Not Flown the Phenom so can only make reference to other slippery jets. In the G550 an extra 5kt on landing makes a difference. With everything out - flap 39, speed brake, gear down and throttles at idle stick back will cause a climb, forward stick, like any aircraft increases speed, its amazingly slippery! You therefore need to be at the right speed far enough out to manage the approach or go round. Swept wing slippery jets are nothing like straight wing piston types or heavy jets. If the graphic of the join and circuit is correct it was quite tight. There is no where to go at the end of that runway other than a car park so if your not sorted out by short final go round - overrun is not an option! And single pilot ops increase the work load significantly.
