First time I have seen the fuel panel in operation. Learning something new in aviation at 7:50AM! Great way to start a day! Thank you. Patrick from Albuquerque

737 panel is very similar really.... Has pre sets ...blue lights to indicate tank shutoffs... wing tanks and a center tank...

Really nice showing the fueling of a beautiful aircraft.

Nice... Thank you...

She is an absolute beauty. Love the paint job.

Cool video. Please more of these

Ahh the old KSDL, I love that place. Also the Volanti restaurant is 👍👍👍

The Phenom 300 has the most pain-in-the-ass single-point refueling op. Sometimes when you want a topoff, one valve closes first and it’ll shoot tens of gallons of Jet-A from the fuel vents onto the ramp, despite any successful shut-off test

Good to see this in action. Congrats on your channel.

Looking very nice.

Cool vid... I am a Boeing - aircraft fueler.... Just wondering if the Phenon needs " prist "...? I re fuel the 737s mostly... and de fuel them as well.... The 737 max takes a maximum of right around 48,000 lbs with wings and center at 100%

Thanks for the wonderfull videos! I'm a big fan. How much does it takes to refuel the Phenom 300? Thanks.

Operating costs are about $3200 per flight hours and a annual budget of about 1.45 million dollars a year

How long does it take to fill say 3000lbs or 3500 lbs once the truck is connected till it shuts off?

About 10 minutes, it’s not super fast. But not that long. I will have to time it.

That's a lot of fuel, would've never guessed that you could hold that much. Must have a long trip ahead? How many miles can you go on a full tank? Do you refuel after most every trip?

We had 2 fairly long trips that day. 3 legs and 7 hours of flying. Normaly fuel before each flight.

What is the fuel capacity in gallons. Good video 👍

Jet A works out to around 6.85 lbs per gal - fyi

Thanks for sharing. Why do you have to do the ground when fueling?

To prevent sparks from static electricity when the fuel hose is connected.

Do you think the new features embraer just announced would be worth the cost to get the upgrade?

It may be hard to justify trading an existing Phenom 300. But manufacturers should continue to improve, add value, to the new models. I would really like the .80 limit on my next 2 flights. 1800NM with an average 90 knot head wind. The interior looks very nice btw.

@@windingtrail9319 I did the math, over that distance, in those conditions, an extra .02 mach saves you 4 minutes... So don't feel too bad while you're on that trip.

Yuck, if I spent that much on a jet I would expect my personnel to keep the panel and surround a lot cleaner than that mess you showed us. Shame on you.
