TOP FLIGHT English summary Comfort is the main feature of this aircraft, from its wide entrance door with a ramp and a wide oval in the fuselage section lead- ing to a quiet cabin. The plane also boasts excellent fuel effi ciency and impressive range. Customers really liked the Oval Li- te signature fuselage, which provides extra space at the head and shoulder level, and the large windows that fl ood the interior with natural light. The porthole in the toi- let deserves special mention because it visu- ally augments the sense of space. All these qualities that the owners of the fi rst 300s highly-value have not only been preserved in the Phenom 300E, but also signifi cant- ly enhanced. Nu mber 3–4 / 126/ Ma rch—Apr i l 2019 The crew-friendly cockpit al- lows the plane to be con- trolled by one pilot. The cock- pit is equipped with a Prodigy Touch Flight Deck sensor system based on the Garmin 3000 plat- form. The new and improved air- craft control system interface with the Prodigy Touch Flight Deck enhances pilot control over the fl ight environment. Techno- logical innovations include pre- dictive windshear, emergen- cy descent mode and a runway overrun awareness and alerting system. The system also warns if the aircraft’s approach is too steep or too fast, thereby in- creasing situational awareness. The new Phenom 300E al- so comes with 4G connectivity through the Gogo Avance L5 sys- tem. Currently, the manufactur- er has delivered more than 530 Phenom 300, including seven- ty 300Es.
