INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
The SOP provides information and guidance for the efficient operation
of the E-Jets.
This manual is not a replacement of any of the operational manuals
required by applicable regulations such as the Airplane Flight Manual
or the Company Operations Manual.
This SOP is optimized for passenger-carrying operation in a
commercial airline environment and the philosophy behind this manual
is based on reducing crew workload while maintaining the highest
possible level of safety.
Standard operating procedures are a set of procedures that serve to
provide common ground for all crewmembers, usually unfamiliar with
each other's experience and technical capabilities. In a wellstandardized operation, another qualified pilot could replace an active
cockpit crewmember during the flight, and the operation would
continue safely and smoothly.
The Normal Procedures section presents the AFM/AOM Normal
Procedures. The intention is to eliminate any doubts regarding Flight
Standards that may occur during the operation of the airplane.
The Procedures and Techniqu es section brings operational
practices and flight profiles to a standard cockpit concept throughout
flight phases. It has directives related to how the operation should be
conducted. Topics like Crew Coordination, Captain authority and
Areas of responsibility are included.
It also contains guidelines to be observed should a specific situation
arise regardless of when and where it occurs during the flight. Topics
such as handling of the autopilot and task sharing when hand-flying
the airplane are covered in those sections.
SOPM-1755c01
Information regarding Low Visibility standardizes the procedures under

this scenario emphasizing the crew coordination and presents the
configurations approved to perform the operation with low visibility
divided in flight phases.
Emergency/Abnormal Procedures are also presented according to its
flight phase in the Procedures and Techniques section. It is
presented some AFM/AOM Emergency/Abnormal Procedures in a
detailed manner. The intention is to guide the crew on how to perform
the required tasks to correct a situation or condition. Only the QRH
procedures requiring high level of crew coordination are presented.

OPERATING
PROCEDURES
PROCEDURAL DEVIATION AND ITS

SAFETY
RELATION TO
The highest percentage of problems that generate crew-caused

accidents and incidents manifest themselves in the form of procedural
deviation. If the flight goes well, these deviations are not perceived
and in most cases are left unresolved but they become apparent
following an incident or an accident.
AIRPLANE SOPHISTICATION AND CHECKLISTS
Page 2
SOPM-1755c01
The degree of technological sophistication in the design of this family

of airplanes directly affects the checklist. On older airplanes, the flight
crew must manually select and monitor most items. In more advanced
airplanes the same items are accomplished by automatic systems that
relieve the flight crew of these tasks. Checklists for these airplanes
tend to be shorter and simpler but require a more careful task analysis
with improved monitoring skills.

PERFORMED BY
Approach Briefing ................................COMPLETE ................. PF

It is recommended the approach briefing be performed before
starting descent.
The items to be covered are: inoperative airplane components,
weather at destination/alternate airports, fuel status/delays,
runway conditions, low visibility procedures, terrain/MSA,
descent profile and missed approach procedures.
If the destination airport runway is reported to be slippery or
contaminated, it is necessary to discuss the outcome on the
landing distance during the approach briefing. The same
discussion is applicable if the crew has planned to use
additional speed for the approach due to wind/gust conditions.
If any failure that affects the required landing distance occurs in
the final approach, consider a missed approach in order to
better evaluate the situation and an appropriate runway length.
Failures that affect the landing distance are commonly
associated to brakes, ground spoilers and/or thrust reversers.
A thorough understanding by the PF and PNF of all the
applicable approach charts and NOTAMS is essential, including
taxi-in procedures.
Both pilots should set RA/BARO minimums, pre-select radios
and courses for the approach.
With VNAV engaged the PF should select the Altitude Selector
only to altitudes cleared by ATC.
For ETOPS operation the crew must perform a Fuel Crossfeed
Test in the last hour of cruise phase.

DEFINITIONS
ABNORMAL
When abnormal is used to describe a procedure or checklist, it refers
to a non-routine operation in which certain procedures or actions must
be taken to maintain an acceptable level of airworthiness for a
continued safe flight and landing. When associated with a caution
condition message, it will indicate procedures that may result in
damage to equipment if not followed. The abnormal procedures have
been written assuming oxygen masks will be donned and
communications established between crewmembers whenever oxygen
deficiency or contamination is suspected.
ACCELERATION ALTITUDE
It is defined as Level off Altitude where the climb configuration (flaps
up, final segment climb speed) is reached, with the critical engine
inoperative, and takeoff thrust on operating engines. It is the takeoff 3rd
segment and is used for level flight, acceleration and flap retraction at
a height of at least 400 ft.
ADVISORY
Used to indicate a condition that requires crew awareness and may
require subsequent or future crew action.
AFE
Above field elevation.
AREAS OF RESPONSIBILITY
SOPM-1755
Cockpit areas operated by a specific pilot. These areas exist to

improve crew coordination and a pilot must always advise the other
pilot if he is intending to operate something outside his area of
responsibility. Refer to the Operating Policies section to determine
what areas are assigned to which pilot.

AUTOMATION COMPLACENCY
Failure to monitor airplane systems due to overconfidence in
automation.
CABIN CREW
Crewmembers that report to the Pilot-in-Command and are in charge
of assuring the safety of the occupants that are not crewmembers in
all circumstances. The cabin crew is composed of Flight Attendants.
CALLOUTS
Callouts are aids in maintaining awareness of the crew as to the status
of given tasks. They are extremely important in aiding situational
awareness. Made to indicate that a system has deviated from the
assigned parameters or to describe tasks or events requiring a high
level of monitoring on highly dynamic and unstable events.
CAPTAIN OR PILOT IN COMMAND
Pilot legally responsible for the operation of the airplane and who
commands the operation of the airplane. He has the authority to take
actions, to request or to delegate any crewmember action as he finds
appropriate to improve the safety of the flight.
CAUTION
Used to indicate a hazard that if ignored could result in damage to an
airplane component or system which would make continued safe flight
improbable (Immediate crew awareness and subsequent corrective or
compensatory crew action required).
CLIMB SEQUENCE
Actions to be performed by the Pilots during initial climb phase.
CONTAMINATED RUNWAY

ongoing implementation process providing an integrated form of CRM
by incorporating CRM practices with normal and emergency SOP.
DARK AND QUIET COCKPIT
A concept used to design and operate an airplane based on the
assumption that in flight all systems are normal when the overhead,
main, glare-shield and control pedestal panels have no lights on, and
no aural warnings are taking place. This concept enforces the need of
a quiet environment inside the cockpit during most phases of flight.
DERATED TAKEOFF THRUST
A takeoff thrust level less than the maximum takeoff thrust approved
for which a separate and specific set of data exists. When operating
with a de-rated takeoff thrust, the thrust setting parameter used to
establish thrust for takeoff is presented in the AFM and is considered
an operating limit for that takeoff.

Rapid Deboarding consists of leading the passengers out of the
airplane by using normal means of deboarding such as stairways or
jetways.
READ AND DO
A checklist usage technique that consists of reading and
accomplishing each of the checklist items. The Checklist items will
follow the sequence corresponding to the sequence of actions
required.
MEMORY ITEMS
Items of the checklist that must be memorized by the flight crew and
whose execution must be carried out immediately should the
corresponding checklist become applicable (immediate action).
REJECTED TAKEOFF
A takeoff that is discontinued after takeoff thrust is set and initiation of
the takeoff roll has begun.
SILENT CHECKLIST
Performed during high workload periods. The procedure reduces the
amount of activity on the flight deck that the pilots normally have to
contend with. The crewmember executing the checklist should
announce "_______ Checklist completed" when all checklist items
have been accomplished.
The only silent checklist is the After Takeoff.

PHILOSOPHY OF OPERATION
SAFETY PRIORITY
Passenger and public safety are the highest priority.
TEAM MENTALITY
The flight and cabin crew must get along as a team. A sense of
collaboration and mutual help must prevail for the ultimate objective of
safely and efficiently completing the flight.
CAPTAINS AUTHORITY
The Captain is ultimately responsible for whatever happens to the
occupants, to the airplane or to any goods or persons outside the
airplane as result of the flight operation under his command.
The Captain must use crew resources in the most effective way and
must encourage the other crewmembers to engage in teamwork by
allowing them to participate and give suggestions whenever useful for
the execution of the flight. He must treat all crewmembers with respect
and consideration at all times.
USE OF AUTOMATION
On highly automated airplanes monitoring is as important as acting.
Monitoring skills and discipline must be enforced and checked during
training.
Pilots must be alert and avoid automation complacency generated by
the highly automated airplane systems. Usage of automation must be
well trained in order to provide workload reduction and the ability to
correlate the different scenarios and systems.

OPERATING
PROCEDURES
This manual establishes areas in the cockpit that are placed under the
responsibility of each specific cockpit crewmember.
Ground operations are divided between the Left Seat Pilot (LSP) and
the Right Seat Pilot (RSP) while in-flight operations are divided
between Pilot Flying (PF) and Pilot Not Flying (PNF). Actions outside
the crewmembers area of responsibility may be sometimes applicable
and are properly indicated in this manual or are initiated at the
discretion of the Captain.
DARK AND QUIET COCKPIT CONCEPT
The design philosophy of the airplane states that under normal flight
operation of its systems the pushbuttons and annunciators on the
overhead, main, glare-shield and control pedestal panels must be
dark (no lights).
No visual or aural warnings mean normal operation of the systems.
BRIEFINGS
All members of the crew have the right to be informed regarding
matters that affect their functions. Therefore, preflight briefings with the
cabin crew are highly recommended, as are in-flight briefings when
special non-routine procedures are to be carried out.
COMMUNICATIONS
Non-essential conversation should be avoided during high workload
flight phases.
BUTTONS CONCEPT
The normal operating position of the push in/out buttons is identified
with no light bar illuminated, regardless of switch position.
SOPM-1755
Some knobs on the overhead panel have detent protection and must
be pulled out to allow knob rotation. Knob stationary positions are
marked with a white rectangle, and knob momentary positions are
marked with a white triangle. To assure proper signal transmission
when using the selector knobs that have momentary positions, hold
the knob for at least two seconds at the positions before releasing it.

CHECKLIST PHILOSOPHY
The use of the on board checklist is based on the assumption that
both pilots have been properly trained on the type of airplane and
therefore have a thorough knowledge of the airplanes systems and
procedures.
It further assumes that they know the consequences of not performing
the right actions at the right time and in the correct order.
The crew should exercise judgment to establish the proper
coordination between Normal and Emergency/Abnormal procedures
towards the safest course of action.
NORMAL CHECKLIST
The crew must accomplish all the AOM Normal Procedures.
The Normal Checklist is just a memory aid to assist the pilots so they
do not forget actions which, if not carried out, can result in some type
of risk to the airplane, to any of its systems, to its occupants, to the
operational environment or can affect passenger comfort. Specific
regulations also ask for items to be included in the checklist.
The Normal Checklist has been divided and named according to its
specific phase.
In order to reduce the amount of activity in the cockpit during high
workload flight phases, After Takeoff checklist will be a Silent
Checklist.
In case of interruption the pilot should halt the reading, and when he
restarts it he must be sure of where he stopped. If not, the Checklist
must be read from start again.
SOPM-1755
Airplane alerting systems will attract the attention of the crew and
direct them to the appropriate action providing means for controlling
the status of the systems.

EMERGENCY/ABNORMAL PROCEDURES
MEMORY + READ AND DO
The Emergency/Abnormal Checklist will provide the procedural steps
required to resolve non-normal situations on the ground or in flight.
On modern airplanes, situations for which there are no written
procedures are likely to occur. It is not possible to develop checklists
for every condition, especially when multiple failures occur. Full
knowledge of the memory Items is mandatory. Abnormal procedures
have been written assuming oxygen masks will be donned and
communications established between crewmembers whenever oxygen
deficiency or contamination is suspected.
If multiple messages are displayed on EICAS the possible failure is
more likely to be an electrical bus, MAU or SPDA in this order of
priority.
To help identifying the root cause of these messages find on the
EICAS any message related to the systems mentioned above and
follow the procedure related to the highest priority system message.
Post-Mod. LOAD 21.2
The Root EICAS messages are highlighted by a preceding
chevron >. These messages are possible root causes for other
failures and the corrective action in most cases is to perform the
QRH procedure for these messages first.
As it does not upgrade the priority of the message, whenever a

WARNING message is triggered together with a Root EICAS
message, the procedure for the WARNING message must be
performed first.
If multiple messages are displayed on EICAS the possible failure
is more likely to be an electrical bus, MAU or SPDA in this order
of priority.

No action should be taken until the airplane flight path and

configuration are properly established and a safe altitude (400 ft or

Procedures have to be initiated on the pilot command.
Some emergency/abnormal checklists state that if a go around is
required, maintain VREF FULL + CORRECTION until the acceleration
altitude is reached. In these cases the Flight Director guidance
(VREF corrected + 20 kt in AEO condition) may be used for go
around.
In case of engine failure, fire, damage or separation at or above V1
and should there be enough time, the Captain will brief the cockpit
crew and Purser:

When airborne, items referring to throttles, fire handles, IDG switch
and engine start/stop selectors should be confirmed by both pilots
prior to be accomplished.
Exercise common sense and caution when accomplishing checklists
for multiple failures.
If more than one EICAS messages appear at same time, the crew
should perform the required checklists following the message
priority: WARNING (red), CAUTION (amber) and ADVISORY (cyan).
If more than one EICAS messages, within a category, appear at
same time the crew should analyse and define which one should be
dealt first.
In case of abnormal/emergency situation, both crew members
systematically and without delay should accomplish all memory
items in their area of responsibility.

After the procedure is completed, the pilot should revert back to the
normal checklist, and amend it with the appropriate items requested
in the abnormal checklist (e.g. different flap setting). Only the
Ditching, Forced Landing and One Engine Inoperative Approach and
Landing checklists already incorporate the normal checklists, not
requiring a reversion.
Any time an engine shutdown is needed in flight, good coordination
is essential, to avoid shutting down the incorrect engine.
NON-ANUNCIATED PROCEDURES
The Non-Annunciated checklists describe procedures referring to a
non-routine operation requiring flight crew action, due to conditions
that are not sensed by the airplanes avionics system such as an
emergency descent or emergency evacuation.
SMOKE PROCEDURES
The Smoke checklists describe procedures associated with
malfunctions that lead to a smoke in the cockpit, cabin or cargo
compartments condition. The procedures are written with bigger size
letters for easier reading.
ELECTRONIC CHECKLIST (ECL)
The main purpose of the ECL is to assist the flight crew in controlling
airplane operations. The ECL has the same contents of a paper
checklist, but its use causes a reduction in flight crew workload and a
performance improvement throughout the flight.
The most commonly made mistakes while handling a paper checklist
such as skipping an item due to an interruption or stating that an item
had been completed when it has not, are minimized with the use of
this tool.
All emergency and abnormal checklist items must be manually
checked.
SOPM-1755
Certain normal checklist items (landing gear lever, thrust levers IDLE
position, hydraulic pump knobs, brakes temperature) are automatically
checked by the ECL software based on information received from the
airplane systems and sensors, other items must be manually checked.

MONITORING OF OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE

All efforts must be made to encourage crewmembers to report any
difficulty related to human factors. This is fundamental to spot potential
flight standard deficiencies before they result in incidents or accidents.
Granting confidentiality in this process will respect the importance of
these reports. Using reports to correct and improve flight standards is
an important process of assuring the quality of flight operation.
Operational difficulties related to human factors observed during
simulator sessions, during en route supervision or anytime during
normal operation must be collected and a review board of assigned
pilots should periodically examine these reports. When the occurrence
of a difficulty in statistically significant numbers is detected, this board
must suggest changes in the training procedures or in the operating
procedures to prevent this difficulty from happening. If it becomes
evident that a crewmember or a group of them needs additional
training, he or they must be immediately removed from flight duty.
FOQA, ASAP and LOSA are examples of quality assurance processes
in use worldwide.
IF YOU CANT MEASURE IT, YOU DONT KNOW ABOUT IT.
IF YOU DONT KNOW ABOUT IT, YOU CANT FIX IT
LEGAL COVERAGE
The Company must provide information regarding legal crewmembers
responsibilities, especially that of the pilot-in-command, when it comes
to liabilities resulting from legal violations, incidents and accidents.
The crewmembers must be informed about the legal implications of
their acts and statements as well as how to proceed in case of
abnormal situations such as in case of incidents and accidents as well
as in situations involving law enforcement authorities. The information
made available to crewmembers is especially important in case of
flights to countries other than the country the company is located at.
SOPM-1755
Should a legal dispute arise as a consequence of the operation of a

company airplane, the company must take all measures to make sure
that crewmembers are not unfairly or improperly charged and do not
suffer negative consequences that are unduly or unfairly imposed
upon them. This company attitude is important to encourage flight
crews to act in a rightful rather than in a "trouble-avoiding" manner.

