Narrative:
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.
