INTRODUCTION
QUICK START
Welcome to Wilco's simulation of the

Embraer Regional Jet, the E-170/190.
Taking to the air for the first time in
February, 2002, this regional jet is the
smallest variant offered by Embraer, and
was designed to compete with their CRJ
700/900 and Q400 series. It was also
meant to replace the BAe-146 and Fokker
70. She's got a passenger capacity of 78,
and tips the scales at an empty weight
21,140 Kgs/56,638 Lbs. Powered by 2 GE
DF34-8E turbofans fitted with FADEC, she's
got a maximum ceiling of 41,000 feet,
cruising speed of 460 kts, a range of 3,889
Km/2,416 Miles, and may easily operate
routes such as Paris to Moscow, Dallas to
Halifax or Brasilia to Caracas. Current
customers include Alitalia, US Airways, LOT
Airlines, Air Caribes, Egyptair, Virgin Blue,
Air France Regional and others.
POWERING UP YOUR BIRD
As you will soon see, the flight deck sports

an all digital cockpit. With the exception
of the ailerons, the flight controls are all
fly by wire. Of particular interest to the
airlines, the jet has ten minute single point
refueling, and the under wing engines may
be serviced from the ground without
stands. There are forward and aft doors on
both sides of the fuselage that permit rapid
entry/exit with simultaneous servicing. A
regional jet by all counts, this is an aircraft
that could become the standard for all
short to medium distance carriers.

and ice/no ice conditions), and enter them
via the Takeoff Page 3 in the FMS. On
average, these speeds should be adequate:
V1 - 133; VR - 136; V2 - 142; VFS - 198. Enter
the numbers into the scratch pad (this
process will be explained a little bit later),
and left click the appropriate key next to the
V speed you wish to enter. The V speeds will
appear at the bottom of the speed tape:
FMC (Flight Management Computer) or

directly on the PFD. We'll get back to that
later.
Open the pedestal (shift-4 via the keyboard)
and with the parking brake released, left
click the T/O CONFIG button just above the
throttles. If you are properly configured for
departure, you'll hear "Takeoff Okay". If
you've forgotten something, you'll hear about
it!
A hidden click spot over SPEED will rotate
the knob to either FMS or MAN. In FMS, the
Flight Management Computer will be
responsible for your speed management. In
MAN, the speeds are entirely up to the crew
to manage. Remember that even with this
knob to FMS, the A/T button must be
pressed and the Auto Throttle engaged in
order to have automated speed
management!
APU is
running
Unlike the EMB 145, takeoff data does not
need to be entered/stored into the FADEC,
and although unnecessary, it is possible to
alter the takeoff information via the FMC.
11.Shut down the APU by a left mouse click.
12.Lower flaps to takeoff (2), left click below
the Slat/Flap lever on the pedestal.
13.Confirm your pitch trim is within the
green band. I find a value of 5.9 is best.
You're now ready to taxi to the active and

depart. You will find the 170/190 handle
beautifully by hand. At this point we've not
input a flight plan into the FMC, nor
programmed any other flight parameters that
will be necessary in order to simulate a
commercial flight.

your appropriate take off speeds, accounting

Your Embraer sports three glass gauges,
collectively known as EFIS (Electronic Flight

of the PFD (Primary Flight Display), the MFD
(Multi Function Display) and the EICAS (Engine
Indication and Crew Alert System). Unlike its
smaller sibling, the 170/190 is not equipped
with a Radio Management Unit. Rather, the

current vertical mode.
The flight path reference line (FPR) is
displayed when the FPA is active. Pressing
the FPR button in the display controller
panel displays the FPR line regardless of the
active vertical mode.
Flight path angle (+/- 9.9 degrees) is
selected with the FPA SEL selector knob on
the guidance panel of the GP.
Takeoff - (TO)
This is an FD only mode and is represented
by crossbars on the PFD. It commands the
aircraft to maintain a pitch attitude
reference. Pressing the TOGA click spot
(invisible click spot above the AP button)
activates the TO mode. TO mode is
deactivated when another vertical mode is
selected, AP/FD TCS button is pressed or AP
is activated. The initial TO guidance is the
flap-pitch indication as follows:
FLAP 1 - pitch 11 degrees

