I’m not a pilot, but the proud sister of Rich! As always, I’m so proud of you and your accomplishments!
Thanks Jill!
Amazing to support your sibling ..Bless the family!!
@@FlyingwithRich how you afford a jet. I want to buy my own so I can make a business out of it. A lot of opportunities for private charter in Africa.
We Like Him Too,,, Sis,,,,
Been watching youre brothers videos . I've learned alot from him . I like the way he does his videos .
I had the pleasure to visit the Embraer plant in São Paulo. Really a world class aviation company! Kudos for their products.
The Phenom 300E is the Dream Perfect Jet...... but just for the people who can afford it!.....For the rest of us, it's a joy to watch videos about this fantastic aircraft! 😊
Thanks for making the videos. Would love an interior tour of the Phenom as well.
Gguys, you both did a very good job here. I really like how you put this plane down so genly, while reducing possible stress damages to engine and wings. ✈
I really enjoy your videos and thank you to Jon as well.
Will do. Thanks for watching.
I enjoy the tone of your videos Rich. Keep'em up!
Thanks for the feedback and watching!
I looked up John Spano's business/life story. I wanted to check out an company example that made owning an aircraft like this plausible. WOW! how inspiring. Public identity through his web site is a lesson in itself. I enjoyed this video very much. Thanks Rich.
Thanks for watching and the comment!
you got a link? All I got was some notorious sports fraud guy with the same name!
300 are very impressive!
He Took off before the runway started. Catapult launch!
Live hearing the owner operator stories. Great vid!!
More coming soon. Thanks for watching!
Loved getting to see all the details
Thank you for watching!
Excellent video showing all phases of flight. What a fantastic airplane!
Thanks for watching!
Beautiful Airplane! Thanks so much for a detailed discussion and the wonderful video of the flight systems on this aircraft! I’m new to your videos and compliment you on a job well done! This is also my first introduction to the Phenom 300 and it is definitely a wonderful aircraft!
It definitely has its drawbacks too though, but overall it’s ok
@@anthonyg5577 what are the drawbacks?
I would love for a chance to sit up front on a flight of this beautiful plane! Not a pilot but I love the Phenom 100s and 300s!
I would take you up.. but it won't be a phenom.😥
Beautiful aircraft...
Really looking forward to the T210 video!
I remember watching this video back when I was working on my instrument rating, and now next week I start training on the Phenom for work. Super excited.
Nice!
Great review for someone trying/struggling to make a decision on the purchase of a single pilot light jet. Thank you.
I've watched a lot of your videos and love every minute of it with your insight on so many aircraft. My only gripe is with the fast forward approach, landing and taxi which I know is for the sake of brevity but I always feel cheated out of what I feel is the highlight of any flight. Keep up the good work and I'll keep watching even if at high speed in some parts! :-)
Thanks and thanks for suggestion!
This was a great video, pilots eye view.
Appreciate the pilots great info on this Aircraft. Sounds like good competition to Cessna range of jets. Love the 3000 screens.
Thanks for watching!
Beautiful and powerful....
Great video and details. Thanks!!
Thank you for watching and the feedback!
Love the vid.
MUCH better... .no insane music. Subscribed :-)
Great plane nicely done thanks for sharing cheers
Thank you too!
Good video. Thanks!
The happiest people in general aviation seem to always be private business owners.
Obviously, as they're the only ones who can afford to be in it
@@stanleymasterson1135 not really. For jet flying yes, but certainly not to occasionally fly a 2 or 4 seater piston
My favorite airplane. Really like the video. Scary dogs on runway. Had a fox on takeoff out of KISP cross in front of a 172, almost Brown underwear :-). Keep the vids coming.
Haha! Thanks for watching.
Fantastic!
Hi Rich, it’s Rob w/ N779CC. We have used Jon’s company’s services. Love the Phenom 300, intend to own one one day. I’d love to chat with Jon and (fingers crossed) fly with him one of these days. As you know, we have offices in Sacramento and Concord as well as Boulder, Lee’s Summit, MO, and Tampa. For all except Tampa the Conquest is excellent but who wouldn’t want a Phenom 300?
