I think so, but that is my opinion. It beats it handily on fuel burn, I like the cabin better. Single point lav service(that's external). It also has a much better ramp presence. Not a big deal until your friend pulls up in his Phenom 300 and you are in the CJ4. I always liked the P&W better, but you commented on that pesky oil leak too, but that will be resolved...
Curious if you wear the quick don oxygen when flying at that altitude single pilot? Seems like anything that can shave time off of getting on O2 with a depressurization is desirable. Thanks for the great videos.
Yes, I just don't think it is as smooth as pitch mode or vs mode. It will hunt at times. As it will get just a hair slow on speed, and your thinking its climbing great. Then it has to lower nose and climb is cut in half or more. You do have to manage, and watch, speed in those modes, but I am paid to fly!
haha love the saying "its like a leather glove, room where you need it but nothing extra" If you dont mind who do you work for and what do they do? Im always curious how people can afford this level of "luxury" definitely enjoy the videos Subscribed =D
Normally, what is your descent rate? I'm guessing that if you want to save fuel, the longer you can stay at those high altitudes the better for fuel economy, but I'm not sure if a 2000 fpm descent rate would be ideal if you really want to minimize fuel burn, regardless if the pressurized cabin adjusts along the descent. Your ears will feel it anyway. My assumption is that if you start descending too early, you'll encounter more oxygen at lower altitudes and you'll burn more fuel in the process. I know the G3000 can calculate the TOD based on your parameters, so for your 45000 ft altitude, what is your normal comfortbale descent rate that satisfies those conditions - minimize fuel burn, comfortable descent, best time to destination?
I try and use 2500 fpm. I will say at FL450 I'll start very slow, about 800 fpm and work to about 1500 fpm at FL410. Air is thin up there and plane is slick. On cabin and ears, its very mild. We only have a 6600 foot cabin at FL450.
Hey i love ur videos! Im not a pilot but very interested with bizjets. Im wondering if you operate the plane at long range cruise speed which if im not wrong at mach 0.65 (correct if im wrong) hows the fuel consumption and how about the range. Cheers!
Great video ,thank you. Question.... If you would take of from New York to Munich....what would be the fuel burn and flight time only with how many refueling stops.....IN GENERAL of course. Thank you very much !!!!!!!
Your videos are always very good - very instructional too. This is the 2nd time I watch this video. As I'm doing ground school online, I have a question regarding calculations and planning. Once you input all your parameters for the flight on the G3000, you basically get all your calculations already figured out- it gives you full remaining, ETA, etc and adjusts in real time depending on wind conditions or changes in speed. So, do you ever use paper charts and those E6B calculators when planning a trip or simply input the data on the G3000? Sometimes I get the feeling that paper charts and E6b is for school purposes mostly because plane computers/software do this for you. Do you use ForeFlight? My guess is that if you're flying an old Cessna 172 maybe you'll use those paper charts and rulers, but on a plane equipped with G3000 (or even an iPad for that matter), maybe you don't as much.
Sorry took me so long. When you fly the same plane all the time you learn what it does. I know the fuel burn, by the hour, very well. So I can figure very close how far I can fly. And could on any Phenom 300. I would give me a but extra on a different P300, but I would get close. I learned on paper and an E6B. Before GPS was even out. It gets you an understanding and makes you more observant, IMO. But now I have charts 2 places, on my ipad and on the MFD(in the airplane file server). But the air data computer figures true airspeed for me. And then even figures the winds for me. So, all the times dialing the E6B are gone. But I see where the air data computer figures it from. I do find flying with younger pilots that trained when GPS was out lack some pilotage, but maybe I'm just being old school. I'm about as young as you get and learned to fly without GPS. As a side note, I test flew a Navajo(Piper twin) on the first install of a King KLN89(I think, may have been the KLN90) approved for GPS approaches. It was the one with amber screen designed by an engineer they hired from Garmin.
I would have to look at route for over water. And then a raft would be required. Dry suite, I don't think so. I would think you could do a over water flight, taft required. Or stay close to land and not need it. But you may be paying for flight permits through Mexico on that route. Raft may be less costly.
FD only as wings or is it possible as a cross? I have previously flown on a Boeing with both options and I like it more with a cross. Do such options exist on the phenom?
No it does not, just heat and there is a treatment on the window that works very well. Just need about 50 knots and the windscreen stays free from water.
Hey, there. Great video. Do you happen to know how the 300 compares to the CJ4 on range comparably loaded? I have about 30 hours in the CJ4 now and did a demo in the 300E a couple of weeks ago and the Embraer material seems to indicate that it has longer range than the 4. Cessna’s material shows the opposite. But it appears that the Embraer material is using a base airplane and the CJ4 comes standard equipped with some options that are extra cost and weight on the Phenom. Seems about 350 lbs more comparably equipped......Both are phenomenal airplanes but range is a priority for us and I’m trying to figure out which one actually has longer legs. We regularly fly with 6 in the back. What range do you typically get with 6 passengers? Thanks and again, great job on the videos. Would also love to hear how your maint support has been with Embraer. We are located in San Antonio. There is a Textron center on airport but not Embraer (yet).
My headset is and I need to look into a way to talk in headset for video. Be much better to hear on video. The cockpit is the loudest place on the airplane. Especially loud when indicating over 250 knots.
