Btw, not an excuse for sandblastig anything or knocking staff over but the Phenom is a bit of a b**ch to turn as the nosewheel steering through the pedals has a very limited steering angle and any tight turns require momentum or power plus differential braking. Takes some practice. My guess is the guy was new on type.
As above - probably new on type.
Assuming you drive a Gulfstream then I guess your max nose wheel deflection with tiller etc is around 80 degrees.
The phenom does not have a tiller. Max nose deflection with pedals only is 20 degrees and even with differential braking you require some differential thrust to achieve the maximum of 43 degrees if you don’t carry enough momentum - particularly when marshellers try and turn you into tight spaces.
