The Embraer Phenom 100 is the very light jet Orlando clients compare against the Citation Mustang, and the comparison usually comes down to cabin feel and range. The flat-floor Oval Lite cabin is a genuine differentiator at this end of the market, and the 100EV variant improved both range and payload.
Embraer launched the Phenom 100 as a very light jet with a flat-floor cabin, Prodigy avionics and a Fenestron-style single-pilot certification. The 100EV variant improved range and payload. Phenom 100 vs Citation Mustang is a common comparison at this end of the light-jet market. [EXTERNAL_LINK]

Why the Embraer Phenom 100 Fits Orlando
The flat floor is what clients who have flown both aircraft talk about. A raised floor tunnel that forces passengers to step over the centreline, common on this class of jet, is absent in the Phenom 100, and on a 90-minute Orlando to Atlanta or Orlando to Charlotte leg that cabin architecture makes a real difference to how much space four adults actually have.
KORL and KISM both handle the Phenom 100 without a planning exercise, and the aircraft’s range of around 1,178 nautical miles covers the core Central Florida demand: the Northeast corridor, the Southeast, the Bahamas, and the western Caribbean. The 100EV extends that envelope usefully for clients with a regular Cancun or Turks and Caicos rotation.
Convention and event demand at the Orange County Convention Center generates exactly the travel pattern the Phenom 100 handles best: four delegates flying point-to-point between Orlando and one other city, departing after the keynote and arriving in time for dinner. At 380 knots and FL410, it does that without drama.