USE OF THE FLIGHT DIRECTOR

Flight Director should be used and updated at all times. The PF can
request the PNF to perform the tasks required to maintain the Flight
Director updated with the maneuvers performed.
If the Flight Director is not synchronized with the actual airplanes
maneuver it must be updated or turned off.
Removal of the FD cue pressing FD Button on the Guidance Panel
does not turn off the Flight Director.
Post-Mod. LOAD 23.1
When the FD is selected OFF with the Autopilot disengaged on
the source side, the Flight Director modes are disengaged and
the autothrottle reverts to the basic default control mode (SPDt).
When FPA is the active mode you need to press FPA button once to
deactivate the FD.
Having any other vertical mode active, select ALT SEL to an altitude
different from the actual altitude, and press FPA button twice. Then
select ALT SEL to the altitude applicable to the flight phase.
This will remove all FD modes from the FMA.
USE OF THE MCDU
MCDU usage must be coordinated in all flight phases (VHF frequency
tuning and navigation, performance, progress monitoring and
changes). Whenever entering a new route, it is the crews
responsibility to check all the waypoints for correct coordinates and
associated navigation aids. It is recommended that one pilot enter the
flight plan and the other pilot check the data entered.
Below 10000 ft AFE, MCDU changes should be made by the PNF and
executed only after confirmation by the PF. If necessary, revert to
basic Autopilot/FD modes to avoid heads down time during high
workload flight phases.

GENERAL
It is recommended the engagement of the autopilot after first vertical

mode is engaged and disengagement at traffic pattern altitude for a
visual approach or at MDA/DA/DH during an instrument approach (if
not performing an auto land or a go around).
The amount of automation to be used during each phase of flight
should be determined by the PF.
Pilots must always be alert and monitor the autopilot. Normally high
level of automation induces crews to stay out of the loop, with
excessive confidence on auto flight systems.
USE OF THE AUTOTHROTTLE
The autothrottle should be used during the entire flight, engaged just
prior to takeoff and disengaged after touch down or at the PFs
discretion.
Pilots must always be alert and monitor the autothrottle operation
checking the movement of the thrust levers in the correct direction.
Normally high level of automation induces crews to stay out of the
loop, with excessive confidence on automatic flight systems.
USE OF THE HGS
The HGS system interfaces with other aircraft systems to generate
and project information to be used as a supplemental primary flight
display in all phases of flight.
The task sharing between PF and PNF remains unchanged.
SINGLE CONFIGURATION
In a single configuration the LSP uses the HGS as a primary flight
display and when acting as PNF includes the MFD and EICAS on the
monitoring scan.
If the HGS fails in flight above 1000 ft AGL, the PF should immediately
transition to the PFD and continue the flight. In this case the penalties
and type of approaches available must be considered and discussed
on the approach briefing.
SOPM-1755
If the failure on the HGS occurs below 1000 ft AGL, the PF should
transition to the PFD and perform a go-around unless a visual contact
with the runway has been established.

DUAL CONFIGURATION
In a dual configuration the PF uses the HGS as the primary flight

If the HGS fails in flight above 500 ft AGL, the PF should immediately
transition to the PFD until the PNF is able to take over the controls and
continue the flight.
WEATHER RADAR
The weather radar should always be used for night operations and
anytime it is necessary at the crews judgment.
During slaved weather radar operations, the pilot operating the radar
should inform any change before its execution, since it will affect the
other pilots presentation as well. If the radar is to be operated in any
mode other than STBY while the airplane is on the ground, some
restrictions listed in the AOM apply.
In heavy weather areas where the use of radar is essential for the
safety of the flight, the display refresh rate may be improved turning
the PNF side to slaved mode.
PFD/EICAS
Precision approaches should be flown with ILS indications on both
sides. VOR and NDB approaches should use some form of raw data
to cross check FMS information. RNAV and GPS approaches should
always be done after making sure equipment performance is within
limits and local regulations were considered.
EICAS messages should always be announced when displayed.
When more than one message is displayed careful consideration
should be applied in order to prioritize actions.
TCAS
SOPM-1755
Compliance with TCAS resolution advisory is required unless the pilot

considers it unsafe to do so. Maneuvers that are in the opposite
direction of the RA are extremely hazardous, especially RAs involving
altitude crossing and thus are prohibited unless it is visually

WINDSHEAR
The most important policy is to avoid a windshear. Although windshear
detection and annunciation system is installed, pilots may not perceive
that an area of a potential windshear could be encountered ahead.
Therefore some aids must be used by flight crews to develop an
awareness of windshear causes and perceive danger signals to
successfully avoid it. The following information can be used:
-
Presence of thunderstorms, microburst, convective clouds or

squall lines;
Visual observation of strong winds near the ground;
Onboard weather radar;
Pilots or Air Traffic Services reports;
Windshear escape guidance is provided by the FGCS Flight Director

function, and is annunciated as WSHR in green in the vertical flight
mode annunciator field when active. ROLL becomes the active lateral
mode and the autopilot disconnects when windshear escape guidance
is activated.
Windshear detection is enabled between 10 ft and 1500 ft AGL, and
escape guidance may be initiated when the following conditions are
met:
-
Manually when a windshear Caution or Warning is detected

and the pilot presses the TOGA pushbutton;
When a windshear Warning is detected and Thrust Lever
Angle > 70 degrees (70 degrees TLA is the TOGA detent/flat);
Automatically when the AFCS flight director mode is in Takeoff
or Go-Around mode and a windshear Warning is detected.

another mode in order to exit windshear escape guidance, and the
ability to successfully transition to another vertical guidance mode
requires that the activation criteria described above be false.
When a windshear Caution or Warning is issued by the EGPWM, the
FADEC cancels any flex or derated thrust requirements.
SOPM-1755
When following the windshear escape guidance, moving the thrust

levers to MAX position will set the engine thrust to GA-RSV.

ETOPS
It is a special operational certification to permit flights with twin-engine
airplanes to fly on routes beyond certain distances at approved OEI
cruise speed (standard conditions in still air) from an adequate airport.
ETOPS Regulations are applicable to over water routes, as well as
remote lands areas.
The very first benefit of ETOPS rules is the allowance of more direct
routes, as well as fuel saving and time for routes with points beyond
certain distances. Another ETOPS benefit is the possibility to fly routes
previously denied for twin engine airplanes.
The type-design reliability and performance of the EMBRAER 190
(airplane-engine combination) has been evaluated under 14 CFR
25.1535 and found suitable for 120 minutes extended operations
(ETOPS) when the configuration, maintenance, and procedures
standard contained in the Document CMP-2925 Configuration,
Maintenance and Procedures for Extended Range Operations are
met.
ETOPS PROCEDURES
The first crew procedures recommended for ETOPS operation is to
select ETOPS on MCDU to prepare all aircraft systems for ETOPS,
start the APU after powering up and make it run throughout the whole
ETOPS area until the exit point. If HF is the valid communication
system adequate for the intended route, test its capability. Before
Engines start, once a day, a check of the Ejector Fuel Pump Check
Valve is required.
However, the responsibility for preparing and following a perfect flight
plan, as well as monitoring weather, fuel and system status has
increased importance.

STANDARD
OPERATING
PROCEDURES
PROCEDURES AND
TECHNIQUES
GENERAL
Before starting, a systematic flight plan check is recommended. As the

flight progresses, before any ETOPS entry point, the crew must check
airplane systems general condition, evaluate ETOPS capability
according to the AOM SUPPLEMENTARY PROCEDURES
ETOPS and obtain weather reports and forecasts for ETOPS
alternates for the times established in the regulations. Landing
distances, airport services and facilities at designated en-route
suitable alternates should also be evaluated. If any conditions are
identified, such as weather forecast below landing minima, which
would preclude safe approach and landing, then the pilot should be
notified and acceptable alternates selected where safe approach and
landing can be made.
Fuel monitoring in-flight is just like airline policies even though there
are no requirements in the ETOPS rules to reach the critical point with
the Fuel On Board being at least equal to the fuel required by the
critical fuel scenario.
As in any ordinary flight, any situation arising will make the crew to
decide whether to proceed, divert or turn back. The crew must
evaluate the conditions and decide the proper course of action to take.
In the decision making process, considerations like loss of
communication and navigation capability, excessive fuel consumption
exceeding available fuel reserves and diversion airport becoming
unsuitable should be taken into account. Some failure cases, however,
will render the divertion inevitable, such as engine fire or flameout,
APU flameout for ETOPS 120-minute, cargo compartment fire, and
loss of pressurization. If weather forecasts are lower than the normal
crew minima, then re-routing is required, or turnback if no route at the
authorized distance from an en-route alternate airport can be used.
SOPM-1755
The diversion airport, the diversion speed and altitude are also crew
choices. If it is the crew conclusion that it is better to fly at a speed
different from that prescribed by the ETOPS diversion, then they may
deviate and fly at the best speed for the prevailing conditions. If time is
constraining, flying at the Maximum Continuous rating at the highest
possible altitude is the best choice. If time is not the constraint, flying
at the lower thrust will result in longer diversion time at lower altitude.

to the point where the airplane leaves the runway after landing at pilots
discretion.
STROBE lights must be ON from the moment the airplane enters the
runway for takeoff to the point where the airplane leaves the runway
after landing.
LANDING lights must be ON for takeoff and landing, when below
10000 ft AFE and inside congested areas.
INSPECTION lights must be used when visual inspection of the wing
surfaces is required.
PILOT INCAPACITATION
Pilot incapacitation is a possibility in all age groups and during all flight
phases, ranging from sudden death to partial loss of mental or
physical performance. Proper crew coordination involves checks and
crosschecks using verbal communications and standard operating
procedures to detect this problem.
Failure of any crewmember to respond to a second request or a
checklist will be considered a pilot incapacitation condition and crew
action is immediately required.
CREW ACTION
Page 14
SOPM-1755
If one pilot confirms that the remaining pilot is incapacitated, he/she

shall take over checking the position of essential controls and
switches. An emergency should be declared and the autopilot used to

GENERAL
After the autopilot is engaged and the airplane is under control, notify
and utilize the cabin crew. If practicable, try to restrain the
incapacitated pilot and slide the seat to the full back position. The
shoulder harness lock may be used to restrain the incapacitated pilot.
Request assistance from any medically qualified passenger and
consider using help from other pilots or crewmembers who may be
among the passengers.
Consider landing at the nearest suitable airport.
APPROACHES
The airplane must be on a stabilized approach, that is, on the
Approach Speed plus applicable additives, on the proper flight path,
with the proper sink rate and with the thrust stabilized no lower than
1000 ft AFE when operating under IMC and 500 ft AFE for VMC
operations. A go around is required anytime these criteria are not
satisfied.
BRAKES USAGE
In order to reduce carbon brake wear, avoid applying the brakes too
often during taxiing cold brakes procedures. Wear is far more related
to the number of applications than to the energy applied. Carbon
brakes wear less when operated at high temperatures.
THRUST REVERSER
Upon landing, if thrust reversers have been used, reverser should be
set to MIN REV at 60 kt, and be closed by 30 kt. Full thrust reverser
should be used when landing on contaminated runways. During RTO
the thrust reverser can be used until the airplane comes to a complete
stop.
TOW BAR
SOPM-1755
If towing is to be performed without trained ground personnel, the pilot

is responsible for orienting and following the tow bar installation,
correct usage and stowage.

ENGINE START
Prior to engine start, obtain ATC and ground personnel clearance and
check if the jet way and stairs are removed and the doors are closed.
Engine start may be performed simultaneously with the push back
procedure, requiring the parking brake released and disengagement of
the steering (verify STEER OFF EICAS message). In case of a static
engine start be sure that the parking brake is set.
ENGINE WARM UP
In order to allow thermal stabilization of the engines, operate them at
or near to IDLE for at least 2 minutes before selecting higher thrust
settings. Taxi time at or near IDLE can be included in the warm up
period.
NO BREAK POWER TRANSFER (NBPT)
To avoid power interruptions, it is recommended to wait 30 seconds
after the N2 stabilizes before shutting the APU down or GPU
disconnection, or to use the Electrical Synoptic Page to follow the
power transfer.
ICING, COLD WEATHER AND COLD SOAK CONDITIONS
Do not start the engine until it has been checked that all ice deposits
have been removed from the air inlet.
Perform normal engine start. If the engine does not start, maintenance
procedures may be required or ground heating may be necessary to
warm the nacelle, Air Turbine Starter (ATS) and Starting Control Valve
(SCV).
SOPM-1755
During start with low oil temperatures, the oil pressure may drop below
the minimum oil pressure levels temporarily after start. If the oil
pressure remains below minimum levels for more than 2 min, the
engine must be shut down and the oil heated. In this case, in order to
improve the chances of a successful engine start, the oil temperature
should be raised to at least -20C. During the subsequent start after
heating the oil, if the oil pressure does not recover, the engine must be
shut down and the cause investigated.
NOTE: - For EMBRAER 190/195 equipped with FADEC Version 5.32,
during a cold soaked start in ambient temperatures lower
than -2C, dual ignition and increased starting fuel flow
schedule take place to provide greater torque during engine
on ground starts.

TAXI
GENERAL
Before the taxi out sequence the flight crew shall have the After Start
Checklist completed thoroughly. This procedure is also applied for
single engine taxi out.
Prior to taxi both pilots have to:
-
Adjust the seats and rudder pedals;

Check the actual airplane parking position;
Verify the airport related charts for possible taxi routes;
If applicable write and brief the taxi clearance when received;
Turn on the taxi light and after parking brake release check normal
brakes.
During taxi:
-
Follow the ATC taxi instructions and check the differences

from the initial briefing when applicable;
Use standard phraseology and read back ATC instructions.
Flight crews should minimize heads-down activities such as entering

data into the FMS while the airplane is moving. Briefing the taxi route
will reduce the cockpit workload. ATC should be contacted anytime
there is a concern about a potential conflict.
Avoid taxiing closely behind other airplane where FOD may be blown.
LOAD SHED EICAS message may be displayed on ground if airplane
is powered by only one AC power source and indicated airspeed is at
or above 50 kt.
TAXI SPEEDS AND BRAKING
Recommended taxi speed:
-
Straight / DRY: 30 kt
Straight / WET or CONTAMINATED: 10 kt
Turns / DRY: 10 kt

Page 6
SOPM-1755
For EMBRAER 190/195 at speeds between 17 kt and 21 kt, a slight

At idle thrust, the airplane may accelerate to a higher taxi speed than

CARBON BRAKES
The carbon brake assembly on the E-JETS family has a carbon brake
heat sink. This differs from traditional steel brakes since carbon brake
wear is strongly affected by brake temperature. Carbon brakes wear
less when operated at high temperatures while steel brakes wear less
when operated at low temperatures.
Overnight or long period parking in cold weather:
Avoid leaving the parking brake set. This will decrease the
chances of having brake stacks frozen together in case
moisture was present prior brake application.
General rules for carbon brakes:
During taxi, minimize the duration of each brake application

when practical by using shorter applications with higher
pressure on the pedals.
Avoid using brakes asymmetrically.
Number of brake applications:
Minimize the number of brake applications when practical.

The number of brake applications governs carbon brake
wear.
Taxi when brakes are cold:
Do not intentionally use the brakes solely to heat them.
Carefully manage taxi speed. Let airplane accelerate to a

maximum safe speed, then use the brakes in one
increasingly firm application to slow the airplane. Then
release the brakes and allow the airplane to accelerate
again. Less frequent use of brakes with higher braking
pressure improves brake life.
Taxi when brakes are warm:

Carefully manage taxi speed. Let airplane accelerate to a
maximum safe speed then use brakes in a short but firm
application. This will help keep the brake within operating
temperature range limits by allowing more cooling time and
less brake friction time.

INFLUENCES ON TIRE WEAR
Tire inflation: An increase or decrease in pressure from the

specified operational value can cause deterioration on the tire,
and have the most important effect on the tire life.
Airport conditions: Pavement surfaces texture significantly

contributes to tire wear, which tends to increase when runways,
taxi strips, ramps and other paved field areas are in bad
condition, strewn with debris, contaminated (with hydraulic fluid,
fuel, oil, grease, etc) or poorly maintained. Tires are more
susceptible to increase wear in airports where longer taxi
distances are required.
Environmental conditions: Tires are more susceptible to a higher

wear rate when the aircraft operates in hot temperatures
combined with low relative humidity.
Average takeoff and landing weight: Tires are more susceptible to

a higher wear rate when the aircraft operates regularly at higher
average take-off and landing weight.
Flight leg time and turn around time (TAT): Lower flight leg time
and lower TAT have influence in the Tire wear rate. In this
scenario the tires work in higher temperatures.
Temperature between departure and arrival airport: High

differences of temperature between departure and arrival airports
could also influence in the tire wear when proper inflation
adjustment is not observed.
THRUST USE DURING TAXI

Taxi can normally be initiated without increasing thrust at light to
medium weights. Increase the thrust smoothly until the airplane starts
moving to avoid a setting higher than needed.
For economic and environmental reasons, FOD prevention, damage to
other airplane and equipment in close proximity of the airplane, etc., it
is desirable to limit the thrust to 40% N1 as much as possible and
avoid rapid accelerations and decelerations. For normal operations a
setting around 30% N1 will be enough for ground maneuvering.

