The Phenom 300E holds the title of best-selling light jet for good reason: at 464 knots it’s faster than some midsize aircraft, while still qualifying for the light-jet hourly rate. The wider 63-inch cabin and 74 cubic feet of baggage capacity — genuinely more than several midsize competitors — make it the aircraft we reach for when a light-jet trip carries golf clubs, ski gear, or more than the CJ3+’s baggage compartment comfortably fits.
With a 2,010 nautical mile range, it handles the same regional network as the CJ3+ but shaves real time off longer legs like Chicago O’Hare to Denver or Boston to Miami. Interior noise levels are notably lower than the category average, which matters more than it sounds on a two-hour call taken mid-flight.
