Aircraft; Procedure
Night landings at uncontrolled fields in the Phenom 300 is a very risky landing. Forward visibility using the lights is 20 to 30 yards and does not allow the pilot proper reaction time if wildlife (deer; coyote; cows) or any other obstacle (car; mower; unlit runway x) is on the runway. Landing light location must be changed or light output must be increased.
EMB-505 Captain reported the EMB-505 landing light output is insufficient to identify unexpected runway conditions during night operations.