RUDDER/STEERING USE AND TURNING RADIUS

For straight ahead taxiing or for small changes of direction, the use of
rudder pedal steering mode may be used. The maximum steering
angle of rudder pedal is +/- 7.
At speeds between 20 kt and 40 kt use the steering handle only if
necessary and exercise care as at these speeds the steering handle is
very responsive.
Handwheel steering mode should be used for wider turn angles. To
operate in this mode the handle must be kept pressed otherwise the
system reverts to rudder pedals. Whenever the handle is pressed, the
system reverts back to the handwheel steering. The wheel deflection
as function of handle deflection is not linear. For detailed information
refer to AOM section 14-13.
Let the airplane move a little forward before starting a turn and avoid
stopping the airplane in a turn as excessive thrust will be required to
start taxiing again. After completing a turn and prior to stopping, center
the nosewheel and allow the airplane to roll straight ahead for a short
distance.
Nosewheel skidding may occur with:
- Excessive steering angle;

- High taxi speed during turns;
- On wet surfaces during turn.
When taxiing, make turns with the largest feasible turn radius possible.
The minimum turn radius should still allow the tire closer to the center
of the turn to continue rolling. When making a tight turn, the tires are
subject to high lateral loads and can experience damage. Asymmetric
thrust may be used in tight turns to minimize side loads on gear and
tires.
Minimize thrust assist from outboard engine in 180 turn, particularly if
outboard engine overhangs dusty areas next to the taxiway.
SOPM-1755
The tail tip has the largest arc while turning and determines the
minimum obstruction clearance path.

SINGLE ENGINE TAXI

To improve fuel savings a single engine taxi can be used, delaying the
start of the second engine prior to takeoff and/or shutting one engine
just after landing when taxiing in.
Single engine taxi may be performed when operating under icing
conditions provided that the Engine Run-Up procedure is used before
takeoff. However, single engine taxi should be avoided when operating
on slippery or contaminated taxiways.
When performing a single engine taxi with the engine 2 running, the
Electric Hydraulic Pump 1 Selector knob must be set to ON to ensure
that the hydraulic system 1 is pressurized.
Consider airplane weight, uphill slopes, time to warm up and cool
down the engine and time to the active runway to perform this
procedure. Smoothly increase thrust to move the airplane until
sufficient forward speed has been attained. If possible, start slight turn
in the direction of the non-operating engine. There will be less stress in
nose gear structure, otherwise a higher thrust setting will be necessary
with the incoming risks of the jet blast and foreign object ingestion in
the engine. Consider to evaluate the turns along the taxi route for the
election of the engine to be shut down when taxing.
Maintain constant pressure on the tiller, due to asymmetric thrust
during taxi. The appropriate taxi speed depends on the turn radius and
surface condition.
If performing the Flight Controls Check with one engine only, check
one surface at a time (aileron, rudder or elevator) to avoid spurious
FLT CTRL NO DISPATCH message display.
SECOND ENGINE START
The engine start should be preferably performed with the airplane
static to avoid heads down condition during taxi.
Prior to takeoff, the second engine warm up cycle must be performed
by keeping the engine running at or near IDLE for at least 2 minutes
before selecting high thrust settings.

This procedure is necessary to ensure that battery 2 is available to the

airplanes electrical network as a back-up and not isolated for APU
start only.
ENGINE 1 SHUTDOWN
In order to maintain hydraulic pressure on both brake systems the
Electric Hydraulic Pump 1 must be kept ON throughout the taxi.
For single engine taxi procedure, refer to AOM 1502 Section 3-70.
TAXI UNDER ADVERSE WEATHER
Taxi on a wet or contaminated surface requires lower speeds. Use the
nose wheel steering with caution to avoid skidding during turns.
During cold weather, use minimum thrust for breakaway and taxiing, to
avoid blowing snow or slush on personnel or airplanes nearby.
Use firm brake pressure on taxi stops whenever pavement conditions
permit in order to warm up the brakes and dry moisture buildup within
the disk stack. Anti-skid protection is not provided below 10 kt, so
apply brakes accordingly.
For EMBRAER 170/175 during ground operations of more than 30 min
(including taxi in and taxi out) in icing conditions, or if increased fan
vibration due to fan ice accumulation is present, it is recommended
that the engine thrust level be increased at 30 min intervals to
approximately 54% N1 and held at that thrust level for 30 s or until fan
vibration level returns to normal. If airport surface conditions and the
concentration of airplanes do not permit the engine thrust level to be
increased to 54%, then set a thrust level and time at that thrust level
as high as practical.
SOPM-1755
For EMBRAER 190/195 during ground operations of more than 30 min

that thrust level for 30 s or until fan vibe level returns to normal. The
engine must be run up momentarily at intervals not to exceed 30 min.
During taxi, cold set (the condition where the tire retains the flat
shape it had while parked) may induce vibration in the airplane.
Vibration should disappear as the tires recover their elasticity during
taxi. Turns should be performed at the largest turning radius,
preferably at a speed which do not required braking during the turn.
Maintain a greater than normal distance behind other airplanes while
taxiing in snow or slush-covered runways, to avoid contamination by
snow blown by jet blasts.
During low visibility or unfamiliar airport operation observe the ground
markings and consider requesting a FOLLOW ME vehicle to proceed
taxiing safely.

GENERAL
Before the takeoff sequence the flight crew shall have the Before

Takeoff briefing shall be performed prior to engines start in order to not
interfere with takeoff preparation. The briefing shall cover all actions
for both normal, such as flaps and autobrake settings, and non-normal
takeoff procedures expected to be used during the takeoff phase.
Additional briefing items may be required when different elements
exist, such as adverse weather, runway in use, runway conditions,
noise abatement requirements, dispatch using the Minimum
Equipment List (MEL), terrain clearance, special engine failure
departure procedure or any other situation or special consideration
that differ from routine.
Some types of techniques can be used in the takeoff phase, the types
described below are definitions used in the day by day operation.
Normal Takeoff up to 10 kt tail wind: Pilot lines up the airplane on
the runway, applies brakes and adjusts thrust to 40% N1, when
engines stabilize at 40% N1, releases brakes and advances thrust
levers to TOGA detent.
NOTE: For normal takeoff with tailwind up to 10 kt, performance

Normal Takeoff with tailwind above 10 kt (If allo wed by AFM):
Refer to TAIL WIND TAKEOFF of this section.
Static Takeoff: Pilot lines up the airplane on the runway, applies
brakes, adjusts thrust to 40% N1, when engines stabilize at 40% N1,
advances thrust levers to TOGA detent. Release the brakes when the
takeoff thrust (N1 target) is achieved.
NOTE: Due to the possibility of compressor stall, a static takeoff is
not recommended with a crosswind greater than 25 kt.

TAKEOFF WITH LNAV, VNAV AND FMS SPEEDS

After takeoff LNAV will engage at 200 ft AGL and VNAV at 400 ft AGL
with engine thrust mode changing to CLIMB. FMS speeds should be
adjusted at V2 + 10 kt at DEP/APP Speeds page on MCDU during its
preparation on ground. The acceleration height also should be
inserted at this page and the distance increased to avoid acceleration
below the intended height. Considering a Normal Takeoff that, upon
liftoff the landing gear is retracted and after passing 400 ft the AP can
be engaged, the only action will be the flap/slat retraction.
In case of engine failure/fire at V1, select HDG/BANK after LNAV
engagement. At 400 ft select manual speed and set speed bug to the
current speed (V2 to V2 + 10 kt). At acceleration height set VFS and
follow the standard procedure for engine fail/fire.
NOTE: - When using VNAV, if any altitude constraint is presented on
the MCDU and ATC clear to climb with no restrictions, the
constraint should be deleted to avoid a non intended level
off.
- A different climb speed schedule for initial climb can be
modified on the FMS to allow a continuous operation of FMS
speeds whenever it is intended.
CAUTION: TAKEOFF WITH VNAV ENGAGED ON GROUND MUST
BE USED ONLY WHEN ACCELERATION ALTITUDE IS
400 FT.
SLAT/FLAP RETRACTION
Flap retraction should be accomplished after the specified acceleration
altitude is reached. The minimum acceleration altitude for Slat/Flap
retraction is 400 ft.
The flaps should be retracted using the flap retraction speed reference
F-BUG and pitch angle adjusted to maintain a slight rate of climb.
After Slat/Flap retraction is complete, accelerate to normal en route
climb speed.

FLEX TAKEOFF
This method is also known as assumed temperature takeoff thrust. A
Takeoff with less thrust than the maximum takeoff thrust will be used.
When operating with flex takeoff thrust, thrust setting parameters used
to establish thrust for takeoff are not considered as operating limits;
thrust may be restored to the maximum available level during the
takeoff if REF ATTCS was set to ON during takeoff data setting and at
least one of the following events occur:
-
Difference between both engine N1 values is greater than

15%;
OEI (One Engine Inoperative);
Associated Thrust Lever is moved to MAX detent;
Windshear is detected.
This method may be combined with derated takeoff thrust in order to

provide larger thrust reductions and thus reducing severity of
operations. Less severe operation means lower:
-
Fuel flow degradation rate, reducing fuel burn over the onwing life of engine;
Inter Turbine Temperature (ITT) degradation rate (Increases
time-on-wing);
Maintenance costs, reducing shop visit rate and cost per shop
visit.
SOPM-1755
NOTE: The use of this method is prohibited on contaminated

runways.

TAKEOFF RUN AND THRUST SETTINGS

Align the airplane using as reference the runway center line. During
takeoff run, pedals should be used to steer the airplane. The use of
nose wheel steering is not recommended during takeoff run because
of its high efficiency, which might lead to airplane overreaction. As the
groundspeed increases, nose wheel steering authority decreases and
the rudder becomes more effective.
The takeoff (TO) mode is a FD only mode and is represented by
crossbars on the PFD. The TO mode commands the airplane to
maintain a pitch attitude reference.
NOTE: AP should be engaged after selecting a lateral and vertical
mode in order to prevent the AFCS from reverting to the
basic modes, ROLL and FPA.
When the airplane is lined up and ready for takeoff, arm the AT.
Advance the thrust levers to 40% N1, the engines should stabilize
momentarily and power settings shall be verified before both throttles
are advanced beyond 50 TLA. Advance thrust levers to TOGA detent
and verify that N1 reaches takeoff thrust (N1 target), engine
parameters are normal and ATTCS set as required.
The AT will take over above 50 TLA advancing the thrust levers to the
TOGA detent. If any AT malfunction occurs, the AT should be
disconnected and desired thrust set manually. If manually setting the
thrust, advance thrust levers smoothly towards takeoff thrust and
make the final thrust adjustment. ROLL indication changes to TRACK
when the airplane is above 100 kt during takeoff run.
The ENG TLA NOT TOGA EICAS message is displayed anytime
during the takeoff with the thrust levers out of the position TO/GA.
Make sure that the thrust levers are set to TOGA position before 60 kt,
when HOLD mode is activated, even if the N1 has already reached the
takeoff thrust (N1 target). In this case the thrust levers can be
advanced without increase in N1.
SOPM-1755
After takeoff thrust has been set, the LSP will take control over the
thrust levers until V1 is announced as he/she is always responsible for
aborting the takeoff. All abnormalities during the takeoff run must be
called out in a loud and clear voice.

REJECTED TAKEOFF - RTO

During the takeoff phase, a RTO procedure should be initiated, prior to
V1, if any adverse or abnormal event occurs that could affect the safety
of flight. Many faults can cause a decision to reject, like engine fire,
engine failure and some other system faults or events. As adequate
decision to reject is taken, the RTO should never be delayed, due to
the risk of a runway overrun, because it takes a few seconds for the
engines to spool down to idle thrust.
A successful RTO depends on:
-
Accurate alert and monitoring during all takeoff phase;

Captains timely decision;
All callouts made on a loud, clear and precise communication
way;
Adequate briefing, procedures and coordination.
RESPONSIBILITY
Whoever first identifies the undesirable event or malfunction must
announce it, but the decision to perform a RTO is the captains
responsibility. The RTO must be immediately initiated.
ACTIONS
-
The use of maximum manual braking on wet or dry runways

generally improves the allowable takeoff weight but requires
immediate braking action by the pilot during a rejected takeoff.
However, operationally speaking the Autobrake set at RTO
will help the pilot reducing the workload on the initial reject
takeoff maneuver. If the takeoff runway available is limited by
performance, the pilot shall manually override the Autobrake
as soon as practical and apply maximum braking.
SOPM-1755
Actions are to be taken considering that, during all takeoff

procedures, the LSP should keep his hand on the thrust levers
until V1 has been reached;
Once the RTO decision has been made, the first action is to
set thrust levers idle , disconnect the Auto Throttle, verify Auto
Brake actuation or manually apply maximum brakes and apply
reverse thrust as required;

NOTE: If a RTO is performed below 60 kt (before HOLD is

the thrust levers back to TOGA detent if both throttles are
moved to a position above 40 degrees TLA. If throttles are
moved below 40 degrees TLA or reverse thrust is applied
during a RTO, the AT will disconnect.
-
Directional control must be kept by applying rudder pedal

steering;
Monitor airplane deceleration, cancel any aural warnings upon

malfunction identification, verify reverse thrust status and
advise ATC;
At 60 kt or below, thrust lever (s) can be smoothly returned to
minimum reverse, then to idle at 30 kt, or kept on reverse until
airplane comes to a complete stop, considering airplane
speed, runway length available, slippery surfaces with ice,
snow etc;
Page 2
The airplane should remain on the runway until it is absolutely

clear that an emergency evacuation is not necessary and the
whole scenario analyzed. If necessary, external aids should
be requested or the runway vacated to a safe position
according to ATC instructions;
If RTO decision was taken due to fire, take into consideration
to position the airplane so that fire is on the downwind of
fuselage;
If a decision to proceed to a new take-off is made just after a
RTO all the FMS initialization data has to be verified and
confirmed if the 80 KIAS has been exceeded.

The sooner an RTO decision is taken, the greater is the

chance to safely stop within runway limits. RTO above V1 may
lead to a runway overrun and is the main cause of overrun
accidents;
Low energy speed is considered up to, approximately, 80 kt;
During takeoff, the 80 kt callout has three main proposes: pilot
incapacitation check, airspeed crosscheck and the transition
from Low to High Energy speed;
For High energy speeds only reject the takeoff if there is a
malfunction that severely affects the flight safety;
Upon reaching V1 and if no decision has been taken, continue
the takeoff since there is no assurance that the airplane is
capable to stop within the remaining runway length.

CROSSWIND TAKEOFF
The airplane has a good crosswind control capability during takeoff.
There is no special related procedure, just maintain directional control
using positive rudder and small control wheel inputs.
Runway alignment and smooth symmetrical thrust application are
strongly recommended when operating at contaminated runways.
At low speed use the rudder pedal steering to maintain runway
centerline until the rudder becomes effective. Directional deviation
should be corrected immediately with smooth and positive control
inputs.
The ailerons become more effective as the airplane accelerates.
Command control wheel into the wind to maintain wings level
throughout the takeoff run. This control wheel input will decrease as
speed increases. Over control can be avoided by using smooth rudder
control and small control wheel inputs.
In case of strong crosswind, small lateral control wheel input may be
used. Control wheel displacement greater than 4 results in increase in
drag due to spoilers deployment. During rotation, maintain control
wheel in the displaced position to keep the wings level during liftoff
and smoothly recover from the sideslip by slowly neutralizing the
control wheel and rudder pedals after liftoff.
TAIL WIND TAKEOFF

The tailwind takeoff technique is basically the same as for any other
takeoff. Use normal rotation rate and target pitch to avoid fuselage
body contact with the runway and consider the use of full takeoff
thrust.
Special attention should be given if tailwind component increases
during liftoff.
TAKEOFF WITH TAILWIND ABOVE 10 KT
This procedure is applied to EMBRAER 190 and EMBRAER 195
airplanes certified for takeoff and landing operations with tailwind from
10 kt to 15 kt.

TAIL STRIKE CONSIDERATIONS

Although tail strikes are more common during landing phase of flight, it
may also occur during takeoff and may cause extensive structural
damage. The major causes identified of a tail strike during takeoffs
are:
- Improper Stabilizer Trim
A mistrimmed stabilizer may be a result of an erroneous input
data, like loading weights for load sheet calculation or even an
incorrect stab trim setting. In any case, the stabilizer could be
wrongly set to nose up which may induce the airplane attempting
to fly before V1.
- Improper Rotation Speed
Wrong speed computations or early rotation could result in nose
up without wing lift enough to fly exposing the airplane to a tail
strike.
- Excessive Rotation Rate
Initiate rotation at VR at approximately 3/sec, smoothly, towards
the flight director angle. Rotation at a pitch higher than normal
and inappropriate flight director use during rotation increase the
risk of tail strike.
TAIL STRIKE AVOIDANCE (TSA)
Tail Strike Avoidance (TSA) function is a fly-by-wire feature designed
for EMBRAER 190 and EMBRAER 195 to avoid tail strikes. During
Takeoff TSA function controls airplane pitch angle by reducing control
column authority in the nose up direction.
Be aware that TSA function is not capable to protect the airplane from
tail strikes in over abused rotation.

TSA operation is limited up to 20 ft.

NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES

Noise abatement procedures minimize the overall exposure to noise
on the ground and at the same time maintain the required levels of
flight safety. There are several methods, including preferential
runways and routes, as well as noise abatement procedures for takeoff, approach and landing. The appropriateness of any of the
procedures depends on the physical layout of the airport and its
surroundings, but in all cases it must be given all priority to safety
considerations.
Pilots are required to adhere to the noise abatement procedures
published specifically for each airport. There are different procedures
for noise abatement, and the items listed below are just a guide to help
pilots to perform a takeoff with noise reduction:
- Set speed required for the procedure on SPEED Selector Knob
or FMS DEP/APP SPD page.
- If using FMS SPEED, set on FMS DEP/APP SPD page 3000 ft as
the vertical limit and 15 NM as the horizontal limit.
- Fly the airplane manually and select a Flight Director Vertical
Mode when takeoff thrust is no longer required.
- If the Autopilot is to be used, the Autopilot can be engaged only
after selecting the desired vertical mode.
The DEPARTURE SPEED page is accessed on the MCDU trough the
DEP/APP SPD prompt on the PERFORMANCE INIT page 1/3. This
page is used to enter departure speed restriction and vertical and
horizontal limits. This data is used to compute FMS speed commands
during departure.
The DEPARTURE SPEED on the MCDU has the following fields:
-
Speed Limit: The crew should adjust this value to speed limit
of the applicable noise abatement procedure.
AGL Limit: This field is used to enter the vertical limit of the
departure area.
NM Limit: This field is used to enter the horizontal limit of the
departure area.
SOPM-1755
NOTE: - The FMS departure speed limit functionality will command

the speed restriction during takeoff only when the airplane is
flying inside the vertical and horizontal limits defined on the
DEPARTURE SPEED page.

assume the pilot flying responsibility, assuming that the operatortraining program supports this assignment. Successful low visibility
takeoff requires crew coordination.
To maintain proficiency, it is recommended to use HGS low visibility

TAKEOFF
During a low-visibility takeoff, taxiing the airplane into takeoff position

over the runway centerline, given that all requirements for the display
of the HGS Guidance Cue are present, the Guidance Cue is displayed
in the center of the Ground Roll Reference symbol. Rolling takeoffs
are not recommended during LVTO operations. Advance power and
using normal control inputs, visually track the centerline while
monitoring the Guidance Cue and Ground Localizer Symbols. These
can be especially beneficial in the event of an engine failure during the
takeoff run to assist in maintaining lateral control while either aborting
or continuing the takeoff. Monitor the low visibility takeoff remaining on
instruments and call out any observed discrepancies:
-
Any localizer deviation, calling out STEER LEFT or

STEER RIGHT as necessary;
Any Flight Director malfunction.
In case of a LVTO CAUTION the takeoff may be continued upon pilot

discretion using visual cues. A LVTO WARNING should lead to a
rejected takeoff.
In the event of a rejected takeoff, the pilot continues to follow the HGS
Ground Roll Guidance Cue until the airplane comes to a stop. To
monitor the V-speed bugs during takeoff, it is necessary to display the
Altitude and Airspeed Tapes. These tapes will be automatically
displayed when the Combiner Mode selection is in AUTO. To monitor
excessive lateral displacement from the runway centerline, guidance is
provided by the position and direction of the Ground Excessive

conditions exist, perform a careful pre-takeoff check shortly before
takeoff.
For takeoff in icing conditions, it is recommended that takeoff power be
set to approximately 54% N1 and held at that thrust level for
30 seconds or until fan vibration level returns to normal just before or
in conjunction with the final takeoff power setting.
WINDSHEAR
The policy is always to avoid potential windshear areas. Takeoff
briefing can include recent weather reports, visual observations and
crew experience with the airport prevailing weather. Consider to delay
the takeoff until conditions improve.
Whenever a windshear is suspected during takeoff the following
precautions should be taken:
Use maximum takeoff thrust instead of reduced thrust;

Select flaps 1 unless limited by other takeoff considerations
such as obstacle or runway length;
Increase airspeed (or V2) to get the best performance
compromise during windshear;
Use the longest runway available with the lowest possibility of
a windshear encounter;
Turn ON the radar using the FSBY OVRD on the Weather
Radar Virtual Controller Panel to enable it before initiating the
takeoff run;
Crew should monitor airspeed trend during takeoff run. In case
of any evidence of windshear before V1, evaluate the
possibility to reject takeoff;
Develop an awareness of normal airspeed, attitude and
vertical speed. The crew should closely monitor the vertical
flight path instruments, such as, vertical speed and altimeters,
and call out any deviations.

ENGINE FAILURE
RECOGNITION
The first principles to best manage an engine malfunction are to
identify the affected engine correctly and take the correct action,
considering airplane on ground or in flight.
There are several ways to recognize engine failures, including
messages and airplane reactions:
-
Airplane heading change (differential moment force);

Engine Failure loss of thrust, EICAS indication FAIL in
amber on N1 indication; the Oil Pressure indication will turn
red;
Engine seize EICAS N1 indicates 0;
Engine separation EICAS indicates amber dashes, thrust
rating mode will disappear;
Engine Fire on EICAS, FIRE in red on ITT indicator and Fire
Handle illuminates.
ON GROUND
Engine Failure below V1
If an engine failure occurs prior to V1 a reject takeoff procedure (RTO)
has to be accomplished. (Refer to RTO Procedures).
Engine Failure above V1
If an engine failure occurs above V1, airplane direction and thrust
levers must be controlled, aiming to keep airplane on runway
centerline by smoothly applying rudder.
SOPM-1755
As soon as an Engine Failure or FIRE is recognized (not always

accompanied by loss of thrust) and the affected engine is identified,
check maximum thrust on EICAS.

IN FLIGHT
Rotation must be done at a slower rate, slightly less than on a normal
takeoff, setting aileron in neutral and use rudder and yaw trim to keep
wings level, as high ailerons inputs will raise spoilers and increase
drag.
As a reference, the slip / skid indicator shall be approximately to
off center and between 0 to 5 of bank, according to speed, gross
weight and altitude. Generally the control wheel in the neutral position
is a good indication of the lowest drag for single engine.
Crew must keep close attention at first positive rate of climb to retract
landing gear, monitoring airplane profile.
The TO mode first guidance is based on takeoff weight and flap
setting, limited to a minimum pitch of 8 and maximum of 18.
Crew must follow the flight director guidance to maintain V2 to
V2 + 10 kt up to acceleration altitude, according to the three different
conditions below:
-
Engine failure below V2: pitch for V2.

Engine failure between V2 and V2 + 10 kt: pitch for the present
speed.
Engine failure above V2 + 10 kt: pitch for V2 + 10 kt.
Takeoff thrust is limited to 5 (optionally 10) minutes after takeoff, and

its recommended that emergency procedures be accomplished as
soon as safe altitude has been attained (at least 400 ft AGL or
according to local minimums).
When engine failure occurs after takeoff, noise abatement procedures
no longer apply.
Following an Engine Failure, ATTCS adjusts operating engine thrust to
its respective RSV mode. In event the maximum thrust is not reached
for any reason, advance the thrust levers to maximum thrust.
SOPM-1755
On departure procedures with acceleration altitudes above 1000 ft,

during takeoff briefing, emphasize that, in the event of an Engine
Failure, Engine Fire (with loss of thrust) or any other malfunction
requiring a memory item, actions can be commanded at an altitude
lower than the acceleration altitude, but not lower than 400 ft. Airplane
must be stabilized and on the profile.

CLIMB
CLIMB
GENERAL
The climb phase has a significant impact in fuel consumption when
considering short and medium range flights since it represents from
20% to 40% of the trip time, registering fuel flows 40% greater than on
cruise phase.
When considering trip fuel, the climb phase shall not be analyzed
separately. The impact over the total trip fuel is the best way to check
a climb schedule.
EMBRAER provides information in the AOM Flight Planning section for
Maximum Climb Angle, Maximum Rate of Climb and recommended
Standard Speed Schedule.
INITIAL CLIMB
Best fuel and time efficiency is obtained by retracting flaps and slats
as soon as practicable, considering that a quick climb is important to
maximize efficiency. After selection of a vertical AFCS mode, verify
that climb thrust (CLB) is selected and displayed on the EICAS.
After flaps and slats retraction, the initial climb speed should be
chosen based on the operational requirements (obstacles, SID tracks
and constraints, weather conditions, noise restrictions, etc.) and
company policies, as well as local regulations.
With VNAV engaged the ALT SEL adjustments should always be
made in compliance with ATC instructions.
In order to avoid unwanted level offs, and when cleared of climbing
restrictions, the altitude constraints may be deleted or amended on the
FMS ACTIVE FLIGHT PLAN page at pilots discretion.
CLIMB SPEED
The climb speeds may be adjusted using the following criteria:
Obstacle Clearance: recommended VFS until MSA or above;
Weather Conditions: recommended VFS + 50 kt to clear low
altitude turbulence;
SOPM-1755
Specific Regulations: use the local limitation;

PROCEDURES
If the takeoff heading offset from the route track is greater than
120, it is recommended to use VFS until reaching a heading
within 30 from the desired track;
If none of the considerations above are applicable or have been
cleared, accelerate to the altitude limited airspeed (usually
250 kt below 10000 ft) or climb speed.
If FMS speeds are in accordance with the desired speeds, select the
SPEED Selector to FMS on the Guidance Panel if it was not
previously selected.
The FMS speeds are default to the guidance mentioned below. If a
different speed is required the change may be made on the
PERF CLIMB page or on the PERFORMANCE INIT page.
Up to 10000 ft: 250 kt.
Above 10000 ft: 270 kt up to the IAS/MACH transition then
Mach 0.73.
High speed climbs can significantly increase fuel burn, as the flight
time in a high thrust, higher drag condition is prolonged.
Maximum Angle of Climb Speed
With flaps retracted, the recommended best Angle of Climb Speed for
all operational gross weights and takeoff altitudes is VFS. It provides for
a maximum altitude gain at a minimum ground distance.
Maximum Rate of Climb Speed
Maximum rate of climb (MROC) speed provides a maximum altitude
gain in a minimum flight time, with flaps retracted and all operational
gross weights.
Page 2
SOPM-1755
VFS added by 50 KIAS is approximately the maximum rate of climb

speed. As it is a function of gross weight and altitude, refer to AOM
Vol.I - Flight Planning Section, for accurate speeds and Mach number.

CLIMB THRUST SELECTION

The CF34 Engines have two modes of climb thrust:
-
CLB-1: Maximum Available Climb Thrust;

CLB-2: Reduced Climb Thrust at sea level, corresponding to
approximately 90% of Maximum Climb Thrust at sea level.
The difference between CLB-1 and CLB-2 decreases with altitude.

The CLB-1 mode provides higher rates of climb and, consequently, the
airplane will spend less time to reach a desired altitude when
compared with CLB-2 thrust. As a result, considering fuel conservation
aspects, the CLB-1 mode would produce the lowest trip fuel burn.
It must be said that the main benefit in using reduced climb is related
to maintenance costs. Using reduced climb, the engine will work at
cooler temperatures, thus minimizing deterioration of engine
components.
This will lead to:
-
Reduced maintenance costs;

Lower Thrust Specific Fuel Consumption (TSFC) deterioration;
Longer periods between shop visits (wing removal for
maintenance).
Each operator must evaluate the trade-offs of maintenance costs and

TSFC impact versus trip fuel impact.
Set climb thrust by selecting FLCH or VNAV on the Guidance Panel.
The FADEC will maintain the correct thrust setting automatically
throughout the flight.
During aircraft power up, CLB-1 is the default mode setting. Whenever
the selected takeoff thrust is lower than CLB-1, the CLB-2 mode
becomes the default until the next airplane power down/power up.
SOPM-1755
On ground the CLB-1 mode is inhibited if the take off thrust selected is
lower than CLB-1 thrust.

The enroute climb speeds should be selected by the operators to
match their operational practices and requirements.
In general, the enroute climb speeds should be attained as soon as
practical to improve the flight efficiency, even at altitudes below
10000 ft where the local rules allow.
Usually a constant IAS is selected as enroute climb speed. This IAS is
maintained until a certain altitude where this speed intercepts a
selected Mach number that should be maintained until cruise altitude.
The altitude where the speed reference changes from IAS to Mach

During climb monitor pitch attitude and airspeed continuously,
performance changes such as airspeed decrease, reduced climb rate

decreases are noted, ensure that all icing systems are selected ON.
Make sure the required thrust and attitude are being properly
maintained.
Operation in moderate to severe icing conditions may allow ice to build
up on the fan spinner and/or blades. If allowed to accumulate,
asymmetrical ice shedding may result in high fan vibration. If fan ice
build-up is suspected (high indicated or perceived vibration)
accomplish the following periodic engine run up (one engine at a time).
Reduce one thrust lever at a time towards idle, than advance to a
minimum of 70% N1 for 10 to 30 seconds. Than return the thrust lever
to the position required for flight conditions.
Monitor anti-ice systems for proper operation. Apply the associated

persists, exit and avoid icing conditions. Make the air traffic controller
know you are requesting a change due to icing conditions and keep
him informed about it.

GENERAL
This section presents information that is pertinent to the cruise phase
of the flight. More in depth performance information is provided in the
AOM Vol. 1 - Flight Planning section.
SPEED SELECTION
MAXIMUM CRUISE SPEED
Maximum Cruise Speed provides the maximum True Air Speed (TAS).
It is achieved when maximum cruise thrust is used. Using maximum
cruise speed, the trip time is reduced and fuel burn increased.
MAXIMUM ENDURANCE
Maximum Endurance Speed provides the maximum time in-flight and
the minimum fuel flow. This speed mode is used when the trip time
has to be prioritized. As example, when the airplane is performing a
Holding or the arrival time at destine airport needs to be delayed for
any reason.
LONG RANGE CRUISE SPEED
In the Long Range Cruise Speed mode, the airplane is flown at a
speed corresponding to a specific range equal to 99% of maximum
specific range. It is used when range is the main factor in a given
route.
MAXIMUM RESERVE SPEED
Maximum Reserve Speed provides the maximum TAS while ensuring
the destination airport can be reached with the proper fuel reserves.
CRUISE SPEED MANAGEMENT

Speed variations above the planned speeds may lead to significant trip
fuel burn as speed has a large impact on specific range.

ALTITUDE SELECTION
Tables of Altitude Capability, Flight Level, and the Wind Altitude Trade
are presented on AOM 1 Flight Planning section. These tables will be
helpful in enabling to use the aircraft more efficiently.
ALTITUDE CAPABILITY
For a given speed, weight and thrust, there is a maximum altitude at
which straight and level flight is possible. This Maximum Altitude is
also called "Airplane Ceiling".
The altitude capability can be verified on AOM flight planning section
for LRC and Mach 0.78 based on initial cruise weight for various ISA
conditions and all engines operating with a residual rate of climb of
300 feet per minute. The computed ceiling altitude based in
performance initialization data is also displayed in the FMS
PERF DATA page.
The maximum altitude at which an airplane can fly is limited by three
factors:
-
Engine thrust.
Capacity of the wing to generate enough buffet-free lift.
Operational envelope.
OPTIMUM ALTITUDE
The Optimum Cruise Altitude is the pressure altitude, for a given
weight and center of gravity, speed, air temperature that gives the
maximum specific range.
SOPM-1755
Many times, it is not possible to fly at the optimum altitude because the
available flight level depends on the direction of the flight or may not
be cleared by the ATC. In addition, the aircraft may not have enough
buffet margin to fly at that altitude.
The default for INIT CRZ ALT is OPTIMUM when the performance
mode is FULL PERF. The FMS calculates the optimum cruise altitude
based on the performance initialization data. After performance
initialization is complete, the calculated optimum altitude is displayed
in small characters on this page.

The optimum altitude, as defined above, is based on the cruise

specific range only, and does not consider the overall fuel
consumption during an entire flight. For shorter-range flights, it makes
more sense defining the Optimum Cruise Altitude as the altitude at
which the entire flight fuel burn is minimized (i.e., minimizing
Climb+Cruise+Descent fuel).
It must be observed that on short flights the leveled cruise segment
may be very small, or non-existent at all (descent starting immediately
after the climb to cruise altitude is completed). Embraer publishes on
its Airplane Operations Manual (AOM) a cruise altitude table based on
a combination of minimum fuel consumption and at least 5 minutes in
cruise.

WIND ALTITUDE TRADE

In order to maintain the same ground specific range at another altitude
than the one planned initially, Embraer publishes on its Airplane

The optimum altitude is normally calculated for zero wind, but wind is a
factor that may justify operations considerably above or below the
optimum altitude.
SOPM-1755
If the optimum altitude headwind is stronger than lower altitude

headwind, for example, it might be advantageous to fly at a lower
altitude (and weaker headwind) in order to save fuel. This is called
wind-altitude trade.

FLIGHT CONTROLS TRIMMING

AIRPLANE TRIMMING
The autopilot trims the airplane for pitch using the stabilizer trim
function. Roll and yaw trimming is achieved manually through
dedicated switches.
If the airplane is not properly trimmed for roll and yaw, the autopilot
applies primary control displacements to compensate for tendencies,
which under some conditions, may significantly increase drag and
consequently affect fuel performance.
TRIMMING TECHNIQUE
Yaw Trimming:
With the auto pilot engaged, ensure the fuel is properly balanced,
engine thrust is symmetric, and HDG mode is selected.
Proper monitoring of the Sky Pointer, Roll Pointer and Slip/Skid
Indicator is fundamental for a correct airplane trimming.

