Greetings from Mallaco
Greetings from EBACE!
We are returning to Geneva with a complete Legacy 500. We look forward to showing the aircraft
and its new interior design as the flight test campaign heads toward certification!
Meanwhile, back in Brazil, we inaugurated the new Brazilian service center and FBO at the
end of March, in Sorocaba. It provides customers with FBO, maintenance support and services.
Renato Rafael manages both the Sorocaba and São José dos Campos facilities, and in the
next pages he shares highlights of his journey with Embraer.
In this edition, we bring you the testimonial of Captain Glyn Anderson, who has flown the Legacy
for many years with London Executive Aviation, and he offers us some insight into his experience
with the aircraft.
Finally, we are pleased to invite you to join us on the 2014 Product Support surveys from AIN
(Aviation International News) and ProPilot magazines, which are being conducted this month.
Your vote will help us to continue to improve our support, our services, and above all, your flight
experience. Cast your vote today!
On behalf of our global customer support and services team, thank you for the privilege of
supporting you on your journeys!

Glyn Anderson, LEA Deputy Chief Pilot and Legacy Fleet Manager
Glyn Anderson learned to fly in New Zealand, studied
Economics at Degree level and subsequently pursued
an aviation career as a pilot. He is Deputy Chief Pilot
and Legacy Fleet Manager at London Executive Aviation
(LEA), with responsibility for two Legacy 650s and
six Legacy 600s.
Q: What’s your background, especially in aviation?
I joined London Executive Aviation (LEA) in 1996 and
started my professional flying career with the company
as a Seneca pilot. I have had the unique opportunity to
pursue my flying career within one company, working
with an inspiring team of people who have established
a market-leading reputation within the corporate sector.
As a senior manager within LEA, I am also responsible
for quality control and maintaining standards across the
company.
Q: How did you first become involved
with Embraer?
My role was to operate and manage one of the first
Legacy aircraft types in Europe for LEA.
Q: When did you first fly an Embraer jet?
In 2006, I operated Legacy aircraft serial No. 505
which was an early development aircraft and was
flown worldwide by Embraer prior to LEA continuing
its adventure.
Q: Could you share with us your experience in flying
the Legacy?
Our feedback shows the Legacy 600/650 is a very
popular aircraft with passengers, crew, maintenance and
operations alike.
Primarily, our clients appreciate the cabin size and
flexibility of use. The three spacious zones allow for
specific client requirements. We found that passengers
enjoy the comfort, privacy and a chance to rest on long
night sectors, with various bed options including the
double divan or mattresses. Our customers regularly
comment that they enjoy the buffet dining on the
credenza, or individual dining as an integral part of the
club seating.

Our business passengers optimise time with
in-flight business meetings, facilitated with voice
communication by sat phone and internet connectivity.
Inflight entertainment is zoned and allows families
with children, for example, to relax and watch movies
separately if required. We quite often see children
relaxing in the rear cabin on the three-seat sofa,
giving the parents a bit of free time.
The Legacy allows us to fly up to 13 passengers
comfortably. Passengers can freely move around the
cabin without encroaching upon any individual’s space.
The cabin, even when full, never feels cramped and is
conducive to a relaxed ambience. Our passenger
profile ranges from royalty to rock ‘n’ roll, though
usually not together!

avionics. Excellent views of the world are always
available through the spacious windows.
LEA cabin crew can move about the cabin with ease,
carrying out their professional duties without being
intrusive. The galley can easily be partitioned from the
cabin during service to allow the crew to work on food
preparation without disturbing the passengers. The
galley has enough workspace and equipment to provide
à la carte service on longer flights, while the baggage
capacity is in a class of its own, with good access from
the cabin and ease of loading.
Our maintenance crew respect the reliability of the
aircraft, which also endears it to operations with good
trouble-free despatch.
The aircraft performance enables a diverse range of
operation, and passenger flexibility ranging from skiing
trips into Samedan in the Swiss Alps, to transatlantic
flights to New York on the Legacy 650. As a pilot of
the Legacy this diversity is professionally rewarding,
challenging and never dull.
Q: What event would you highlight in your history
with Embraer?
The LEA flight crew benefits from a wide flight deck
equipped with modern, dependable and uncomplicated
I have had the pleasure of visiting Embraer’s factory on
numerous occasions to take delivery of new aircraft.
In essence, the Legacy is a perfect corporate aircraft for
operations within Europe, Africa, Asia, the Middle East
and beyond. For me the Legacy is a real pleasure to fly.