Great video! As a business owner and executive, private aviation offers so much to love.
I agree...thanks for watching!
Great flying the aircraft gentleman 👏 👌
Wow the Phenom has a lot of power - you were practically off the ground before you hit the threshold
Lots of power for sure. The new ones have even more!
What an impressive machine, Cessna better step up their game if they want to stay in that segment of the market.
awesome looking plane love your head sets
Thanks for watching!
Phenom 300E is my dream airplane, but as a late starter in life...oh well. Its was inspiring to see how fast Jon rose up in climbing the ladder to bigger faster aircraft though! There's hope for us low time/slow/late starters - HA!
300 is a very fine airplane. Never too late for a type rating - one of my clients is north of 80 now and did his 510 type rating in 70s and we're working on getting his 510 recurrent done now. Very capable and impressive to watch him fly...hopefully we'll do a video with him!
@Flying with Rich very inspiring I'm 62 and am working on my private license and hope to own a 300 soon
@@russellklassen I’m still slumming it in a 182🤣
Great video Rich - The Phenom is an outstanding aircraft.
It really is kind of in a class by itself.
Agree on the Phenom - really fine aircraft. Thanks for watching!
Brakes suck
@@anthonyg5577 then why did the owner of the plane say they are really good?
@@THELIFEOFPRICE you’ll have to ask the owner, in my opinion there are better choices
beautiful a/c
"Even in other Jets that I've owned". Nice Excellent show.
Thank you.
Enjoyed video! Thanks
Thanks for watching!
What a wonderful life. 😍🥰🥰
beautiful phenom 300
Thanks for watching.
Wonderful videos, Mr. Manor! I’m a student pilot (35 hrs working on private) out of concord! I’m a choreographer and filmmaker so I frequent to Long Beach/the general LA area a lot. Who know, maybe one day I’ll be flying myself down for work and might cross paths with you! Your videos and content brings me joy!
Thank you. Please come down for a visit anytime!
Fascinating and very informative video, loved Jon's aviation story, comes across as an extremely capable and very experienced pilot, and to be so enthusiastic about an aircraft not built by the big American aircraft manufacturers was a pleasure to watch.
Thanks for the message, and thanks for watching!
❤ Embraer !!
What a phenomenal jet, (No pun intended) and single pilot! What's not to love?
Agree - really well done airplane. Not much to complain about in my opinion. Thanks for watching b
CJ4
Great ride and video Rich. Thanks to John, just wish he would have talked about his helicopter experience as well.
Me too! Thanks for watching!
Love this video
Thanks for watching.
Keep it up!
Thanks for watching!
I'm still amazed at the performance of this jet. Off the ground by the end of the displaced threshold.
Serious performance!
Nice color in and out. Sweet plane, lotto plane!
Thanks - custom colors on both interior and exterior chose by owner - thanks for watching!
My company has 4 of these we replaced our 560s 7-8 years ago. Great airframe a operate all 4, 5 days a week for corporate travel.
That’s great feedback - thanks for watching!
great show Rich!
Thank you.
Cool video. Watching videos learning about light jets and different manufacturer pluses and minuses. I'm the son of a Naval pilot, commercial pilot, and private pilot. My dad flew C-130s in Antarctica with snow skids and jato jets. Flew P-3 Orion sub hunters. Retired 37 years at United as a B777 captain and line check airman. Owns a C172 we've flown from Chicago to Austin and Daytona Beach. I guess some kids have fond memories of camping with their dad. Mine was being on a United flight and the Captain, my dad, reminding my little brother to sit in his seat over the intercom. Or sitting in a C-130 in a military hangar and having my dad turn the electrical on so the radar screen comes to life for a little kid. And always going to Osh Kosh. But love Chicago A&W show the best. My younger brother also later became an F-15E WISO so got to sit in the cockpit and hang out with fighter pilots a few times and met a general and checked out the Blue Angels hangar at Pensacola, NAS.
