Especially with a long, dry runway.
Max landing weight limits are for normal operations, not emergencies.
Boeing builds better than Embraer light jets. I have flown both and had an overweight landing the 737 due to a fuel problem and it was just a writeup, deferral of the associated componenets and fairly short inspection. RTS same day. That Phenom is different. I've about 1000 hrs in it and it didn't instill much confidence in me insofaras strength goes, although the gadgetry is decades better than the B17, er, 737.
