"Landing speed of a jet is around 135kts give or take type."

VREF on approach for the Phenom 100 is about 100kts....it is a VLJ.

Thanks - didn’t look up the article. On a Citation V it’s like 1.3 times the power off stall speed in landing configuration. So like with 130kts it’s 1.69 units. Still need the CVR and radar returns to see what it was doing during approach. My guess it’s stall but have to wait for the NTSB to come up with the cause. It really is a small biz jet.

Oh and I’m talking like a B737 .....flew the B737 sim and depending on weight landing, speed is between 160 and 135kts but usually best speed is 140kts. Again, do not know what was happening in this accident.