crew, myself and local engineers.
Q: What recommendations do you have for
Embraer’s Customer Support team?
Q: Could you describe an occasion when you
needed support from Embraer?
The despatch of the Legacy fleet, as mentioned, is
faultless, so in that regard customer support is not
regularly sought. On those rare occasions when aircraft
have been AOG, or potentially so, Embraer reps
are always keen to assist with trouble-shooting and
rectification. As an AOC operator, there are established,
continuous airworthiness procedures to deal with
engineering issues. Notwithstanding this, I have been
always able to communicate with key support personnel
within Embraer whether from our office or around the
world.
A recent AOG in Male over Christmas was a case in
point. Given the remote nature of this location, and
despite it being a holiday period, a part was dispatched
from Paris and an engineer flew in from Dubai to
work on the aircraft. The AOG time was minimised by
Embraer’s assistance with fault diagnosis, aiding both
Customers’ Events
The support is personable, responsive and
geographically wide-reaching. As the Legacy 650
expands regional operation and popularity, Embraer
should ensure that maintenance support is localised
wherever possible in terms of engineering availability,
parts sourcing and despatch, aiming to minimise
customer inconvenience.
Q: What do you draw from your experience with the
Legacy 600/650?
The Legacy 600/650 has evolved and improved,
based on operators’ feedback and recommendations.
The cabin, avionics, engine and fuel developments
have made a significant impact operationally and
in terms of passenger comfort and satisfaction. More
can be achieved to uphold the aircraft’s reputation and
future, but essentially the latest Legacy 650 aircraft is a
market leader.
Embraer Executive Jets customers will enjoy
full support during FIFA’s World Cup in Brazil
From June 12th through July 13th, a dedicated Embraer
Customer Support and Services team will be on call 24/7.
Our customers will benefit from the readiness of Field
Support Representatives (FSRs) and teams of maintenance
technicians, who will be based in each host city, to accompany
their aircraft arrival, and swiftly respond to any aircraft event.
Our plans include:
• Maintenance Availability (Embraer Owned and
Authorized Service Centers)
• Material Support Readiness
• 24/7 Contact Center
We want our customers to enjoy the World Cup and rest
assured that they can count on our support.

Embraer and CAMP: A Winning Relationship
History
Benefits of MTX Tracking
CAMP Systems International and Embraer entered into
an agreement in late 2011, which enabled CAMP to
provide Embraer Executive Jets (EEJ) customers and
operators with Maintenance Tracking Services for
their aircraft.
The goal of any MTX tracking system is to ensure a
customer’s aircraft airworthiness is always preserved and
in compliance with local regulatory requirements.
Along with CAMP Maintenance Tracking, Embraer
obtains a comprehensive data stream from CAMP,
enabling Embraer to:
CAMP System
Customers’ Events

monitor fleet reliability

track service bulletin incorporation

forecast parts requirements
CAMP is currently signing up well over 90 percent of
new aircraft deliveries, enabling customers to benefit
from the Maintenance Tracking (MTX) service. CAMP
has participated in various EEOCs around the world,
and has also joined the Phenom Jet Association, actively
supporting their meetings.
Maintenance tracking is performed behind the scenes,
transparently supporting customers’ operations.
CAMP’s approach to maintenance tracking is to
completely aggregate all MTX data into a single location.
This is done by:

Incorporating and maintaining Embraer’s
Maintenance Program information to a current
revision standard,

Merging Embraer SBs with documentation

Integrating AD content

Loading component tags to support and
substantiate the component status

Updating maintenance status while it is
performed, and linking the compliance docs to
provide immediate access to critical data.

Embraer and CAMP: A Winning Relationship (continued)
Mobile Platform
CAMP has also developed an innovative
mobile platform, iCAMP, designed to
operate on the Apple iPad™, iPhone™
and Android™ devices. This mobile
platform is rapidly becoming the core of exciting new capability for operators as it allows
for quick access to all critical aircraft maintenance data. Additionally, iCAMP now offers
customizable checklists for various operational tasks. In the future, iCAMP will allow
operators to transition to a fully electronic maintenance environment with the release of
electronic signatures.
Benefits for Phenom Operators
Operators of Phenom 100 and Phenom 300 have often moved up from twin engine
piston or turbine aircraft. While operating a twin engine piston aircraft, the operator’s
service center often “fully managed” the aircraft. The Phenom 100 and Phenom 300,
however, are modern aircraft, with complex integrated systems, just as their larger
stablemates. CAMP’s tracking system ensures that customers receive the benefit
of the aircraft’s design for predictable maintenance.
In addition, the Phenom 100 and Phenom 300 enable customers to travel much farther,
often away from their main base and primary maintenance facility. When unexpected
maintenance is required, CAMP’s system ensures all historical information is readily
available to the Service Center.
Furthermore, this system provides Embraer Service Engineers and Field Service
Representatives with the information they need, when they need it. This enables
Embraer to respond rapidly and deliver critical support. CAMP’s comprehensive
maintenance tracking system gives Embraer the visibility needed to provide the
highest quality support.
A Bright Future
The future holds promise for CAMP and Embraer, as they forge ahead progressively.
CAMP is currently working on an enhanced data feed to provide greater depth and
richness to the data provided to Embraer. In addition, CAMP is already integrated with
the innovative AHEAD (Aircraft Health Analysis and Diagnosis) system and is working
with Embraer to share even more information.
CAMP also provides Engine Health Monitoring (EHM) for Pratt & Whitney Canada
(P&WC) engines, and will shortly integrate the P&WC EHM data into the CAMP system.
This will fundamentally redefine maintenance tracking, serving as a single environment
for an operator and Service Center to manage their aircraft.
Additionally, CAMP recently signed an agreement with Honeywell to provide Engine
Health Monitoring for the HTF engines. This will further enhance the MTX tracking
experience for other members of the EEJ fleet.
CAMP is committed to providing Embraer, and all of their customers, with the tools and
services that they need to effectively manage their aircraft. They look forward to a longterm relationship with Embraer.

