The Embraer Phenom 300's ~2,010 nm range falls short of the ~6,517 nm Los Angeles–Sydney route, so it cannot make the trip nonstop — it needs at least one fuel stop. For a nonstop, step up to a heavy or ultra-long-range jet.
Range vs. Distance
| Measure | Value |
|---|---|
| Los Angeles → Sydney (great circle) | ~6,517 nm |
| Embraer Phenom 300 range | ~2,010 nm |
| Margin | 4,507 nm beyond range |
| Aircraft class | light jet |
Book range (NBAA IFR) already includes fuel reserves, but westbound headwinds effectively add distance — which is why a route near the edge of an aircraft's range is treated as conditional rather than a guaranteed nonstop. The operating crew calculates final fuel for the specific date, winds, and payload.

No. The Embraer Phenom 300's ~2,010 nm range falls short of the ~6,517 nm Los Angeles–Sydney route, so it cannot make the trip nonstop — it needs at least one fuel stop. For a nonstop, step up to a heavy or ultra-long-range jet.
The great-circle distance is about 6,517 nautical miles. Real flight plans run a little longer because of routing and winds, and westbound legs effectively add distance against the prevailing flow.
About 2,010 nautical miles (NBAA IFR). That is enough for transcontinental US and regional trips, but not ocean crossings without a stop.
Routes of about 6,517 nm call for ultra-long-range jets such as the Gulfstream G650/G700 or Bombardier Global 7500/8000. See our ranking of the longest-range private jets.
