The NTSB is reporting that the accident aircraft was flying straight in to Rwy 14 (executing the RNAV GPS 14 approach). There would have been no base leg or base to final turn. It is very possible the aircraft got too slow; the latest NTSB release seems to indicate this. It also states the aircraft pitched up and down prior to a stall.

Question: How responsive are the engines to throttle commands on the Embraer Phenom 100?