FlightSafety International: LEGACY 500 TRAINING
The Legacy 500 entrance into service later this
year will mark the culmination of years of extensive
preparation and collaboration between Embraer
and FlightSafety International. The comprehensive
professional training program and the advanced Level
D qualified simulator are designed to enable operators
to take full advantage of the aircraft’s unparalleled
features. Embraer selected FlightSafety as its Legacy
500 training provider to ensure that customers receive
the highest quality training, be it for pilots, maintenance
technicians, or other aviation professionals who
operate and support their aircraft.
The Legacy 500 initial pilot course provides challenging
real-world training scenarios with advanced classroom
training tools and the highest-fidelity simulation
system. Ground school focuses on the ‘learn, see,
and do’ instructional strategies, maximizing the handson training effectiveness of MATRIX, FlightSafety’s
integrated training system. This innovative suite of
devices uses the same software found in the
Level D qualified simulators. Pilots follow along on
desktop simulators while instructors explore aircraft
systems on large displays. As in the full flight simulator,
systems respond just as they do in the aircraft. The
inclusion of hands-on simulation in ground school
significantly enhances training benefits.
“We’ve been working since 2010 to ensure that our
training for the all-new Embraer Legacy 500 and
Legacy 450 takes full advantage of the latest in
educational technology and instructional expertise,”
says Brady Peikert, Pilot Training Program Manager.
“Tablet computers, frequent interactivity with full flight
simulators, and the MATRIX system, are just a few
of the features that enhance the Customer Training
Experience and provide unparalleled value. Our vision
is not simply to offer ‘training’ for Legacy 500/450
operators, but to provide them with a comprehensive
hands-on experience that will enhance their knowledge
of the aircraft as well as the safety of their operation.”
The maintenance training program was developed
with Embraer engineers and maintenance technicians.
EASA approval of the courses in February enabled
FlightSafety to start providing Legacy 500 maintenance
training to Embraer Service Center technicians and
customers prior to the aircraft’s entry into service.

are expected in the coming year. This simulator features VITAL X, FlightSafety’s
industry-leading electric motion and control-loading visual system.
“FlightSafety is pleased and proud to serve Embraer,” said Angie Gremard,
St. Louis Center Manager. “We continue to work together to develop new training
programs, update existing courses, and determine the timing and location of
additional flight simulators, devices, and equipment that is needed to support
Embraer aircraft operators.”
FlightSafety International is the training provider for the Embraer Legacy 450,
Legacy 500, Legacy 600, Legacy 650, Lineage 1000E, and the E-Jets family
of commercial jets, with eleven locations worldwide and a fleet of 26 full flight

Grand Opening - Embraer New Brazilian Service Center and FBO
Embraer Executive Jets inaugurated a new Service Center at Bertram Luiz
Leupolz (SOD) Airport, in the city of Sorocaba, Brazil, on March 27th. The
Company’s new facility, which involved an investment of more than USD 25
million, is expected to generate up to 250 direct and specialized jobs over
the coming years.
With the inauguration of the Sorocaba facility, Embraer is expanding its
Service Center network at strategic locations, to support the growing fleet
of executive jets in Brazil. There are currently more than 160 Embraer
Phenom and Legacy jets operating in Brazil.
The city of Sorocaba demonstrates a business aviation vocation, with more
than 30 companies based at the airport, growing air traffic, and favorable
weather. The airport’s proximity to the capital city of São Paulo, Greater
Sorocaba’s continued development, and its qualified work force were also
strong factors influencing the decision.
The new center comprises a passenger boarding and arrival terminal,
providing airport services, meeting rooms for customers, and rest
areas for crew members – all equipped with TV, Internet access,
and communications.
The 20,000-square-meter area of the Service Center has two hangars,
one of which is dedicated to maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) of
executive jets manufactured by the Company, and the other to support

Safety should be the first thing that comes to mind when it comes to aircraft
maintenance. The primary goal of every maintenance organization is to keep
aircraft flying in the safest conditions. This is no different for business aviation
customers.
Unscheduled maintenance events are not pleasant, and we strive to minimize
downtime and costs, but always prioritizing safety.
Q: What’s it like to start a new facility like Sorocaba? What is the role the
FBO in the region?
Starting a new facility from scratch offers unique challenges. Everything
is new, except the experience we have in serving customers, so training
becomes key to delivering great service, right from the start.
With the growing fleet of Embraer Executive Jets in Brazil, Sorocaba plays a
significant role in this expansion, due to its regional economic importance and
its proximity to São Paulo. Our objective is to be ever closer to our customers
in order to best support their operations, and the new Sorocaba facility is the
ideal venue in the region.
