 300E?
The manufacturer figure is 2,010 nautical miles — Five occupants at long-range cruise, NBAA IFR reserves plus a 100 nm alternate, at maximum takeoff weight. For planning a trip with a full cabin, use approximately 1,600 nautical miles.
How fast is the Embraer Phenom 300E?
Maximum cruise is 453 knots true airspeed. We plan flight times at 430 knots, which is closer to how the aircraft is actually flown in service.
Can you stand up in the Embraer Phenom 300E?
Not fully. The cabin is 4 ft 11 in high, so you stoop to move between seats. On flights of two or three hours most people find that entirely acceptable; on longer legs a larger category is worth the additional cost.