Roll Trimming:
Roll trimming should be performed after the airplane has been
trimmed for yaw. An exception to this rule would be a wing heavy
condition in manual flight when the slip/skid indicator is centered.
In this case, Roll Trim should be actuated in the same direction where
pilots inputs are needed or towards the down side of the control wheel
if a deflection is noticeable. Both parts of the Roll Trim Switch should
be pressed simultaneously and in most cases, only sharp, brisk
movements are required.
FUEL IMBALANCE
Fuel efficiency can be significantly affected as primary control surfaces
are deflected by the auto pilot in order to compensate for the
imbalance condition.
A fuel imbalance for which no EICAS message is displayed and has
not yet exceeded 360 kg (800 lb) may be regarded as a normal
procedure and corrected without the use of the QRH. It is
recommended however, to assure no fuel leak is in place.
With both engines operative, this can be done by comparing both fuel
quantity indications on EICAS with fuel remaining information
indication on FMS Fuel Management page before attempting a fuel
crossfeed.
NOTE: If the FUEL IMBALANCE caution message is not displayed on
the EICAS and a crossfeed is performed, the advisory
message FUEL EQUAL - CROSSFEED OPEN will be
displayed regardless of the imbalance value, which may lead
to an additional imbalance condition.
THROTTLE TECHNIQUE
Rapid and large thrust lever excursions should be avoided, as they
can be detrimental to various engines components and can accelerate
engine deterioration.
Page 6
SOPM-1755
When feasible, large speed changes with Auto Throttle engaged

should be planned in advance. Excessive speed adjustments may
cause thrust levers to completely retard and accelerate, which also
contributes to engine deterioration and fuel consumption.

ALTITUDE
Large altitude variations are possible in severe turbulence, do not
chase altitude. Allow altitude and airspeed to vary and maintain
attitude.
THRUST SETTING
If severe turbulence cannot be avoided disconnect autothrottle and
make an initial thrust setting for the target airspeed. Change thrust
setting only in case of unacceptable airspeed variation.
NOTE: Do not extend flaps except for approach and landing.
MANUAL FLIGHT IN SEVERE TURBULENCE
The Autopilot should be maintained engaged when flying in severe
turbulence. At pilots discretion, if the crew reverts to manual flight in
severe turbulence, trim the airplane for penetration speed and do not
change stabilizer position. Control the airplane pitch attitude with the
elevators using the attitude indicator as the primary instrument. Do not
make sudden large elevator control inputs. Corrective actions to regain
the desired attitude should be smooth. Control de airplane attitude
first, then make corrections for airspeed, altitude and heading.

DRIFTDOWN
Following an engine failure or inflight engine shutdown, an airplane
may not be able to maintain its cruise altitude. The driftdown profile
assures the airplane altitude is kept as high as possible throughout the
descent. The driftdown speed is represented by the Green Dot and
provides the lower descent gradient.
During a driftdown, the available thrust increases as the aircraft
descends. Eventually, at a certain altitude the available thrust will
become equal to the airplane drag, and the airplane will level off. This
altitude is called the gross level off altitude. The gross level off altitude,
when corrected by the 1.1% (2 engines), 1.4% (3 engines) or
1.6% (4 engines) gradient margins, is called the net level off altitude
and will depend on the atmospheric temperature and the airplane
weight.
Regulations (FAR 121.191/JAR-OPS 1.500) require that the airplane
be able to clear all terrain by a given margin when an engine fails. Two
means of compliance for en-route obstacle clearance are allowed:
-
The net level-off altitude must clear all en-route obstacles by

at least 1000 ft; or
The net flight path must clear all en-route obstacles between
the point where the engine is assumed to fail and an airport
where a landing can be made by at least 2000 ft.

RVSM
Before entering RVSM airspace, the flight crew should review the
status of the required equipment. If any required equipment fails prior
to entering RVSM airspace, a new ATC clearance should be obtained.
While flying in RVSM airspace:
-
Crew should increase the vigilance to prevent deviations from

the assigned flight level;
When changing flight levels, the airplane should not overshoot
or undershoot FL by more than 45 m (150 ft);
The autopilot should be operative and engaged during level
cruise, except for circumstances such as the need to re-trim
the airplane or when it must be disengaged due to turbulence;
Crew should notify ATC of contingencies (equipment failures,
weather conditions) which affect the ability to maintain the
current flight level;
If unable to notify ATC and obtain a clearance prior to
deviating from the cleared flight level, follow established
contingency procedures and obtain ATC clearance as soon as
possible.
EMERGENCY DESCENT
This maneuver is designed to bring the airplane down to a safe
altitude in the minimum amount of time when experiencing a rapid
depressurization or any other situation requiring immediate and rapid
loss of altitude. This procedure should be accomplishing by the crew
members from memory.
During an emergency descent, a permanent communication in the
cockpit should be maintained in order to identify a possible pilot
incapacitation.
SOPM-1755
If structural damage is suspected, use flight controls with care, limit

speed as appropriate and evaluate the use of landing gear to expedite
the descent. When turbulence is encountered, reduce to turbulent air
penetration speed.

LOSS OF ALTITUDE
If descending due to cabin depressurization the crew members should
don masks and establish communication immediately after, accurately,
verifying cabin is depressurizing uncontrollably.
Opening the masks stowage box automatically initiates the oxygen
flow. Pressing the harness inflation control valve will inflate the
harness, enabling its quick donning. Releasing the button will deflate
the harness firmly fitting it to the head. The mask is designed to be
donned within 5 seconds.
When the oxygen masks stowage box door is opened the masks
microphone is automatically activated and the headset boom
microphone is deactivated.
The speakers are also automatically activated and the communication
reception is possible through the speakers or the headsets.
Oxygen masks are operated at three selectable modes: The NORMAL
mode is to be used as a supplemental, when a regular amount of
oxygen, diluted with cabin air is capable to maintain a safe physiologic
level until a preset altitude, where the user inhales 100% oxygen. The
100% mode is mandatory during an emergency descent, as its not
diluted with cabin air, regardless cabin altitude. The EMER mode is
useful to remove smoke and fumes, as it is non-diluted oxygen
regardless of cabin altitude with a slightly positive pressure. When the
mask is on emergency mode, the air pressure and flow make
communication more difficult. To avoid communication disruption it is
recommended not to use the EMER setting continuously, selecting the
mode back to 100% or Normal after the mask is clear of smoke, fumes
or condensation.

As crew decision is to perform the emergency descent, crew must
alert via PA, select (counter clockwise rotation) 10000 ft ASL or MEA,
whichever is higher, selects FLCH (if VNAV is engaged, press VNAV
button on the guidance panel, then press FLCH), set or verify thrust
levers IDLE and extend speed brake, selects speed selector knob to
manual and target speed to maximum appropriate.
Crew must descend straight ahead or initiate turn with maximum 30
bank. HDG mode can be used to turn the aircraft off the airway, its
recommended to start a turn before commencing the Emergency
descent. Then sets seat belts and no smoking signs ON, advises ATC
(EMERGENCY DESCENT), monitors cabin altitude, squawks 7700 on
transponder, checks all instrument and engines parameters.
If flying in RVSM airspace, pilot shall notify ATC and follow the
appropriate RVSM contingency procedure. Use TCAS as a reference
in this situation.
If cabin reaches 14500 ft or above, set immediately MASKS DEPLOY
selector knob to OVRD.
During descent, crew must perform the EMERGENCY CHECKLIST,
flight profile must be monitored and TERRAIN set on MFD. At 1000 ft

MANUAL DESCENT
Exceptionally, an emergency descent can be performed manually, but
additional recommendations must be considered due to an expected

thrust settings to idle. Then, smoothly open speed brake and turn
FD OFF.
If flying in RVSM airspace, pilot shall notify ATC and follow the
appropriate RVSM contingency procedure. Use TCAS as a reference
in this situation.
To start descend, smoothly lower the nose to initial descent attitude
(approximately 10 degrees nose down). Approximately 10 kt before
achieving target speed (VMO/MMO), slowly adjust pitch attitude to
maintain this speed. If structural integrity is in doubt, especially after
an explosive depressurization, use flight controls with care, and
maintain current speed.
To better keep airplane speed and thrust control, its recommended to
use FLIGHT PATH VECTOR SPEED ERROR TAPE and FPA

HOLDING
In order to achieve maximum fuel economy, holding should be
performed at clean configuration, gear up and minimum fuel
consumption speed (Maximum Endurance speed), even if flying under
turbulence conditions.
The holding tables for clean configuration are provided in the AOM
Vol.1 - Flight Planning Section. They are calculated for the minimum
fuel consumption condition, further providing minimum maneuver
margin of 1.27 Vs (EMBRAER 170/175) and 1.29 Vs (EMBRAER
190/195) with A/I OFF or 210 KIAS for A/I ON.
Considering fuel conservation aspects, performing a holding pattern
with flaps extended should be avoided, since it significantly increases
fuel flow. In case the minimum Flaps Up maneuvering speed exceeds
maximum holding pattern speed, pilot should obtain ATC clearance to
maintain present speed or use minimum flap/slat setting to comply to
speed restriction. For flaps 1, fuel flow increases by approximately
20%.
Crew should start slowing to the appropriate holding speed, at least,
10 NM before entering the HOLD Pattern, configured with: Flaps UP
and Gear UP.
FMS HOLDING CALCULATIONS
The default holding is a standard holding pattern at the designated
holding fix with the inbound course set to the flight plan course into the
holding fix. Leg times are defaulted to 1 minute below 14000 ft and 1.5
minutes at or above 14000 ft. However, those values can be modified
by the pilot.
Inbound Course:
Inbound course, turn direction and quadrant can be modified by the
pilot. Entry procedure entries are not permitted.
If a new inbound course and/or turn direction are entered by the pilot,
a new quadrant will be set automatically by the FMS.
SOPM-1755
Quadrant entries are not recommended, because when pilot entries a

new quadrant, FMS will set the new inbound course to the cardinal
heading associated with the entered quadrant. This procedure will
overwrite any other inbound course set previously.

DATA
LINK
When flying in air space where ATC provides communications via data
link, airplanes equipped with Controller to Pilot Datalink
Communication System (CPDLC) should use data link message
exchange over voice communications when applicable.
NOTE: In order to use CPDLC functionalities, the operator should
have received operational approval to use datalink
communications from the local aeronautical authority.
The current CPDLC implementation is intended to be used in the en
route environment for non-time critical situations. Data link
communications coexists with VHF voice radio communications. When
using CPDLC data link for ATC communications, the crew should
monitor the appropriate ATC frequency and revert to voice when
appropriate.
AOM section 14-09-15 presents a description of each MCDU CPDLC
page.
Log-on and data link connection
Before using CPDLC communication, the flight crew should normally
have logged-on to the data link system prior to airspace entry. This
log-on process will need to follow the procedures published in the
relevant AIP, which may also specify time limits for the log-on process.
Log-on provides the ground system with the information necessary for
data link application association. To establish a successful log-on the
flight identification displayed on the ATC NOTIFY/STATUS MCDU
page shall be identical to that on the filed flight plan. If the flight
identification is changed a new log on should be performed.
After log-on, the ground system will initiate the CPDLC connection
automatically and appropriate status information will be available to
flight crew. Flight crew should only initiate operational CPDLC
downlinks with a specific ATC station after:
-
Receiving a data link message confirming the identity of the

ATC unit concerned, or;
They are in voice communication with that ATC station.
SOPM-1755
When transferring from one ATC center to another, the log-on

information will be forwarded via the ground system.

STANDARD
OPERATING
PROCEDURES
The CPDLC connection to the new ATC center is automatic, and

appropriate information is displayed to the flight crew.
Operating Principles
The use of data link communication should be in accordance with the
following operating principles:
-
Prior to flight the flight crew should verify the availability of the
CPDLC service on the intended route.
Voice communications and voice instructions

precedence over data link communications at all times.
The flight crew and/or the air traffic controller involved have
the discretion to discontinue the use of data link services.
Messages received via data link should be replied to via data

link. In the same way, messages received via voice should be
replied to via voice.
If a conflicting CPDLC clearance/instruction is received, the

crew should ask for clarification via voice.
If the content of a CPDLC ATC message is uncertain, the

crew should reject the instruction sending an UNABLE
message. After sending the UNABLE message the crew
should use CPDLC or voice to confirm the content of the
message.
Clearances and instructions received via data link should be

accomplished by the crew in a timely fashion. This time to
accomplish the ATC instructions accounts for both sending a
CPDLC response and initiating the required action.
The specific phraseology developed to be used in conjunction

with data link operation generally is to be strictly applied. The
specific phraseology to be used is also to be strictly applied
when reverting from CPDLC to voice.

Loss of Communication
In case the CPDLC datalink communication is lost, or the crew
suspects that messages are not being correctly sent to or received
from ATC, the crew must revert to voice communication with the
proper ATC station.
In the event of voice communication failure, the availability of a
CPDLC between the airplane and the ATC station does not relieve the
flight crew from following the ICAO or any other local authority
applicable of loss of communications procedure.
CPDLC Uplink Messages
When a CPDLC uplink message is received from ATC an aural
MESSAGE ATC is triggered and an ATC annunciation is displayed
on PFD in white flashing in inverse video.
Once the aural MESSAGE ATC is triggered both pilots should check
the display of ATC on PFD. The PNF access the received message
by pressing the DLK key on the MCDU.
In order to guarantee that both pilots maintain the same level of
situational awareness about ATC requests the PNF should readback
the content of the received message to the PF.
Once the message is read the crew should brief its content in order to
determine if it is possible to comply with the instruction received. The
PNF responds by selecting the applicable answer from the available
options on the ATC UPLINK MSG page.
SOPM-1755
The PF should confirm the content of the response message before

sending the message. After confirmation from PF, the PNF will select

UNRELIABLE AIRSPEED
Unreliable airspeed indications usually are associated with partial pilot
static system blocking, damage or frozen as well deterioration of
system parts.
The flight crew can recognize an unusual indication monitoring
airspeed indications and crosschecking PFD 1, 2 and IESS. IAS and
ALT miscompare monitor annunciations can be also used to aid pilots
to identify this condition.
When this scenario occurs the Autothrottle and Autopilot must be
disengaged once these systems use the airspeed indications to adjust
their gains. The Flight Director may be also unreliable and should not
be followed.
With the Autothrottle and Autopilot disengaged the crew must maintain
proper control of the airplane by means of pitch attitude and power
settings.
AOM Vol.1 and QRH - Emergency and Abnormal Procedures sections
present Unreliable Airspeed tables to be used on each flight phase.
The use of Speedbrake should be avoided since the capacity of the
flight crew to monitor the speed change might be compromised.
Under an Unreliable Airspeed scenario, Altitude and/or Vertical Speed
indications may also be unreliable.
Ground Speed indication available on PFD and GPS altitude may also
be used as reference if PFD indication is unreliable.
SOPM-1755
At pilots discretion, when the airplane is stabilized under correct pitch

attitude and power setting, instruments should be crosschecked in
order to help identifying any possible reliable instrument. In case a
reliable source is identified, ADS reversion should be attempted.

STALL RECOVERY MANEUVER

The lift force generated on a surface is a result of its angle of attack
(AOA), the dynamic pressure of the air moving around it, which is a
function of the airspeed and air density, and the size and shape of the
surface. As the AOA increases, lift increases proportionally.
The lift increases until the wing reaches its maximum AOA, named
critical AOA. Beyond the critical AOA the air flown around the upper
side of the wing separates, lift decreases, instead of increasing, and
the airplane stall. To sustain a lifting force on the wing, the pilot must
ensure the surface is flown at an angle below the stall angle.
Remember that the angle of attack is the angle between the relative
wind and the chord line of the airfoil, which should not be confused
with the flight path angle or the pitch attitude. You can estimate the
AOA value at the EADI (either in the PFD or HGS combiner),
according to the figure below. You can also check an impending stall
via the LSA (Low Speed Awareness) and PLI (Pitch Limit Indicator)
indication and the proper color code of the symbology.

It is important to note that, being the lift generation directly related to

the airplane AOA, the stall phenomenon can occur at any point of the
airplane flight envelope. At high speed cruise, or during descents,
when it seems that there is plenty of airspeed, the wing can be stalled.
In other words, the stall can occur at any attitude, any altitude, at any
speed and at any load factor.

Speed and altitude will affect the stall as follows: as altitude increases,
the indicated airspeed at which low speed buffet occurs increases; as
altitude increases, high speed buffet speed decreases. Using buffet
boundary charts or referencing to g margins allow pilots to determine
how high or how fast they can go.
The aerodynamic stall, especially at high speed, is characterized by
buffeting, combined or not with some loss of lateral control. In low
speed situations, an artificial stall warning is provided in advance to
the aerodynamic stall in the form of stick shaker. During flight in icing
conditions, the airplane may stall at much higher speeds and lower
angles of attack than normal. In icing conditions, the activation of the
stick shaker is anticipated and the PLI and LSA indication are adjusted
to cope with the altered stall onset characteristics.
SOPM-1755
The emphasis of the stall recovery maneuver is to effectively reduce

the AOA by putting the airplane in a nose down attitude.