Nice - childhood for sure! Thanks for the message!
Good flying. Fly safe always.
Thanks for watching!
You ate welcome. My heart loves flying still.
Sorry!!! I meant to say; You are welcome. Typing fast is my fault. Thanks.
Happy 4th of July to you and your family.

Beautiful plane. Viva EMBRAER 😎🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Beautiful & powerful.
I know I'm a yr late on this vid but have watched many of Your vids Rich > not a pilot...always wanted... started ground w/a Buddy in the 90's who was a FI but wasn't able to complete. What a cool gig You have > anytime You find Yourself near klvk (live 2-3 miles due West right off the runway... you've likely flown right over) would look forward to sayin hi & checkin out whatever You happen to flyin. Thanks for the fantastic content 👍
Thank you. I’m in that area frequently. Send me your e-mail and I’ll try to connect with you sometime.
Really nice aircraft: I would love to fly one.
Thanks for watching!
Thats my favorite aircraft . If I had the finances I would own one of those !
Hey rich thank you for taking us along! Was wondering if y’all ever fly into vegas with the phenom 300? Is it an e version by any chance? If y’all do would there be any way of getting to see the plane? Been looking at them a lot on KZhead but can’t seem to find one anywhere to take a look at in person. Beautiful plane in the videos for sure
Sure - send me an e-mail and if we come to Vegas, I’ll let you know.
@@FlyingwithRich shot you an email thank you man!
Max gross to FL410? Impressive! Like a mini Gulfstream! Beautiful airplane!
Thanks for watching!
@@FlyingwithRich Great video!! Any cheat sheets on the 100/300? If provided, I owe you a beer! Or three… Going to school soon- much appreciated! Are they the same type rating? Sorry for lame question! I am ATP, CFII, CL30, CL65, DA50, GV, GVI- Cheers, Mate!
almost every modern jet can do that, except for weaklings like the Mustang or M2.
@@xyzaero9656 Read my comment again. Take off at a aircraft’s maximum gross weight and climbing to it’s certified ceiling is a great accomplishment. Even the Gulfstream G550’s and 650’s only guarantee a max wt climb to FL410 then as weight is burned off they can continue to climb.
@@rumrnr78 You talked about a max takeoff weight climb to FL410, that is pretty much standard since the Global came on the market I the mid 90s. 410 is a standard initial cruising level.
Man, he gets it on the ground immediately! I like that!
If you want to experience the Phenom 300 Xplane's Aerobask is getting ready to release their rendition of the Phenom 300
Thanks for watching!
The most beautiful jet in the world
Another great Video Rich . Most of my experience is in Jets snd Jon is very professional.. The 300 appears to do it all . My background is Lear 45 and CL 604 . As I mentioned in your Columbia 400 video , love your approach to aviation. We are visiting with a Columbia 400 owner here at Apa on Thursday. Thanks for this great stuff
Thank you very much for the nice comment!
The paint job on N95HE is killer!
Yeah - that’s agreed job - Jon designed it himself.
I bet he is looking forward to the much needed G3000 upgrades this year. I'm a Collins Pro 21 guy myself, but have come to also like the G3000. The Rockwell/Collins new 2021 Pro Line Fusion Bombardier Vision flight deck, seems to be really amazing. Enjoyed the video, Thanks for posting !!
What G3000 upgrades?
@@lebojay Garmin is suppose to be upgrading the G3000 this year. They will be adding features to the G3000 that it doesn't have at this present time. Like adding Flight check lists, to the system. Instead of using a paper laminated check list. Plus much more will be added, Navigation, Maps, etc. . Go read up on it. The Pilots I know who fly with the G3000 are really looking forward to the much needed upgrades.
@@Charles53412 Thanks for the reply. Is a “flight check list” different from other check lists?
I have seen some of the G3000 upgrades in new M2s - pretty nice. Thanks for watching.!
