Synopsis

EMB-505/300 Captain reported the Speed brake/Spoilers/Ground Spoilers became inoperative during the arrival phase. The pilot ask for and received the longer runway. A safe landing was accomplished.

Narrative

Prior to takeoff at the departure airport we successfully accomplished the test of the multi-function spoilers (roll spoiler; speed brakes; ground spoilers). The MFS acts as a roll spoiler/speed brake in the air and automatically as a ground spoiler on the ground after landing. During the final descent into ZZZ I extended the speed brakes to assist slowing the aircraft to meet a speed restriction. Immediately after engaging the switch to extend the speed brakes we received CAS messages for GND SPLR FAIL and SPOILER FAULT. Looking outside the speed brakes did not extend on either side. At this moment ATC gave us an instruction to proceed to a fix for the LDA approach. I reset the switch back to 'retract' position with no changes to CAS messages displayed and told the Pilot Not Flying to advise ATC we had an issue we needed to work out before starting the approach and that we wanted delay vectors or a hold. ATC gave us a heading change and deleted the speed restrictions. I asked the Pilot Not Flying to grab the QRH and we ran through it together while he calculated the corrected landing distance and speeds needed for our abnormal condition. At this time I made the decision to [advise] with ATC for a failed flight control surface and requested the longer runway than what we had first planned for. We gave ATC our fuel remaining and they told us to expect the requested runway. We went through the remaining checklists and briefed the new approach. Upon touchdown the spoilers did not extend but we had an otherwise routine landing; rollout and taxi back to parking.I believe we handled this abnormal situation exactly how we have trained for it in the simulator. We identified the problem; communicated our issue and intentions to ATC; ran the checklists; adjusted performance data; and executed the rest of the flight. The Pilot Not Flying did a fantastic job of handling delegated duties to split the workload as we worked together to prepare for this abnormal landing. I cannot think of anything I wish we had done differently with this hindsight.