REVISION 15

PROCEDURES AND
TECHNIQUES
CRUISE
STANDARD
OPERATING
PROCEDURES
Upon recognizing a stall condition, stick shaker activation or feeling

the stall buffeting, the crew must initiate the stall recovery procedure
immediately.
NOTE: Stick shaker activation will cause the automatic disengage of
the autopilot. Beware that, in icing, the autopilot may mask
heavy or asymmetric control forces due to airframe icing. The
autopilot may even disconnect earlier because of excessive
roll rates, roll angles or excessive pitch.
The PF must disengage the autothrottle and simultaneously reduce
the AOA by pushing the control column to apply nose down, level the
wings and adjust the thrust as required. The PNF must confirm
autopilot and autothrottle disengaged and monitor the altitude and
speed of the airplane.
NOTE: In direct mode, no fly-by-wire functionality available, more
control column input may be required to get the same pitch
change.
The PF must retract the speed brake and maintain the nose down
command until the airplane is effectively out of the stall condition. With
the airplane out of stall the stall warnings will be deactivated.
Due to the nose down attitude, during the recovery the airplane will
accelerate. The PNF should monitor the speed to avoid the airplane
flying above the VMO/MMO or other applicable speed limit. The PNF
should also monitor and inform any other airplane limitation
exceedance. At high altitudes, normally smooth and small control
inputs are required so as to keep speed and rate of climb within
reasonable values.
Once out of stall, return the airplane to the normal flight path. Apply
commands gradually to avoid secondary stalls. It may take less force
to generate the same load factor as altitude increases.
Although a common template to deal with stall recoveries to all types
of airplanes is desirable, the EJETS automatism provided by the flyby-wire system in the normal mode helps to reduce the workload in
certain scenarios.
Page 26
SOPM-1755
With the airplane flying in the normal mode, the fly-by-wire

functionalities automatically neutralize any pitch up tendency caused
by engine thrust. In this case applying MAX thrust during the stall
recovery procedure should not result in any pitch up tendency. If any

DESCENT
DESCENT
GENERAL
Even thought descent fuel consumption has a minor impact comparing
with other flight phases, it is important to plan a correct descent profile.
Good descent planning is also necessary to arrive at the desired
altitude with correct speed and configuration.
DESCENT SPEEDS
If the FMS speeds are in accordance with the desired, the descent
may be made on FMS speeds. Any change to these speeds must be
made on the PERFORMANCE INIT page or on the PERF DESCENT
page.
The default descent speeds on the FMS are:
Between 41000 ft and the altitude to CAS/Mach transition:
Mach 0.76.
- Between the altitude to CAS/Mach transition and 12000 ft:
290 kt.
- From 12000 ft down to 10000 ft the speed decreases linearly
from 290 kt down to 250 kt.
The altitude where the FMS commands the deceleration
depends on the descent angle and airplane performance. For
angles close to 3 the anticipation occurs by 2000 ft before the
constraint.
- From altitudes lower than 10000 ft: 250 kt up to the
deceleration to the approach speeds.
If necessary, use speedbrakes to correct the descent profile. For small
adjustments, allow the airspeed to vary initially, using the speed
brakes at a lower altitude if further speed adjustments are required.
The pilot should keep a hand on the speedbrakes lever anytime the
speedbrakes are used. This will prevent the speedbrakes from being
left extended when no longer required.

VNAV OPERATION
The FMS calculates the TOD based on the speeds and angle entered
on the PERFORMANCE INIT page. The default angle is 3. Any
change can be made on the PERFORMANCE INIT page or
PERF DESCENT page during the FMS initialization or in flight.
Approaching the TOD set the Altitude Selector to the cleared altitude
and the FMS commands to descent upon reaching the TOD.
The FMS commands a VPATH descent unless a late descent is
required or if the lateral mode is other than LNAV.
If any lateral change needs to be executed during descent with
VPATH engaged, revert the vertical mode to FPA, execute the lateral
direct to, the vertical direct to and return back to VNAV.
In VFLCH descents the altitude constraint may not be reached by the
altitude constraint waypoint. VFLCH is similar to FLCH descents
where the guidance is to maintain the selected speed with the engine
thrust at idle.
In case of a late or early descent make use of the Descend Now
function on the FMS.
Under radar vector it is suggested to disengage VNAV and set Speed
Selector Knob to MANUAL.
IDLE DESCENT
AOM/QRH present tables of angle/speed pairs which establish a
condition to perform a descent with idle power setting until 12000 ft.
The speeds published in these tables must be inserted on the FMS in
order to guarantee the idle descent. These speeds are not speeds that
the airplane will actually fly; they are used just as reference in
conjunction with a flight path angle.
The flight path angle is calculated based on a certain weight at the top
of descent and also must be compensated for wind effects and/or ice
forecast on descent. Headwinds cause steeper flight path angles while
tailwinds have the opposite effect.
Page 2
SOPM-1755
This procedure for idle descent will achieve the expected results only if
it is possible to perform a constant descent, without step downs, and
with the airplane initiating the descent on the calculated TOD. The

APPROACH
GENERAL
This chapter outlines recommended normal and abnormal operating
practices and techniques for precision, non-precision, circling and
visual approaches, as well as missed approach and go-around
maneuvers.
FUEL CONSUMPTION
The fuel consumption during the approach phase is influenced by two
main factors:
-
ATC requirements;
Pilots flying techniques.
ATC requirements, such as accomplishing of the entire range of IFR

approach procedures and holdings are external factors that are a
function of airspace capacity and traffic flow management. They are
beyond flight crew control.
THRUST USE
Thrust should be maintained in idle as much as possible during the
approach, as the airplane enters the final approach proper thrust
should be established (monitored) to guarantee a stable approach.
Approaching the touch down point, reduce the rate of descent and
monitor A/T Retard mode reducing thrust levers to idle at 30 ft RA.
Knowledge of the deceleration rates of the airplane is essential to
perform an optimum idle approach planning. The table below shows
the deceleration distances required for IDLE thrust, for speed brakes
up or down, with clean configuration:

For example, deceleration from 250 KIAS to 200 KIAS requires 5 NM

FLAPS AND GEAR EXTENSION
In order to optimize flaps life and fuel consumption, extend flaps on the
Green Dot or Green Dot+10 kt (ice speeds) speed. Approximately 8
NM are required to extend all the flaps down to FULL position.
The Green Dot provides the minimum speed for the current
configuration. The next flap position should be selected before
reducing the speed below the current Green Dot located along the
right edge of the airspeed tape.
The use of the Green Dot as reference for flaps extension reduces the
fuel consumption.
When the Green Dot is not available the flaps maneuvering speeds
table may be used for flaps extension.

FLAPS CHOICE
SOPM-1755
The use of Flaps 5 provides lower fuel consumption and reduced

approach noise levels. In a comparison, a final approach segment with
flaps 5 will burn 10 kg less than a flaps FULL landing.

APPROACH
The use of FULL flaps should be considered when the field length
renders its use and also at pilots discretion when additional runway
limitations exist, such as known slippery conditions.
Additionally, flaps full should also be considered when the STALL
PROT ICE SPEED is present in the EICAS (even without actual icing
conditions) and a combination of high landing weights short field
lengths exist.
INSTRUMENT APPROACHES
Approximately 50 NM before descent, pilots should perform the
approach briefing.
Its recommended to set instruments before the briefing.
The items to be covered by the briefing are:
-
Weather and NOTAMs at destination and alternate airports;

Instrument Approach plates, checking MSA, frequencies,
courses, MDA/DA, selecting raw data sources (CDIs/needles
VOR/FMS/ADF);
FMS/MCDU settings, checking each leg on FPL page and
HOLDING patterns at HOLD page;
Missed approach procedures check if its set on FMS
according to the plate;
Runway length, width and best taxiway to vacate;
Apron facilities and stands;
Check MORA/MEA.
Pilots must keep close attention to the altitude and speed restrictions
according to the charts. Some airports are provided with contingency
and special procedures.
Speeds must be set according to the weight and flap selection,
considering weather status (CAT II, ICE conditions etc).
SOPM-1755
The Autobrake must be selected according to runway conditions and

type of operation. Also the use of Thrust Reversers must be briefed in
order to decide which taxiway is supposed to be used to vacate the
runway. Pilots must evaluate runway conditions like slippery and
contaminated. It is necessary to discuss the outcome on the landing
distance during the approach briefing. This detail, together with wind
gusts on surface will affect the landing distance in case of crew
planned to use additional speed for the approach.

APPROACH
STANDARD
OPERATING
PROCEDURES
Airplane status and operational restrictions must be discussed during

the briefing. If any failure that affects the required landing distance
occurs in the final approach, consider a missed approach in order to
better evaluate the situation and an appropriate runway length.
Failures that affect the landing distance are commonly associated to
brakes, ground spoilers and/or thrust reversers.
Its recommended to perform an instrument crosscheck as soon as
cleared by ATC to intercept the final approach course. At this time
pilots crosscheck radios and minimums for that specific approach. For
far ILS captures, verify if intercepted course is in accordance with the
MARKERS indications and the PFD MAP display. If any discrepancy is
found disengage the AP and take the appropriate corrective action.
The altimeter setting must be done when passing Transition Level, or
according to ATC.

DECISION ALTITUDE/HEIGHT
The ILS CAT I decision altitude is based on barometric altimeter
(BARO) and CAT II / III decision height is based on the radio altimeter
(RA).
STABILIZED APPROACH
The airplane should be stabilized by 1000 ft AFE if in IMC conditions
and no lower than 500 ft AFE if in VMC conditions. An approach is
considered stabilized when all of the following criteria are met:
-
The airplane is on the correct flight path;

Only small changes in heading/pitch are required to maintain
the correct flight path;
The airplane speed is not more than VREF + 20 kt indicated
airspeed and not less than VREF;
The airplane is in the correct landing configuration;
Sink rate is no greater than 1000 ft/min; if an approach
requires a sink rate greater than 1000 ft/min, a special briefing
should be conducted;
Power setting is appropriated for the airplane configuration;
All briefings and checklists have been conducted;
ILS approaches should be flown within one dot of the glide
slope and localizer.
USING GD (GREEN DOT)
SOPM-1755
Whenever a speed reduction below minimum clean speed is

necessary, extend flaps at the GD. The GD is removed momentarily
during flaps surface movement and reappears when the new flap
position is reached. At this point, the speed can be reduced to the GD
for the new flap setting. Use this procedure again for further flaps
extension as flaps extension at GD may reduce fuel consumption.

VRF NEW = VRF FLAPS FULL + abnormal speed correction
threshold is passed at the screen height and at VRF or VRF NEW
according to the inputted reference speed.
VAP setting
The following method may be used for wind additive corrections:
VAP = VREF + 1/2 steady headwind component + gust increment
Minimum VAP = VRF + 0 kt and maximum VAP = VRF + 20 kt.
For landings in abnormal conditions with or without the EICAS
message STAL PROT ICE SPEEDS active, the minimum
VAP = VRF NEW + 0 kt and maximum VAP = VRF NEW + 20 kt.
VAC setting
FAA/ANAC requires VAC to be higher than VRF.

APPROACH
INITIAL APPROACH
Both pilots should avoid heads-down during the approach, especially
in high density traffic.
The initial approach procedure may be flown using LNAV (preferred)
or HDG mode for lateral tracking, and VNAV, VGP, FPA or V/S mode
for altitude changes.
VNAV is the preferred mode for the initial approach when the FMS
flight plan is programmed for the intended arrival.
For Non-precision approaches using FMS as the navigation source,
the APPR annunciator on the HSI display must turn on 2 NM before
the FAF. It remains displayed for the remainder of the approach. This
is a positive cue to the flight crew that the sensor configuration is
correct and sensor integrity is within limits for the approach. The
approach annunciator is not displayed during localizer based
approaches since the FMS as the navigation source is not authorized
to be coupled during localizer approaches.
The DGRAD annunciator must be off throughout the approach. If the
DGRAD turns on, the FMS as the navigation source must not be used
for the remainder of the approach. The flight crew continues the
approach using raw data or performs the missed approach procedure.
SOPM-1755
NOTE: FMA should be observed after changing a flight mode to

ensure that the correct mode has been selected and is being
reflected by the airplane behavior.

MALFUNCTIONS
Any airplane malfunction requiring crew action below 1000 ft AFE
under IMC should lead to a go around.
Malfunctions above 1000 ft AFE are to be evaluated by the crew and
should lead to a go around if necessary procedures can not be
completed before reaching 1000 ft.
NOTE: - In case of any failure that affects the flight director approach
mode capability or the ability to continue on the same
approach category above 1000 ft AFE, the decision to
continue on a downgraded approach category must be made
if the missed approach considerations and the new approach
minimums have been set at or above 500 ft AFE, and no
other checklists or procedures are required below 1000 ft.
- In case of go-around follow the normal go-around procedure
and a new approach may only be performed when the
appropriate action is accomplished and malfunction
consequences properly evaluated.
Following an Autothrottle failure below 500 ft the approach may be
continued if the airspeed is under control and stabilized.
ENGINE FAILURE DURING FINAL APPROACH
If an engine failure occurs during final approach it will be the captains
responsibility to decide to continue the approach or initiate a go
around. In case of any doubt that the landing can be conducted safely,
a go around must be accomplished.
FLAPS 5 Landing:
When landing with flaps 5 the airplane will already be in the required
configuration for an OEI landing. Only a speed adjustment is
necessary to continue the approach.
Crew must be sure that runway distance is enough to complete
landing safely; taking into account the speed additive and the fact that
only one thrust reverser will be available.
Page 10
SOPM-1755
In most cases a 15 kt (No Ice) or 10 kt (Ice) additive will be enough to

comply with the speed requirement for an OEI approach
(V REF FULL + 20 kt). But differences are expected depending on the
airplane type and certification authority. The operator should evaluate
his specific characteristics to define the best policy.

APPROACH
FLAPS FULL Landing:

Considering a landing with flaps FULL, a reasonable increase in
workload will occur, including MCDU settings (heads down), flaps
retraction and thrust increments to reach the target speed.
Usually it is recommended to go around, unless there is plenty of time
to reconfigure the airplane, or if the crew judges that the safest course
of action is to continue the approach in the same configuration.
PROCEDURE TURN
Procedure turns are used to reverse course during an approach. A
procedure turn is only available from approaches in the navigation
database or via raw data. Using the FMS constructs the procedure
turn with an outbound leg, a turn out leg, an arc leg, and an inbound
leg. Only the outbound leg and the procedure turn angle are
adjustable.
If a full procedure turn is required, select flap 1 reducing to flap 1
maneuvering speed one minute before the aircraft passes the fix.
Approximately 30 seconds after station or fix passage, select flap 2
and reduce to flap 2 maneuvering speed.
A normal outbound leg is 45 seconds to 1 minute. Some procedures
turns are specified by a procedure track in the NAV charts. The turns
must be flown as depicted and monitor in the PFD. The ground speed
and the airplane position relative to the procedure turn should be
monitored.
PRECISION PROCEDURES
If a complete arrival procedure to the localizer and glide slope capture
point is intended, the initial approach phase may be completed using
LNAV and VNAV. Ensure the FLIGHT PLAN (FPL) pages sequence,
altitude restrictions and the MAP DISPLAY reflects the air traffic
clearance.
SOPM-1755
Last minute air traffic changes or constraints may be managed by

appropriate use of the HDG mode, ALT mode and FPA, FLCH or V/S
for vertical mode. Updating the FMS sequencing should be
accomplished only as time permits.

PROCEDURES
Both pilots should avoid heads-down during the approach. Under

PREVIEW FEATURE
The preview feature allows the capture of an ILS course while still
using the FMS as the active NAV source. Preview automatically
selects the ILS course if the ILS arrival is inserted on the MCDU.
ILS CAT I
When performing an ILS CAT I, pilots should use the autopilot and
autothrottle to minimize crew workload.
When starting the deceleration segment, approaching the airport while
either being radar vectored or using own navigation, slow the airplane
to 210 KIAS, at base leg select flap 1 reducing to flap 1 maneuvering
speed. When maneuvering to intercept the localizer, select flap 2
reducing to flap 2 maneuvering speed.
When cleared for the approach and airplane is established on an
intercept heading of less than 90 of the inbound track, select the APP
mode on the guidance panel to arm the LOC and GS and set vertical
speed using VNAV/FPA/FLCH or VS as required to capture the glide
slope.
Once captured, the glide slope will become active and the go-around
altitude may now be set on the Guidance Panel. When One dot to
intercept the glide slope, extend landing gear, select flap 3 reducing to
flap 3 maneuvering speed. At GS capture, select landing flaps,
reducing to the VAP. For far ILS captures, the gear extension and
landing flaps can be delayed, however the airplane must be configured
with gear down and landing flaps prior to FAF or 5 NM from the
threshold, whichever comes first.
If the aircraft cannot meet the stabilized approach criteria, execute a
missed approach.
STEEP APPROACH
The Steep Approach procedure is applicable to approaches where the
angle of descent on final path for landing is greater than or equal to
4.5. The maximum tail wind for steep approach is 5 kt.

