How the Phenom 300 course teaches
Built for the Phenom 300 with the Prodigy flight deck (Garmin G1000) and PW535E engines, so every schematic, switch, CAS message and number matches that airplane.
- Systems you operateAnimated schematics with real-looking cockpit switches. Turn on a battery, fail a generator or pull a breaker and watch the system respond, then predict what happens next.
- Teach, then testEvery question comes right after the page that teaches it. Understanding first; the numbers get their own lesson at the end of each system.
- Memory items to zero defectsStudy, sequence, then recall each memory item against the clock. One wrong step and the run starts over.
- Spaced repetitionSmart review brings back each question just as you are about to forget it, so the first week's systems are still fresh at the end.
- CAS and engine-start drillsRead a CAS message on a mock PFD and pick the first action. Run engine starts on live gauges and catch the hot, hung or no-light start in time.
- Single-pilot SRM scenariosDecisions with consequences and a debrief, written for flying the jet alone.
- Mock oral and written checkExaminer-style questions you answer out loud, a limitations blitz against the clock and a mixed written check scored at the end.
- Help that knows the courseAsk the built-in AI assistant. It answers only from the course text, citing AFM references, and hands billing and account questions to a person.

Not your old-school CBT
Do it, recall it, decide
A traditional CBT is narrated slides and static diagrams with a quiz at the end. The Phenom 300 course has you operate the systems, answer each question right after the page that teaches it and review on a spaced-repetition schedule. CBTs vary, and many training providers' courses are good. Use Ground School alongside your training provider's material and the AFM, not instead of them.
Study plan
How to prepare for a Phenom 300 type rating
Book your training
A simulator course at a training center or training in the aircraft. Check your insurer's requirements. Either way you will be tested on systems, limitations, procedures and judgment.
Learn the systems early
Start a few weeks out. Work through one Phenom 300 system at a time with the schematics until you can predict what a switch or a failure does.
Drill the must-knows
Memory items to zero defects, limitations, CAS messages and engine starts, in short daily sessions. Spaced repetition keeps them fresh.
Rehearse decisions and the oral
Fly the single-pilot SRM scenarios and run the mock oral until you can explain the airplane out loud. Then go fly.

Questions
Phenom 300 ground school FAQ
How do I prepare for a Phenom 300 type rating?
Book your training first, either a simulator course at a training center or training in the aircraft, and confirm your insurer's requirements. Then, in the weeks before, learn the Phenom 300's systems until you can predict what a switch or a failure does, drill the memory items and limitations until recall is instant and error-free, learn the CAS messages and performance, and rehearse single-pilot decisions and the oral out loud. Our online Phenom 300 ground school covers all of this, with a free preview.
What does the Phenom 300 course cover?
Every system (electrical, fuel, powerplant, fire protection, bleed air, ice and rain, pressurization, oxygen, hydraulics, landing gear and brakes, flight controls, and the Prodigy flight deck (Garmin G1000) with autoflight), then limitations, performance, memory items and single-pilot resource management. Practice drills include smart review, memory items, a limitations blitz, CAS challenges, an engine start trainer, SRM scenarios, a mock oral and a mock written check.
How much is the Phenom 300 ground school?
$399 for 12 months of the Phenom 300 course, or $499 for Lifetime access. Each is a single payment and nothing renews. Lifetime covers the Phenom 300 course only. Lifetime means for as long as we offer the course, and at least 36 months from purchase.
Does the Phenom 300 Lifetime include the Citation courses?
No. The Phenom 300 is on its own FAA type rating, the EMB-505, and its Lifetime covers the Phenom 300 course only. The Citation Lifetime, which covers the CE-525 courses (today the CJ3+, M2, CitationJet and CJ1), does not include the Phenom 300.
Can I try the Phenom 300 course for free?
Yes. Create a free account to open five preview lessons and two memory items per course, the interactive systems schematics and some of the practice drills. If you buy and change your mind, you get a full refund if you ask within 48 hours of purchase and have completed less than 10% of the paid lessons.
How is it different from a Phenom 300 CBT?
A traditional CBT is mostly narrated slides and static diagrams, with a quiz at the end of each module. Here you operate the Phenom 300's systems with cockpit switches, answer each question right after the page that teaches it, drill memory items to zero defects and review on a spaced-repetition schedule, on your phone or computer.
Can I use it to review before Phenom 300 recurrent training?
Yes, it works well for review. It does not replace the recurrent training your insurer or operator requires.
Does the Phenom 300 ground school replace my type rating training?
No. The courses are study material for training purposes only. They don't replace your flight training, differences training or any other training the FAA requires.
Do I have to train with DAJETS to use the Phenom 300 course?
No. The course works with any training provider, simulator-based or in the aircraft. If you would like to train in the aircraft with us, see Phenom 300 type rating training at typerating.aero/phenom-300-type-rating/.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. Ground School runs in the browser on iPhone, Android, tablets and computers, and you can add it to your home screen like an app. Sign in and your progress follows you from device to device.
