Flight Options and the Phenom 300 Program

[johnsonrod]

Hey FLOPS pilots,

I was taxiing behind one of your Phenom 300s the other day and it was impressive. What's the status of your Phenom 300 program nowadays:

1. How many Phenoms do you have flying now?

2. What is the delivery rate for Phenoms at FLOPS - one every X months..

3. How many on order total through what year?

4. How do the passengers like the Phenoms vs other aircraft in your fleet (i.e., Beechjets and Hawkers)?

5. How do the pilots like flying them? Any pros/cons so far? How do they like the Garmin cockpit vs. the Collins/Honeywell they were used to flying?

6. Any interesting/impressive performance examples?


Looks like a great airplane with nice performance. Appreciate any insight/opinions/examples. I am sure it flies nicer than my ageing ERJ.

PMs also welcome.

Jesus, you have replaced instuctordude as the biggest dildo here. Talk about shiny jet syndrome.

Gosh...I found this refreshing.

A lot better than whether to have Fidelity of Charlie offer investment options on a 401(k) plan.

These are basic questions. Thanks for attempting to control what we can or can't discuss on a public forum dedicated to aviation... Shouldn't you be spending more time on your favorite gay porn forum since you are clearly not interested in aviation? You would rather slam others who ask aviation-related questions on an aviation-related forum. Again, why waste our time if you have nothing to add? Dildo? I am sure you are the frequent expert.

And no, my name is not Jesus.

Will the top-secret NetJets Platinum Edition Phenom, which no one else on the planet can buy, have TRs?

Owners will have to buy one to find out

Someone please find a wall outlet that I can plug myself into.

No, it won't...and "Platinum" or not, it's still entry level garbage.

 

[johnsonrod]

See, that's what I am trying to determine. Is the Phenom 300 a garbage airplane or not? I've read an article or two about it in Flying, but I have never spoken to a pilot who has flown one...

NachoMamma, you've flown the Citation XLS according to your profile - does the Phenom 300 compare favorably to the XLS or not? It would be interesting to get some feedback from someone who flies it.

Merry X-Mas!

It'll make a much nicer entry-level airplane than the Beechjet or Encore, that's for sure.

What about a Nextant 400?

 

[CA1900]

It's still a warmed-over Beechjet!

 

[NJAowner]

It'll make a much nicer entry-level airplane than the Beechjet or Encore, that's for sure.

A comment like that I would expect from someone flying a G450 or G550 or Global. I would still consider the Excel it looks like you drive an entry level, or a slightly larger entry level jet.
