Embraer EMB-500 Phenom 100

A mostly aluminium airframe with composite parts where they save weight: control surfaces, fairings, the tail or the rotor blades. The design is held under 1 type certificate (A59CE, held by Embraer S.A.). The FAA has issued 13 airworthiness directives (orders that owners must comply with) that name this model, most of them about instruments and avionics. Operators and repair shops have filed 197 failure reports with the FAA since 2009, 80 of them in the last ten years: about 5.2 a year for every 100 aircraft on the register; the system most often named is heating, ice protection and utility systems. 26 approved modifications exist for it, the most by Embraer Engineering & Technology Center - USA INC..

Sources: the FAA's type certificate data sheets, airworthiness directives, supplemental type certificates, special conditions and special airworthiness information bulletins (Dynamic Regulatory System), and the FAA's service difficulty reports. A failure report is what an operator or repair station chose to file; the counts show reporting as much as reliability, and larger and commercial fleets report more. How the systems are grouped.