APPROACH
The use of AP and AT is recommended, but no restrictions apply for

Steep Approaches with autopilot and (or) autothrottle disengaged.
STEEP APPROACH OPERATION
The rate of descent during the steep approach will be influenced by
variation of the thrust setting. The steeper the approach, the less
thrust is needed. But remember, approaches with idle thrust should be
avoided. When an engine is at idle, spooling it up to a high thrust
condition takes far more time than when this engine is functioning
above idle.
Plan to be in landing configuration before intercepting the final
approach descent path because of the lower deceleration rate
attainable during steep descents.
The airplane should reach Final Approach Fix configured for landing,
with landing gear DOWN, SLAT/FLAP FULL, Steep Approach Mode
ENGAGED and at VREF for steep approach. The aircraft must be fully
stabilized on approach when it is three miles or 1000 ft from
touchdown, whichever happens first.
Make sure the airplane is properly trimmed during the approach. This
maximizes the authority for the flare or in the event of a missed
approach.
The approach configuration with steep mode engaged provides a
slight nose up pitch attitude which makes the flare maneuver almost
identical to those observed during a 3 degree approaches. Anyway,
good flare-thrust coordination is essential, either on a normal or on a
steep approach.
Any failure of the steep approach mode on final should lead to a goaround, unless the remainder of the approach is possible to be
conducted without the steep approach capability.
ENGINE FAILURE
An engine failure above DA (MDA) should lead to a go around.
SOPM-1755
Below DA (MDA) the approach may be continued maintaining the

current airplane configuration.

In case CAT II or CAT III approach, use the same approach procedure
describe in the ILS CAT I (section 3-35-01). Only flap 5 should be

The selection of RA minimums on the PFD identifies that CAT II or
CAT III approach is intended.
The pilots ensure correct approach mode (APPR2, AUTOLAND or
HUDA3) is annunciated on the FMA, and monitors the ILS APP mode.
During approach the pilot places one hand on the throttles guarding
the TOGA button and other hand on the control column near or
adjacent to the autopilot disconnect button. At 80 ft above DH, when
Approaching Minimums call is announced the pilot responds
continuing the approach and diverts his scan to outside visual cues.
When the Minimums automatic callout is announced, one of the
following occurs:
If the proper CAT II/III visual cues are not present, or if the
aircraft is not in a position which a descent to the runway can
be made, the pilot selects TOGA button and executes the goaround. The pilots should monitor the instruments for deviation
from a normal go-around profile.
If the proper CAT II/III visual cues are identifiable, and a

descent to landing can be made at a normal descent rate
which will allow touchdown within the touchdown zone, the
pilot should proceed to land (or monitor the Autoland system, if
it is the case). Flight instruments should continuing be
monitored until touchdown and any deviations from the normal

LOW VISIBILITY APPROACH

A working knowledge of approach lighting systems and regulations
and how they apply to the required visual references is essential to
perform safe and successful approaches during low visibility
conditions.
A review of the approach and runway lighting systems available during
the approach briefing is recommended as the pilot has only a few
seconds to identify the lights required to continue the approach.
For all low visibility approaches, a review of the airport diagram,
expected runway exit, runway remaining lighting and expected taxi
route during the approach briefing is recommended.
BASIC STATEMENTS
Successful low visibility approach requires crew coordination.
Any doubt about the approachs success must lead to a go
around.
Observe strict adherence to standard call-out procedures since
they are vital to a successful approach.
The pilot should guard the controls and the throttles throughout
all phases of the automatic approach, landing and rollout and be
prepared to manually land or initiate a go around any time it is
considered necessary.
Use of the external lights while in IMC:
Strobe lights may cause disorientation;
Landing lights and side taxi lights at night and/or during
precipitation could reduce the capability to acquire visual
references.
The external lights may be turned off and as soon as visual
contact is assured, the pilot turns ON the external lights.
It is recommended to adjust the cockpit overall illumination to
the minimum necessary.

E-JETS can be optionally equipped with the Autoland capability.
AUTOLAND 1 consists of approach, touchdown and 5 seconds of roll
out and can be accomplished on CAT I, II or IIIa approaches.
AUTOLAND 2 complements the AUTOLAND 1 functionality with
additional rollout guidance up to a safe taxi speed and can be

AUTOLAND MODES
Five modes are related specifically to Autoland:
Page 4
Align (ALIGN): engages at 150 ft and maintains the lateral

guidance while the airplane aligns with the runway centerline
by means of aileron and rudder control.
Flare (FLARE): engages at 50 ft and provides vertical
guidance for the transition from glide slope to main gear
touchdown.
Retard (RETD): if the autothrottle is engaged, retard engages
at 30 ft and commands throttle to idle.
De - Rotation (D-ROT): engages at main gear touchdown and
commands a nose pitch down, touching nose gear down.
Roll Out ( RLOUT): engages at main gear touchdown and
provides lateral guidance to maintain airplane on the runway

AUTOMATIC PITCH TRIM LOGIC

Two automatic pitch trim logics are related to Autoland operations:
-
A pre-trim up is commanded at 800 ft radio altitude in order to

prevent a nose down transient in an event of an autopilot
disconnection. In case of autopilot disconnection a pitch up is
expected due to the pre-trim, requiring pilot manual trimming.
Automatic pitch trim inhibition below 50 ft.
PARALLEL RUDDER
In Autoland equipped airplanes, yaw axis control is also provided
through an additional (parallel) rudder servo.
The parallel rudder servo engages at Autoland engagement and at goaround with AP engaged. When parallel rudder servo is engaged a
self-test is accomplished by a small and slow movement of pedals in
both directions, but not causing any rudder movement.
During final approach (AEO or OEI) the system logic applies the crab
technique in case of crosswind landing until 150 ft, below 150 ft
sideslip is applied.
Loss of rudder servo during Autoland disengages the autopilot causing
the loss of Autoland capability.
GO AROUND
Perform the go around procedure in the order given. Be aware that if
the flaps are set out of position 5 before pressing the TO/GA button (to
engage the GO AROUND mode) the active approach mode
disengages, the flight director reverts to track mode and the Rudder
Servo is de-energized requiring pilot input to maintain directional
control.
MALFUNCTIONS

lead to an immediate go-around.

HGS
The HGS may be used during all approach and landing operations.
Profiles, configurations and speeds remain the same as for a similar
head-down approach. It is recommended that the HGS approach
procedures be used, whenever possible, to maintain proficiency. This
reinforces crew coordination and confidence in the system. HGS can
be performed with or without autothrottle.
As part of the functions of a primary flight display, the HGS echoes the
flight director commands provided by the airplane on board FCS.
Flight director commands are presented on the HGS in the form of a
guidance cue (circle), which is positioned with respect to the HGS
flight path symbol.
With the CAT III functionality, the HGS computer will be capable of
generating CAT III guidance to be displayed on the HUD combiner.
The head down display will duplicate the HGS CAT III mode
annunciations on the PFD FMA. Additional CAS Messages will exist in
case CAT III capability is not available or turned OFF. For HUD A3
approaches it is mandatory to disengage the autopilot after the landing
configuration is achieved above 500 ft.
For visual approaches, the HGS display is very nearly the same as the
Flight Director approach format. However, the Guidance Cue and ILS
deviation symbols are not included in the display. The HGS display
enhances the visual approach operation by allowing the pilot to
establish and maintain the aircraft on the proper glide path to the
runway without reference to a ground based landing system (ILS,
VASI, etc.). In a visual approach, Flight Path is used to control the
approach to the runway. This is particularly beneficial during nighttime
approaches or approaches with poor visual cues.
When approaching using HGS, pilot should concentrates on following
the HGS guidance and getting visual cues. Instruments should also be
monitored, EICAS and the HGS comprised in case of dual HGS
configuration or the EICAS and the PFD in case of single HGS
configuration.

APPROACH
NON PRECISION PROCEDURES

The procedures presented herein are applicable to VOR, NDB, GPS
and RNAV approaches.
All approaches may be flown using the FMS as a primary source of
navigation.
When a final path descent angle is defined on a non precision
approach the use of VGP is recommended.
Use of the autopilot and autothrottle reduces crew workload and
allows more time for approach management and monitoring. The
correct use of the altitude selector can help prevent descents below
authorized altitudes.
Fly the intermediate approach conventionally, using HDG or NAV
mode.
Start the deceleration segment approaching the airport in radar
vectors or using own navigation. Plan to have flaps 2 on the heading
to intercept the final approach track.
When cleared for the approach and on an intercept heading of less
than 90 of the inbound track, arm the NAV mode or use the HDG
mode, once on final inbound course before FAF (2 NM), extend
landing gear and select flap 3. At FAF, select landing flaps, reduce to
VAP. If the aircraft cannot meet the stabilized approach criteria, execute
a missed approach.
FMS AS PRIMARY SOURCE
The FMS supports the following non-precision approach types: GPS
only, RNAV, VOR, VOR/DME, NDB and NDB/DME.
SOPM-1755
Final approach segment of ILS, LOC, LOC-BC, LDA, SDF, GLS, MLS,
Visual, and Radar final approaches using the FMS as the navigation
source for guidance are prohibited.

PROCEDURES AND

APPROACH
STANDARD
OPERATING
PROCEDURES
The FMS must be operated as at least a single system, with a

minimum of one PFD and one MFD operational prior to commencing
the approach. The signal of the station(s) that defines the approach
and on board equipment must be verified operational prior to
commencing the approach.
If required by local regulations to maintain a raw data crosscheck
throughout the procedure both pilots must select the bearing pointer
and radio frequency to the station where the procedure is based.
FMS DATABASE
The procedure to be flown must be retrieved from the FMS database
and a thorough verification of all waypoints, tracks, distances, glide
path angles, altitude constraints and threshold crossing altitudes must
be enforced and should be addressed on approach briefings.
VECTORS TO FINAL
When on vectors to a final approach to be flown using the FMS as a
primary source of navigation the following recommendation applies:
-
Use HDG lateral mode and FPA or V/S vertical mode until
clear to intercept the final approach course;
On downwind leg it is recommended to use the
ACT VECTORS prompt to extend the final approach
presentation;
Arm LNAV through the APP or NAV button only when on the
last heading to intercept the final approach course.
LOC ONLY APPROACH

On LOC only approach when cleared to intercept the localizer, the
transition from FD modes LNAV, VNAV must be as follows:
Select an appropriate FD vertical mode;

Select FD HDG mode;
Change the PFD primary source of navigation to V/L;
Arm FD LOC mode pressing NAV mode on the Guidance
panel;
Use FPA as a preferred vertical mode to perform the
approach.

VNAV APPROACH
The vertical guidance when flying based on FMS is the VNAV. The
VNAV possible modes to fly a non-precision approach are VPATH and
VGP (Post-Mod. LOAD 19.3).
For airplanes Post-Mod. LOAD 21.4 the TEMP COMP feature
compensates the approach altitudes from the FMS database
according to the destination temperature inserted on the landing page.
A compensated MDA (DA) is assigned on the TEMP COMP page and
must be used as current MDA (DA).
VPATH
With VPATH mode engaged the altitude selector must be set to
MDA for continuous VNAV descent.
VGP
Whenever the VGP mode is available
approaches are to be flown in VGP mode.
all
non-precision
Perform the approach conventionally and configure the aircraft in a

similar manner to an ILS approach.
On the heading to intercept the final approach track pressing the
APP button on the guidance panel arms the VGP mode. If preview
function is not presented and flying HDG mode, pressing APP
button also arms LNAV mode.
Intercepting the final approach descent path engages the VGP
mode and from this point the altitude selector can be set to the
missed approach altitude.
If it is the case the go-around is to be initiated from the glide path
at Decision Altitude rather than in a leveled MDA.
It is important to notice that pilots will fly the VGP as if they were in
a GS, but they have to go around in the DA or in the
MDA+something (depending on local authority). A reasonable
value for this something is 50 ft.
SOPM-1755
If a holding pattern is performed, VGP will only engage after the

FMS EXITING HOLD is active and with the airplane in the inbound
course of FAF.

PROCEDURES
VGP permits a glide path capture when the airplane is above the
desired GP if the vertical mode is ALT. This condition may cause
excessive descent angles, which may lead to destabilized
approaches specially when the engagement occurs at or in close
proximity of the FAF. For all other vertical modes, the VGP
behaves like an ILS and will capture the glide path only within a
certain frame (about 100 ft above or below path).

CIRCLING APPROACH
A circling maneuver is a maneuver initiated by the pilot to align the
aircraft with a runway for landing, when a straight-in landing from an
instrument approach is not possible or is not desirable. This maneuver
is initiated only, after the pilot has established visual contact with the
airport.
During Circling approaches, maximum use of the autopilot and
autothrottle should be made to minimize crew workload. Fly the
approach conventionally and configure the aircraft in a similar manner
to a precision or non-precision approach.
At FAF set Circling minimum on altitude selector.
Enter downwind leg using HDG mode and maintain a track parallel to
the landing runway approximately 1.5 NM abeam. Maintain downwind

GO-AROUND
No approach should be initiated unless the prevailing conditions have
been understood and the crew found that landing is acceptable without
undue risk. Philosophically all approaches should be treated as
approaches followed by missed approaches, and landing should be
treated as the alternate procedure. This mindset depends on a good
approach briefing, on the knowledge of the missed approach
procedure and on proper programming of the FMS.
Sufficient visual cues must exist to continue the approach below
DA(DH) or MDA. If visual cues are lost due to shallow fog, snow
flurries, or heavy precipitation, the pilot shall immediately initiate a goaround and fly the published missed approach procedure.
Although the PF is initially the responsible for the go-around callout,
the PNF may also make this callout. The flying pilots immediate
response to this callout by the PNF is execution of a missed approach.
Go around, when properly executed, involve little loss of altitude below
the altitude at which the go-around is started. Conducting a missed
approach when not stabilized on a final approach course should be as
follows:
-
If a go-around is required at any time while maneuvering in the

traffic pattern and visual conditions cannot be maintained,
perform a climbing turn toward the runway of intended landing.
When over the airport and climbing, turn (in the shortest
direction) to the missed approach fix and proceed with
published procedure.
To initiate the go-around press TOGA switch, ensure goaround thrust is set (TOGA position) or manually apply goaround thrust. Verify FMA annunciations (GA, TRACK and
GA). The TRACK mode is activated when TOGA button is
pressed and disengaged when another lateral mode becomes
active. The selection of another vertical mode de-activates the
GA mode. An automatic go-around cannot be initiated after
touch down.
The GA pitch mode initially commands a go-around attitude
and then transitions to speed as the rate of climb increases.
The GA roll mode maintains existing ground track.

LANDING
GENERAL
This section presents information pertinent to the landing phase of
flight that will enhance the ability to make the air-to-ground transition
as smooth and safe as it should be.
The airplane must be fully stabilized by 1000 ft from touchdown under
IMC conditions and by 500 ft under VMC conditions. A stable
approach is a contributing factor to a successful flare and touchdown.
Unstable approaches may result in difficult landings with unexpected
sink rates, side loads or bounce backs. An approach is considered
stabilized when all of the following criteria are met:
-
The aircraft is on the correct flight path;

Only small changes in heading/pitch are required to maintain
the correct flight path;
The aircraft is in the correct approach speed;
The aircraft is in the correct landing configuration;
Sink rate is not greater than 1000 ft per minute; if an approach
requires a sink rate greater than 1000 ft per minute, a special
briefing should be conducted;
Power setting is appropriate for the aircraft configuration;
All briefings and checklists have been conducted.
LANDING PROCEDURE
For a normal landing procedure, the landing configuration, gear down
and flaps should be established early on the final approach or at the
outer marker on an ILS or FAF on a non precision approach. Airspeed,
power and descent rate also should be stabilized early. Changes in
airspeed require changes in thrust and attitude. An airspeed deviation
is considered significant if it is 10 kt above target approach speed.
Indicated airspeed may not be less than the VREF or VAP.
SOPM-1755
A significant vertical speed deviation occurs when it is greater than

1000 ft/min (precision approaches) or 1500 ft/min (non-precision
approaches) when below 1000 ft AGL. If the stabilized approach
parameters are not met before reaching the stabilized approach
height, a go-around should be initiated.

LANDING
STANDARD
OPERATING
PROCEDURES
Make sure that the airplane is properly trimmed during the approach.
This maximizes elevator authority for the flare or in the event of a
missed approach.
Target approach speed is VAP, which is VREF plus wind correction. As
the airplane approaches the touch down point, initiate the flare
approximately 20 ft to 10 ft by reducing the rate of descent and slowly
reducing thrust levers to idle so that they are at idle when the airplane
touches down. Normally a 2 to 3 pitch change will be enough for the
flare.
Plan to touchdown at the runway touchdown zone, which is typically
located 1000 feet ahead from the runway threshold. Monitor the final
approach path using all reference available. Do not allow the airplane
to float in ground effect, which unnecessarily increases the landing
distance and risk of a tail strike.
After main wheel touches down, use autobrake or apply manual
braking as required for the runway condition and length available while
easing the nosewheel onto the runway. Pull thrust levers to reverse
and verify spoilers actuation. Autobrake will be disarmed by gradually
pressing brake pedals.
Reverse thrust should be selected consistent with runway conditions
and modulated as required. Apply thrust reversers cautiously and
observe how the airplane responds before full reverse is used.
Full reverse thrust should be used when landing over wet, slippery and
contaminated runways. Maintain maximum reverse thrust until the
airspeed is approximately 80 kt. Then smoothly reduce thrust reverse
to MIN REV at 60 kt and idle thrust at 30 kt. Thrust reverser is more
effective at high speeds; the use of reverse below 60 kt increases the
chances of foreign object ingestion by the engine. If necessary the
thrust reversers can be used until the airplane come to a complete
stop.
Page 2
SOPM-1755
Rudder control is effective to approximately 60 kt. Rudder pedal

steering is sufficient for maintaining directional control during the
rollout. Do not use the nosewheel steering tiller until reaching taxi
speed.