@@lebojay Yes ! Flight checks are pre-takeoff, post takeoff, and arrival checks. To make sure all equipment is properly functioning. These are different say from like visual walk around inspections etc
i work for spinneybeck. if thats a 2015 i was the guy who put all the flame treating on all the leahter! at the time embraer was our biggest aircraft customer.
Beautiful airplane. Check your audio though....a lot of drop outSs. Thanks for the coverage of this gorgeous Embraer.
Thanks for watching! We will make a new video on this airplane soon.
Great plane, solid pilot, fine flight. Thanks. BFL has no tower? Oh, L45 is not the main field. I wonder what two full-power jet engines sound like to a dog's ears.
Denver, Colorado Springs are difficult in the Summer especially in 2019 & 2020 when they got hit with 100 degree temps for months.
Agree - I fly into KAPA a lot so gets tough in the afternoon. Thanks for watching!
Caralho decola rápido pra caramba! 👏🏻
Hey Rich, nice work, quiet an impressive Video! The Phenom 300 is just an awesome modern good looking powerful plane - I loved to fly her when I was in a different company. But I am wondering about the climb procedures/technic. Normally I am used to reduce the climb rate when you’re approaching your preset Alt/FL to avoid a possible TCAS event, but in the Video he used to climb from FL150 to FL160 with FLC with a Rate of 2500ft/min instead of VS 1000, any reason or do you have just a different way to deal with in the States? Anyway nicely done and keep doing your great work! :)
I think your technique is better for climbs that are only a few thousand feet or less. Modern AP’s do a good job of anticipating level off and initiating a level off early. Thanks for watching!
Rich, I love your videos. It's great to see all of the different types of planes. Great job !! Now, buy a razor. :-)
Thanks for watching! I bought one but lost it again.
Wow reaching service ceiling in 15 mins is crazy
One option that would definately great in single pilot environment (any and including the Phenom) is AUTOTHROTTLES. The G3000 suite has AUTOTHROTTLE on the DAHER TBM940 and it therefore has provisions for A/T implementation. It would be such a great advantage to have A/T in this plane.
Agree. I have flown another airplane with auto throttles - it’s very nice and as you say, excellent for single pilot ops. I’m sure it’s coming for the 300. Thanks for watching and the comment.
@@FlyingwithRich I believe they are made available to HAWKER 800-900XP series that are equipped with the COLLINS PROLINE 21 cockpit. Great platform as well. Longer range than the Phenom, but only goes to FL410 and I believe lower in cruise Mach. Especially comparing to the PHENOM 300E 2020 model with the -E1 version of the Pratt Engines. I have a talk with the product manager of EMBRAER on wednesday as I made several proposals for further upgrades, amongst them AUTOTHROTTLES, AUTOBRAKE and a speedbrake lever with detents, INBOARD Ground Spoilers AND 3.550lbs thrust FJ-44-4AP engines instead of Pratts.
@@FlyingwithRich They are looking into it to add the AUTOTHROTTLES.
It would have been nice to hear some of the engines
Yes it’s would have been fun to hear the engines but beside that this video is great.
Fenno Embraer. Jatinho para o mundo
Great video. That climb rate, wow. How does it compare to a Gulfstream? Better or different?
Probably comparable on climb rate, but so much heavier, and really a totally different class of airplane. Thanks for watching!
pretty much the same depending on weights
I heard from an engineer that works on Phenom 300/100 that the newer Phenoms built in Melbourne, FL are not built as well/have design flaws specifically with the tail section. Just curious to know if you've heard of those and any other common faults with this type that you could share? cheers
@Gregory Ho what design flaw? Surely it is the same design? (So if anything it would be a construction flaw.)
😎👍
The best performance is at or just slightly above the mid thirties
Ok, I think you will like this one !!!
Do the 100 and 300 have different braking systems? Because I heard that the 100's brakes are everything but not great.
Early 100s had brake issues for sure - I think they worked the problems out on the 100s. I was aware of limited issues on the 300s but our experience has been great. It’s a true brake-by-wire system so takes some getting used to.
Rich if I had the $$$ you would be my go to guy enjoy your videos.
