GREETINGS
FROM MARCO TULIO
Kicking off year with major milestone
My friends,
Welcome to the first Embraer Advantage of 2016.
This year is off to an exciting start as we recently
marked a major milestone – the delivery of our
1,000th aircraft. We also learned our Phenom 300
was the world’s most-delivered business jet for
the third consecutive year.
I am thrilled to celebrate these significant
achievements with our entire Embraer Executive Jets
family. Our employees’ hard work and dedication
and our valued customers’ continued confidence
and support have made these accomplishments
possible.
Our 1,000th jet – a Legacy 500 – was delivered to
Flexjet LLC, one of the leading provider of fractional
jet ownership services. We are proud to have
delivered 1,000 business jets in more than 60
countries in just over a decade. This feat shows that
we listen to our customers and provide them with
innovative solutions to meet their varying needs.
In February, we learned our light Phenom 300 was
again the most-delivered business jet in 2015, 70
aircraft were delivered to several customers around
the world. Just over six years after its launch, 330
Phenom 300s are now operating in more than 28
countries.
We also received more good news earlier this
year, when the General Aviation Manufacturers
Association (GAMA) released its 2015 worldwide
year-end report, showing Embraer Executive Jets’
market share had grown to 17% in terms of unit
deliveries. Last year, we delivered 120 aircraft, the
highest number in five years, and we’ve set an even
higher goal for this year.
Finally, I would like to extend a warm welcome to
the new members of our family. In this issue, Les
Goldberg, the first customer to take delivery of
our new Legacy 450, shares his experience with
Embraer and his cutting-edge aircraft, which he calls
“a beautiful machine.”
Building on our success in 2015, we are looking
forward to reaching even greater heights in 2016 as
we continually challenge the status quo and strive to
be better in all we do.
Enjoy the issue.

its goal was to become a major player in the business
aviation market by 2015. It accomplished that goal,
and today, Embraer offers the broadest portfolio in the

Embraer’s clean-sheet-design business jets – the

FAA approves Gogo Wi-Fi STC
for Phenom 300
ATG 5000, UCS 5000 to be installed on aircraft
The Embraer Phenom 300 has received the
Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) from the Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) for the installation of
Gogo Business Aviation Wi-Fi products – ATG 5000 and
the UCS 5000 – on the Phenom 300.
The ATG 5000 offers seamless in-flight Internet aboard
aircraft across the continental U.S., plus parts of Alaska
and Canada, along with advanced features such as
multi-network management.

The UCS 5000 smart-cabin system manages and delivers
a wide array of data, voice, entertainment, information
and cabin management services. It includes additional
in-flight entertainment, such as the latest movies and TV
episodes, and provides moving map capabilities to the
aircraft.
With the STC for both systems, Embraer won’t have to use
third-party companies for these installations, ensuring a
high standard of quality control and excellence. Embraer
also gains a competitive edge, as there are only a small
number of aircraft in the market that use the UCS-5000
instead of the CTR Wi-Fi hotspot.

Legacy 450 approved to
operate from La Mole Airport
Aircraft is largest business jet capable of providing charter air service out
of airport in St. Tropez
The Embraer mid-light Legacy 450 recently became
the largest business jet capable of providing charter air
service from La Mole Airport in Saint Tropez, France.
The approval from the French Civil Aviation Authority
(CAA) allows Legacy 450 passengers to conveniently
reach St. Tropez and other popular tourist destinations
on the beautiful French Riviera.
Smart Air SA became the first company in Europe
to take delivery of the Legacy 450 late last year.
14
Evaluation flights performed by the aircraft, operated
by Air Service Liege (ASL) in Brussels, Belgium, met strict
performance requirements to take off and land on La
Mole’s short runway, which is surrounded by dense
terrain and heavy air traffic. The results were validated
by the French CAA.
In a commercial operation, the Legacy 450 can land at
La Mole Airport with at least six passengers, or more
in favorable weather conditions, and take off with eight
passengers onboard.
AMAZING THINGS HAPPEN WHEN
YOU’RE BOUND ONLY BY PHYSICS.
Barring the immutable laws of science, Embraer designers and engineers enjoy a unique freedom
to create our executive aircraft. To reshape a fuselage that slips through the air while providing
unrivaled cabin roominess. Or tweak the delicate balance of lift and thrust to increase efficiency.
Or create control systems that help pilots always perform at their very best. All are a product
of unconventional thinking at its finest. With all deference to pioneers like Newton, Galileo and
Einstein — we simply don’t think their good work is finished.
Rethink Convention.

