## Discrepancy

CREW REPORTED THAT ON DESCENT, RECEIVED A SPOILER FAIL MESSAGE ON THE EICAS.  THE CREW FOLLOWED THE QUICK REFERENCE HANDBOOK AND DISCOVERED THAT THEIR LANDING DISTANCE WOULD BE LONGER PER THE QUICK REFERENCE HANDBOOK AND THEY DID NOT HAVE THE CORRECT VAPP AND VREF SPEED SET ON THE PFD.  THE CREW EXECUTED A GO-AROUND, DECLARED AN EMERGENCY, AND RAN THE QUICK REFERENCE HANDBOOK ITEMS AGAIN WHILE BEING VECTORED FOR ANOTHER APPROACH.  THE AIRCRAFT LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT.  MAINTENANCE PERFORMED THE EMBRAER FIM TASK AND FOUND THE MESSAGE TO BE A TRANSITORY CONDITION PER EMB FIM 27-63-00-810-802-A.  OPERATIONAL CHECKS OF THE SPOILER SYSTEM WERE GOOD WITH NO FURTHER DEFECTS NOTED.
