Can I get a Phenom 100 type rating without a simulator?
Yes. You train in the actual aircraft and take the practical test in it. No simulator course is needed.
What does the EMB-500 type rating cover?
The Embraer Phenom 100, 100E and 100EV.
Is the Phenom 100 type rating single-pilot?
Yes. The Phenom 100 is certificated for single-pilot operation, and we train and test you for single-pilot operation.
Does a Phenom 100 type rating let me fly the Phenom 300?
No. The Phenom 300 needs its own EMB-505 type rating, which we also offer.
Do I need SOE after my first Phenom 100 type rating?
No, not when you train and test in the aircraft. The FAA requires 25 hours of Supervised Operating Experience (SOE) from first-time type rating applicants trained in a simulator; in-aircraft training does not carry that requirement.
Can I train in my own Phenom 100 at my home airport?
Yes. We can come to your home airport and train you in your own aircraft, or you can train with us at Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport (KOPF), Florida.
How long does Phenom 100 type rating training take?
It depends on your experience, the aircraft and your schedule. Because the course is built around you instead of a fixed program, experienced pilots often finish sooner than a set multi-week simulator course. After reviewing your logbook we give you a realistic estimate.
What do I need before starting Phenom 100 type rating training?
A pilot certificate and a current medical certificate. If you don't hold an instrument rating, the type rating is issued with a "VFR only" limitation. During the assessment we review your certificates, ratings and experience, along with your insurer's requirements.
Is your Phenom 100 type rating training insurance-approved?
Yes. Our programs are insurance-approved. Tell us your underwriter's requirements during the assessment and we will make sure your course meets them.