Les Goldberg
First worldwide owner of Legacy 450: It’s a ‘beautiful machine’
Les Goldberg, CEO of LMG Show Technology and Entertainment Technology
Partners and an author, is the first worldwide owner of a Legacy 450.
Tell us a little bit about your business.
We’re in the business of live entertainment – audio, video,
lighting, LED screens for music, concerts, conventions, trade
shows, all types of events around the world.
What is your experience in business aviation and when
did you purchase your first business jet?
My first jet I bought in 2009, and that was a Hawker. I had that
for four years, and when my Hawker company went bankrupt,
I promptly got rid of the Hawker and I purchased a Leer. I had
the Leer for almost three years, and I finally got myself a bigboy airplane. This is my third aircraft.
Why was the Legacy 450 the aircraft for you?
There’s a certain quality of fit and finish that you expect when
you buy a multimillion-dollar plane, and this exceeded my
expectations with fit and finish. So that was number one. And
then when you add the new avionic technology and the fly-bywire, it gives you the best ride, and it is absolutely a beautiful
machine.
What do you like most about the Legacy 450 and how
does it help your business?
When I need to go somewhere, I feel 100 percent positive that
when I get in that plane, it will take me to my destination with
my team, my pilots. So I feel reliability is at the top of the list,
and I believe it is one of the nicest, well-built aircraft that I’ve
ever seen. I think the flexibility and the ability to be where I
need to be to meet my clients is paramount, and this aircraft
does everything I need it to do.
Can you share your experience with the aircraft delivery
process in Brazil.
When I went to see the aircraft for the first time, I took an
overnight flight and arrived in Sao Jose dos Campos after
landing at the Campinas airport, and it’s like an hour and a
half, two-hour drive, and when I got to the aircraft, they had
projected an image of our company vision statement on the
side of the plane with a welcome, which was kind of a nice
surprise, because being in the communications, presentation,
live-event business. But I think the expectation of seeing the
aircraft, based on the specs you have, it was one of those
“Oh, wow” moments … Taking delivery of the aircraft, that was
the bomb.

Does it make you feel any different knowing you’re the
first Legacy 450 customer in the world?
That doesn’t shock me or make me feel a certain way. I will
tell you that when I looked at other aircraft that are in (this)
category, and I sat in those, I didn’t get the feeling that I was
buying a very expensive, multimillion-dollar aircraft, and when
I got into the Legacy 450, I got the feeling that I was like a king
in his castle.
Your company has a lot of focus on creativity, technology
and innovations. Do you see any connection between
Embraer’s philosophy and your company?
This product is an evolution of some continued improvements
and trying to develop a product that is leading edge and
dependable, and those are some of the same values that we
share. We offer technology for what we do in the live-event
space with lights and technology, with LED and cameras and
all kinds of cool, new things. You want technology you can
trust and that doesn’t really put you at risk and delivers an
exceptional experience. So the values of Embraer and this
aircraft match the values of our company.
Is there anything else you’d like to share with us?
Whenever you sell a product, you always have to sell the
differences. And I don’t think I realized all the differences until
I did a lot of additional homework. Originally, I was buying a
Cessna Latitude. I had made an offer and I said I really need
to see this aircraft first, and as soon as I got on this aircraft,
I wasn’t buying a Latitude. And then I was buying a Legacy,
and the question was whether the math and the economics
were going to work, and ultimately, everyone found a way. I’m
a happy camper.

Brazil native relishes ‘cool’ job
in Phenom plant
‘Embraer is something that makes us really proud to be Brazilian’
When Pedro Holanda relocated to Florida from his
native Brazil to work in aviation 15 years ago, he had no
idea he eventually would work for a global executive jet
maker with a Brazilian heritage.
Pedro is thrilled his career path led to Embraer Executive
Jets in Melbourne, brimming with enthusiasm as he
talks about the company and his work as an avionics
technician in the Phenom assembly plant.
“Embraer is something that makes us really proud to
be Brazilian,” said Pedro, who joined Embraer in April
2012. “Being an avionics technician is something really
cool. I like my job. I am proud to work for Embraer. The
environment is great.”
Most of Pedro’s work takes place in the cockpit, where
he performs exhaustive operational checks and avionics
tests to ensure that all of the innovative electrical
systems are functioning correctly.
“We go through
every knob, every single little button in the cockpit to
make sure everything works properly. It’s really fun to
sit down in the cockpit and get to understand how every
single system works on the aircraft.”
“
17
It’s a massive
corporation
that’s
not going
anywhere.
They’re here
to stay.
Manufacturing engineers lend their technical knowledge
to rethink convention “because we really have to get
into the guts of the electrical side of the aircraft,” Pedro
explained. Quality assurance inspectors also work
closely with technicians, monitoring processes and
completing documentation showing the work complies
with the FAA’s and Embraer’s highest standards.
Pedro sharpened his skills while working as an avionics
technician with a local U.S. aircraft manufacturer, and
later as an electrical mechanic on the technologically
advanced Boeing 787 Dreamliner at a final assembly
plant in South Carolina. When production of the Legacy
450 and 500 begins in Melbourne, Pedro said he would
welcome the opportunity to learn a more sophisticated
and complex system.
The Brazil native is effusive in his praise for Embraer
Executive Jets, which continues to grow in a competitive
market, offering customers the broadest portfolio in the
business jet market.
“It’s so exciting to see the company growing. Not every
company out there is doing so great like Embraer.
Embraer is so strong. It’s a massive corporation that’s
not going anywhere. They’re here to stay.”

First-ever Industry Collaborators Summit a success
Embraer Executive Jets’ inaugural Industry Collaborators
Summit at the company’s Melbourne headquarters in
December was a big success.
The event provided key industry influencers a behindthe-scenes look at Embraer and the Executive Jets
division and an opportunity to learn firsthand how
Embraer’s innovative aircraft have revolutionized the
business aviation industry. Most of the attendees had
never visited the Melbourne campus.
After touring Embraer Executive Jets’ sprawling complex,
viewing our jets and attending informative sessions,
some participants expressed surprise at the scope of
25
the operations in Melbourne. In a post-event survey,
respondents gave the summit high marks, noting they
were impressed with the facilities and enjoyed the tours.
They also were complimentary of the evening reception
at the Customer Center, which one participant described
as “classy” and “perfectly executed.”
We are confident attendees of the first-ever summit left
Melbourne with a better understanding of Embraer’s
spectacular executive jets and commitment to challenge
the status quo and rethink convention. The second
Industry Collaborators Summit is planned for later
this year.
