Primarily the braking issues. Nothing like multiple runway overruns to give the passengers a lot of confidence in the airplane.

It's more complicated than that. It's a single wheel airplane, with no T/R's, and a computer controlled braking system that functions differently than most other airplanes. It seems to work well with dry runways, but when runways are contaminated, the system leaves a lot to be desired.

Saw my first NJA Phenom in SFO a few weeks ago... All NJA bashing aside, I wasn't impressed with the look or size of it. It looks cheap and not something I'm used to seeing with a QS on the tail.
Do guys enjoy flying it, or is everyone trying to bid out
What kind of Vref speeds and landing distances does it have? What's its MTOW?

The Latitude will be a great airplane for passengers and pilots IMO.

Just from the outside, Cessna products "look" more sturdy and of better quality than the Embraer. I wouldn't doubt the Latitude would be a more suitable a/c. Too bad Sokol opted for the cheaper products.
