The Phenom 300 does not use FBW. The Stability Augmentation System (generic term) is digital, but there is a mechanical link to the aileron and elevator.
My understanding is the GPS and Inertial Measuring Unit (IMU) are combined. If there is a loss of GPS, the Autopilot & Yaw Dampener considers the IMU from that channel unavailable.
Only the newer Embraer 450 & Embraer 500 models are FBW aircraft. They also have side-stick controls.