Das Flugzeug gefällt mir.Ich nehme eins...
Rich, nice plane alright but it's in a strong class. PC24 is impressive with stol, rough field capable, and close performance. CJ4 looks like a good one too. Both have trailing link main gear for soft landings and airframe life. Any comments on the competition?
Great comments - my problem is I love them all! Citation 525s (all the CJs) are such great airplanes and have so many strong qualities. PC24 looks to be a very strong competitor too for the reasons you mention. Truth is you probably can’t go wrong in the light jet market. Thanks for watching and your comments!
Rich roger that. It seems like in the $10 million class they all get serious and make some pretty nice stuff. That PC24 has had a lot of thinking go into it. See the walkaround video by Eric J. and flying by planejunkies from LV. Spec sheets dont tell the whole story but if i had to make the call i think it would take awhile on a spreadsheet with all the detail. Bob. @@FlyingwithRich
@@FlyingwithRich Rich i just realized i sound like a Pilatus salesman but not at all. Just an observer impressed with capability of the PC24. But maybe i should be. haha. But you're correct, they're all good products in this class.
I’m anxious to see/fly the Pilatus - seems like it will be an excellent airplane - the unimproved runway landing/big door set it apart for sure. Hopefully I’ll get a chance to fly it - when you join their sales team give me a call!
@@FlyingwithRich Rich, i'm not sure if you've seen the video of 'dirt trail' landing /take off by Airsmart PC24 in NV . It shocked me when i saw it. I dont necessarily think this is a great idea for biz jets but can sure come in handy if you need it. If you're ever in LV call them and ask to have a look. Chief pilot Tommy does aerobatic competitions for hobby and seems like a good guy.
Whew, what a handsome guy Jon is! Rich you need to clean up to compete...
I can’t compete with Jon cleaned up or not!
@@FlyingwithRich Ha, ha, ha... the guy looks like he should be on the "bachelor!
Great aircraft to fly on the Xplane 11 Sim to be able to experience the Phenom 300 from Aerobask....With a must have XPrealistic addon..... Spano is a great Pilot. If you want to experience the Challenger 650, X aviation came out with a simulation of it for Xplane 11. It flys like the real deal Thats why you pay over 100.00 for it and its well worth it too.
Very cool. Haven’t really done the sim like that much - mostly training in motion sims.
Rich take away the two pilot requirement vs one pilot. What is your opinion on the citation xls+ vs the phenom 300? Take in consideration cost and performance. Thanks
Take the 2 pilots out really changes the game - although getting very tough to get single pilot insurance on the Phenom any more. I would say the XLS+ would be a pretty hard airplane to beat for the money. Range better and larger cabin. Ramp appeal goes to the Phenom in my opinion!
@@FlyingwithRich Thanks
Do you think that fly -by-wire feature will be fitted to the Phenom 300 just it's elder siblings?
Hard to say - but I’m guessing that technology is too expensive to make down to the lower end of the market.
What's the service like for Embraer here in the U.S. vs Textron? I'm a long way off on making a decision but I really like the Phenom 300. However knowing that they are based in Brazil I imagine a Cessna would be better in terms of service.
Both of the airplanes we work with have had really good experience with Embraer’s service. Very popular aircraft for 10+ years so have to be doing something right. Can’t go wrong with Cessna either.
@Rey Rey The Phenom is proudly built in Florida.
Love that aircraft! Few planes can ever safely reach above a “real” _thunderstorm_,. Common severe supercells can anvil out beyond 45, 000’ and routinely incorporate incredibly destructive wind forces and large hail :-( but am not telling you pilots anything you aren’t aware of from the beginning of training.
True but there are definitely better choices than the jungle jet
You are NERVER save above a real CB and always stay away at least 10 to 25NM upwind off the tops of a CB. It is nice to get out of the weather to visually avoid CBs, but never overfly them!! Sometimes there is no chance to get to the tops, because the closer you fly to the Equator and especially in the ITCZ, CBs easily reach up to 60.000+ feet.
@@anthonyg5577 in its class?