BRAKES USAGE
The following actions will give the optimum manual braking for all
runway conditions:
-
Pilot seat and rudder pedals should be adjusted so it is

possible to apply maximum braking with full rudder deflection;
Apply the brakes with no delay after the main landing gear
wheels have touched down. Move directly to a single firm and
steady brake application and hold pedal pressure until
decelerated to taxi speed. Apply pressure up to a maximum
comfortable deceleration;
Do not pump the brakes;
If the landing weight is limited by runway length, full reverse
and brakes should be used simultaneously to stop the
airplane;
Only use thrust reversers if necessary. Brake life is improved if
thrust reversers are not used;
If thrust reversers are necessary, use simultaneously with
brakes and stow them as soon as possible.
AUTOBRAKE
With autobrake set to LO, MED or HI verify after touchdown the
normal operation of the braking system and proper deceleration of the
airplane.
At 80 kts press the brakes pedal to disengage the autobrake and use
the necessary braking force to reach a safe taxi speed.
NOTE: The autobrake can be disengaged at any suitable speed after
touchdown by pressing the brakes pedals.
During the landing roll, if deceleration is not suitable for the stopping
distance, manual braking must be used. Apply continuous increasing
pressure to the brake pedals. Manual braking should begin before the
use of reverse thrust. Pilot must be alert for autobrake disengagement
indications during the landing roll.
EMERGENCY/PARKING BRAKE
Some Emergency and Abnormal procedures require the pilot to use
the Emergency/Parking Brake to stop the airplane during landing.

At high speeds, apply the Emergency/Parking Brake handle to stop

the airplane monitoring the Emergency/Parking Brake light and
maintain steady pressure. The brake system provides sufficient
pressure to start braking. As speed decreases the required handle
deflection increases to maintain continuous braking.
If a tire burst occurs applying the Emergency/Parking Brake, do not
release the Emergency/Parking Brake handle until the airplane stops.
LANDING ON WET, SLIPPE RY OR CONTAMINATE D

RUNWAYS
Wet or contaminated runways have much lower friction levels than a
dry runway; Friction depends on the runway surface, materials and
conditions. Runway contamination may reduce friction to very low
levels. The FAA defines that a runway is contaminated whenever
standing water, ice, snow, slush, frost in any form, heavy rubber, or
other substances are present. If such conditions exist at the time of
arrival and were not taken into account during dispatch, a landing
distance re-assessment must be conducted. The QRH presents tables
to aid this analysis.
Conduct a positive landing to ensure initial wheel spin-up and initiate
firm ground contact upon touchdown. Such technique avoids
hydroplaning on wet runways and reduces the strength of any ice
bond that might have been eventually formed on brake and wheel
assemblies during flight.
Stopping the aircraft with the least landing run must be emphasized
when landing on wet or slippery runways.
-
SOPM-1755
Anticipate the approach procedures and speeds: a wellplanned and executed approach, flare and touchdown

Immediately after touchdown, check the ground spoiler

CROSSWIND LANDING
Four methods for crosswind landing can be used:
Sideslip: In the sideslip condition, the airplane's longitudinal
axis remains parallel to the runway course, but the airplane no
longer flies straight along its original track. Downwind rudder
combined with aileron applied into the wind. The upwind
wheels touchdown before downwind wheels.
Crab: Proper rudder and upwind aileron. On very slippery

runways the crab may be maintained to touchdown, reducing
the drift toward the downwind when touchdown.
De-Crab: On final approach the crab is accomplished, just

prior to touchdown while flaring, downwind rudder is applied to
align the airplane with the runway centerline simultaneously
with aileron control (to keep wings level) into the wind. Both
main landing gear touchdown simultaneously.
Crab and Sideslip: The crab method is applied until the

touchdown. When the upwind wheels touchdown, a slight
increase in downwind rudder simultaneously with aileron
aligns the airplane with the runway centerline while keep the
wing level. This combined method may be used during strong
crosswind.

LANDING
AFFECTING
LANDING
The required landing distance for dispatch is calculated considering

that the landing will be performed with the airplane crossing the
runway threshold at the screen height of 50 ft and at VREF using
maximum manual braking. In order to stay within the operational
margins of the required landing distance the crew must conduct a
stabilized approach and use the correct landing technique.
Several environment factors, such as airport elevation, runway slope,
runway conditions and winds may affect the landing distance.
However, aside those factors, if the approach and landing is
performed with deviations from the standard procedures, the
operational margin available will be reduced or even exceeded.
The following operational factors, among others, have effect over the
airplane actual landing distance:
-
Crossing runway threshold with airspeed above VREF;
Crossing runway threshold above the screen height;
Extended Flare;
Unstabilized approach.
If the airplane crosses the threshold with 10 kt above the VREF, the
landing distance increases by approximately 20%. Crossing the
threshold at 100 ft instead of the normal screen height increases the
landing distance by approximately 35%.
Extending the flare during landing increases the landing distance
because the airplane will touchdown the runway in a point ahead of
the runway touchdown zone, usually located at 1000 feet from the
runway threshold. Extending the flare by 3 seconds increases the
landing distance by approximately 25%.
SOPM-1755
Considering an unstabilized approach, with the airplane crossing the

threshold at 100 ft, above VREF and with 3 seconds of extended flare,
the landing distance increases by approximately 80%. In this situation
the distance necessary to stop the airplane exceeds the operational
margins provided by the dispatch required landing distance.

RECOVERY FROM OFFSET POSITION

According to ICAO, required visual references means the section of
the visual aids or of the approach area which should have been in
view for sufficient time for the pilot which made the assessment of the
aircraft position and rate of position change, in relation to the desired
flight path.
Lateral and vertical offset may occur during any kind of approach,
when pilot cannot assess horizontal and/or vertical flight path, which
requires major corrections on the final visual section of flight
Upon recognizing an offset position, the pilot determines whether a
correction can be safely performed.
NOTE: In case of any doubt about a safe approach and landing, an
immediate go-around should be done.
On lateral and/or vertical offset approach, adequate monitoring of pitch
attitude, bank angle and power settings is required, together with
cockpit raw data instruments available in order to prevent crew
disorientation.
Lateral Offset
For lateral offset recovering, pilot shall select a reference point on the
extension of the runway centerline which is about half the distance to
the touchdown point, and establish aircraft toward this point. Maintain
proper thrust, airspeed and flight path. Shortly before crossing the
aiming point, pilot shall start turning to get established start a turn
aiming for the extended inner edge line.
Vertical Offset
High sink rates at low thrust settings are unsafe and may result in a
touchdown short of the runway or a high landing. A flat approach at
high thrust settings, if too low, may lead to an extended flare and long
floating landing.
To correct a vertical offset, the following procedures shall apply,
considering that pilot must adjust the aircraft to stabilize on the correct
flight path as soon as practicable, taking immediate and precise
action:
For a low offset position, establish level flight;
For a high offset position use maximum permissible sink rate
until stabilized on the correct flight path.

WINDSHEAR
The most important way to cope with windshear is to avoid areas of
known or potential windshear occurrence such as thunderstorms.
Severe windshear may be defined as a rapid change in wind direction
and/or velocity that results in airspeed changes greater than 15 kt or
vertical speed changes greater than 500 ft/min.
Whenever a windshear is suspected during landing the following
precautions should be taken:
-
During approach maintain the Vap with the applicable wind

additive corrections.
Select Flaps 5 unless limited by other landing performance

consideration.
If possible plan to land on the longest runway available, with

the lowest possibility of a windshear encounter.
Use the Weather Radar Virtual Controller Panel to adjust the

radar and get the best information about weather formations
on the airplane path.
Crew should monitor airspeed trend during approach. In the

first evidence of Windshear initiate a Go Around. If necessary
perform the windshear escape maneuver procedure.
Develop an awareness of normal airspeed, attitude and

vertical speed. The crew should closely monitor the vertical
flight path instruments, such as, vertical speed and altimeters,
and call out any deviations.

LOW VISIBILITY LANDING

When flying under conditions of haze, smoke, dust, glare or darkness,
aircraft height may appear higher than it actually is. Shadows are one
of the key factors in depth perception.
This effect is also encountered during night landings, or when smoke
or dust appears lying low across the threshold. The effect varies with
individuals and is modified by the intensity and clarity of runway
lighting. Situational alert must be emphasized on precision
approaches, since pilots tend to reduce power and drop below glide
path as soon as the runway is in sight.
Moisture on windshield interferes with visibility and may cause any
type of glide path illusion. Light rays will refract (bend) as they pass
through the layer of moisture of the windshield. You can appear to be
above or below the glide path or left or right of centerline. This can be
as much as 200 ft error at one mile from the runway which, when
combine with effect mentioned above, could result in risk of landing
short of runway threshold or in a long landing.
Crosscheck VSI for rate of descent and fly to the touchdown aim point.
REJECTED LANDING
The rejected landing procedure is similar to the go-around procedure.
Auto spoilers will retract and autobrake will disarm as thrust levers are
advanced for a rejected landing initiated after touchdown. Attention
must be given to the intended flight path as the published missed
approach procedure may not be valid after passing the published
missed approach point.
SOPM-1755
After reverse thrust is initiated, a full stop landing must be made due to
the time the reverser requires to transition from reverse to forward
thrust and the possibility that it does not stow back in the forward
thrust position.

BOUNCED LANDING
The bouncing occurs more frequently during landings by one or a
combination of the following factors:
Windshear;
Low-level turbulence;
High flare initiation;
Excessive rate of descent;
Late flare initiation;
Incorrect flare technique;
Excessive airspeed;
Power on touchdown.
SOPM-1755

REVISION 11

PROCEDURES AND
TECHNIQUES
LANDING
STANDARD
OPERATING
PROCEDURES
The key factor for a successful landing is a stabilized approach and

proper thrust/flare coordination. Do not extend the flare at idle thrust
as it will significantly increase landing distance. Reducing to idle
before the flare will also require an increase in pitch. Flaring high and
quickly reducing thrust to idle can cause the aircraft to settle abruptly.
Do not apply stabilizer trim during the flare.
Recovery from Light Bounce
When a light bounce occurs, maintain or re-establish a normal landing
attitude. Increasing pitch can lead to a tail strike. Beware of the
increased landing distance and use power as required to soften the
second touchdown. It is very difficult to evaluate landing distance
remaining and the airplane energy.
Recovery from a Severe Bounce
When a more severe bounce occurs, initiate a go-around and do not
attempt to land. Press the takeoff/go-around button and advance
thrust levers to TOGA. Hold the flare attitude until the engines spool
up and reset stabilizer trim, then follow normal go-around procedures.
If the airspeed has dropped below the VREF initiate the go-around
procedure and retract the flaps only when the airspeed becomes
greater than VREF.
TAIL STRIKE DURING LANDING

Tail strikes are more frequent during landings than takeoffs. In fact, tail
strikes occur more frequently during landings by a factor of two to one.
Based upon information gathered from tail strike occurrences,
deviation from the normal landing maneuver, below, is the main cause
of tail strikes. The mistakes most commonly made are:
Approach at improper pitch, speed, thrust and glide path;
Prolonged flare, hold-off for a smooth touchdown;
Starting to flare the aircraft too high above the runway;
Improper crosswind correction during flare;
Over-rotation during a touch and go.

REVISION 11
STANDARD
OPERATING
PROCEDURES
PROCEDURES AND
TECHNIQUES
LANDING
Of these commonly made mistakes, flaring the aircraft too high above
the runway has the greatest potential for a tail strike and resulting
damage. When the flare is started too high above the runway,
airspeed will decrease below VAPP causing the pilot to compensate.
When placed in this situation, the tendency is to continue to increase
pitch in an effort to arrest the excessive sink rate. The correct action to
take is to immediately lower the pitch attitude and fly the aircraft to the
runway before the airspeed dissipates any further. This corrective
action will prevent a tail strike.
Lack or poor handling could lead to a destabilized approach thus
increasing the tail strike exposure.
OVERWEIGHT LANDING
Overweight landing may safely be accomplished by using normal
landing procedures and techniques. There are no adverse handling
characteristics associated with heavier than normal landing weights.
Select the longest available runway, when feasible. Slope and wind
effects should also be considered.
Where possible avoid landing in tailwinds, on runways with negative
slope or runways with less than normal braking conditions.
Reduce the landing weight as much as possible. To save time and at
pilot discretion this can be done using high drag configuration (landing
gear and/or speed brake) and flying at a lower altitude (respect MORA
and MSA).
Wind additives may be impacted by flap placard speeds.
At weights above the maximum landing weight, the final approach
maximum wind correction may be limited by the flap maneuvering
speed.
Configure the aircraft earlier so you will have more time to get used to
the higher approach speeds.
Do not carry excess airspeed on final.
SOPM-1755
It is recommended to land under VMC. You will have more time to

focus on the handling of the aircraft rather than on the instruments
panel.

LANDING
STANDARD
OPERATING
PROCEDURES
Brake energy will not be exceeded for flaps 5 or FULL landing at all
gross weights. Although, give special attention to wet or slippery
runways. The brake energy limits may be exceeded when landing at
high gross weights at speeds associated with non-normal procedures
requiring flaps set at 5 or less.
Try a smooth landing. In the other hand, do not allow the aircraft to
float above the runway. Consider a go-around if a long landing is likely
to occur.
The maximum rate of descend is 300 ft/min at touchdown. Use
maximum reverse thrust down to 60 kt. If stop capability is in doubt
use it until certain that the aircraft will stop within limitations. Use
brakes consistent with runway length, auto brakes may be used.
Maintenance inspection is required after landing (report AGW and rate
of descent on the TLB).
NOTE: Alert ground crew if brake temperature is too high.
TOUCH AND GO LANDING

The primary objective of touch and go procedure is approach and
landing training practice and to reduce the amount of training time
wasted in taxing the aircraft back to the holding point.
In order to maintain a high level of safety, they must be conducted in a
proper disciplined manner.
BASIC CONSIDERATIONS
-
Reverse thrust and brakes (auto or manual) will not be used

during touch and go procedures;
At touch down and both thrust levers in idle thrust, the
Autothrottle automatically disconnects;
Follow the published Visual Approach Pattern to configure the
airplane.
The following techniques are to be used:

The trainee should accomplish a normal final approach and
landing;

On final approach, the Altitude Selector should be set to

Traffic Altitude;
The trainee will land the nose wheel after main landing gear
touchdown and track the runway centerline;
The instructor move the flap handle to Flaps 4, configure pitch
trim so that the green pointer is indicating to the green takeoff
band, yaw and roll trim to neutral;
The trainee will press TOGA button and manually advance the
thrust levers to TOGA position;
The instructor will check thrust;
NOTE: The ENG TLA NOT TOGA CAS MSG may be displayed if the
TOGA levers position is not correctly reached.
- If the trainee is the PF, he/she will keep his/her hand on
throttles to prevent any inadvertent reduction of power or
unwanted stop;
- The trainee will rotate performing a normal TO procedure;
- At positive rate of climb, the instructor will retract the landing
gear, select the speed bug to 160 kt, retract flaps to flaps 2 on
the F-bug for the visual traffic pattern at pilot discretion and reengage the Autothrottle.
General RTO guidance can be used to decide to interrupt the touch
and go procedure. In case of emergency, the decision to abort is
solely at the instructors discretion. He/She will call "REJECT" and
simultaneously take control of the airplane and bring it to a halt using
maximum braking and reverse. Once the airplane has stopped, he/she
will call for any appropriate Emergency/Abnormal checklist.
SOPM-1755
The decision to discontinue a Touch and Go after the application of

TO power, must only be taken if the instructor is certain that the
airplane cannot safely fly.

DITCHING
This procedure is intended for use in case of emergency landing on
water and enough time is available to prepare the passengers.
If ATC contact is possible, set transponder code 7700 (if not transmit
in blind), transmit a distress messages MAYDAY with your present
position, course, altitude, speed, situation, time available and intention
of touchdown. If possible ditch near shorelines, offshore platforms or
boats.
When the decision has been made to ditch the airplane, using the
QRH, complete the ditching preparation checklist.
Pilot should inform pursers and passengers of the upcoming event and
passes the following information:
-
Nature of the ditching;

Review emergency checklist, landing and evacuation
procedures;
How the flight crew will signal cabin crew to start evacuation;
How much time is left;
Exits available for evacuation and crew duties;
Secure all loser equipment in cabin and cockpit;
Any further instructions that might be deemed necessary;
Advise crew and passengers to prepare for ditching and
assume protective position. It must be transmitted from the
cockpit 30 seconds before ditching or at any moment an
accident
occurs,

using
the
phraseology:
IMPACT/IMPACT/IMPACT.
Plan to land with maximum flap available and burn off fuel to a
minimum onboard to increase buoyancy. Leave the gear UP.
SOPM-1755
Consider landing parallel to waves taking in account wind direction

and sea condition. If at all possible, land parallel to the swell, not
across it. The best location is along the crest of the swell which
minimizes the chance of a wingtip digging into the water. Second best
is in the trough or bottom of the swell.

during flare and keep flying the aircraft at all times until touchdown.
After touchdown, reduce thrust to idle. If engine is not running maintain
minimum speed of 130 KIAS.
After the aircraft has come to rest, proceed to assigned ditching
stations and evacuate as soon as possible, assuring that all
passengers are out of the aircraft. Note that entry into water is always
considered "catastrophic" and the cabin crew will initiate evacuation
without further instructions from the flight deck.
