Phenom 100: On the scene, like a sex machine?

A communal sense that the Embraer Phenom 100 business jet is a sexy machine has been largely notional... until now.

In a request to the FAA filed recently, a pilot in the State of Massachusetts is asking for an exemption to the Part 91 rules that limit flights for charity to a 25 statute mile radius around the departure airport.

For this particular charity event, the requestor wants to fly four passengers from either White Plains, NY (KHPN) or Farmingdale, NY (KFRG) to Nantucket (about 160nm distance), and back in the same day.

The aircraft of choice? A Phenom 100

The charity to benefit? The American Fertility Association