Altitude Select - (ASEL)
This mode captures and levels off at the
altitude selected via the ASEL knob and
displayed on the PFD. A Green ASEL is
displayed on the FMA while the altitude
select mode captures the pre-selected
altitude, then a Green ALT is displayed when
leveled off at the selected altitude.
Altitude select is armed automatically
whenever any vertical FD mode is selected.
Flight Level Change - (FLCH)
FLCH provides flight path command to climb
or descend according to the speed selected
in the Speed Selector knob. The selected
speed is displayed in the box above the
speed tape on the PFD, and when your
altitude approaches FL290, it switches from
IAS to Mach readout during climb, and from
Mach to IAS during descent. FLCH mode is
activated by pressing the FLCH button. It
deactivates when another vertical mode is
selected.
VNAV only selects the appropriate vertical

mode to accomplish the vertical profile.
VNAV sub-modes are VARM, VFLCH, VASEL,
VALT and VPATH.
VFLCH (VNAV Flight Level Change): AFCS
maintains the manual or FMS speed
controlling the aircraft's pitch attitude.
When in VALT mode, the VFLCH mode may
be selected by pressing the FLCH button on
the GP with the Alt Selector set to an
altitude other than the aircraft's current
level.
VASEL (VNAV Altitude Capture): This
captures the Alt Selector altitude or the FMS
waypoint altitude constraints.
VALT (VNAV Altitude Hold): This maintains
the altitude commanded by the FMS or the
Alt Selector. If the VNAV is disengaged while
in VALT the active mode becomes FPA.
VPATH (VNAV Path): In this mode the FMS
flies a constant descent angle between two
waypoints.
Altitude Hold - (ALT)

Selected by the ALT button, this enables the
altitude hold mode. The altitude maya be
selected via the ALT SEL knob. After ALT
mode engagement, change to another
vertical mode is possible only by selecting a
different altitude via the ALT SEL knob.
SPEED CONTROL
Vertical Speed - (VS)

This mode maintains a vertical speed rate.
VS is activated by pressing the VS button on
the GP. It has a range from -8000 ft/min to
+ 6000 ft/min.
Speed control may be manual or automatic

(FMS directed) depending on the selection
on the Speed Selector Knob. The FMS
selection allows the FMS to send its defined
speeds as target speeds for FGCS.
MANUAL - With the knob set to MAN, you are
responsible for speed control during the
entire flight.
Vertical Navigation - (VNAV)

The VNAV may be enabled manually by
pressing the VNAV button on the GP when
altitude is above 400 feet, or automatically
upon crossing 400 feet after ground arming.
FMS - In FMS, the speed commands are sent

from the FMS for departure, climb, cruise,
descent, approach and (if necessary) go

around. See the FMS page PERFORMANCE

INITIALIZATION on page 1 of 3. Note by
using the "OR" buttons on LSKR3, 4, & 5
these settings may be modified in flight.
Also note if the Auto Throttle is not engaged
you are responsible for speed control during
the entire flight!
AUTOTHROTTLE FMA INDICATIONS

SPDT - Speed on Thrust
SPDE - Speed on Elevator (Flight Level
Change Thrust)
TO - Take Off Thrust Control Mode
GA - Go-Around Thrust Control Mode
HOLD - Take Off Thrust Hold Mode
RETARD - RETARD Mode
SPEED ON THRUST (SPDT)
Thrust rate as programmed to maintain the
desired (set) speed. Vertical modes relating
to SPDT are: Flight Path Angle (FPA) - the
basic vertical mode; Vertical Speed (VS);
Glide Slope (GS); Altitude Hold (ALT);
Altitude Select (ASEL).
FLIGHT LEVEL CHANGE THRUST CONTROL
MODE - SPEED ON ELEVATOR (SPDE)
The Auto Throttle maintains a fixed thrust
setting, and the Auto Pilot maintains the
selected speed via an elevator command.
For small flight level changes (FLCH mode)
the Auto Throttle commands thrust needed
in order to maintain a comfortable
predetermined rate based on vertical speed.
For large flight level changes, the Auto
Throttle commands climb in setting CLIMB
rating and descent in IDLE rating. The
vertical modes relating to SPDE mode are:
Flight Level Change (FLCH); Overspeed
(OVSP).
TAKEOFF THRUST CONTROL MODE (TO)
The Auto Throttle commands the thrust to
TO/GA position when the AT is engaged and
you've pressed the Takeoff/Go Around
button.
22
AUTOFLIGHT
GO-AROUND THRUST CONTROL MODE (GA)

The Go-Around mode advances the throttles
to the TO/GA position.
TAKEOFF THRUST HOLD CONTROL MODE
(HOLD)
The HOLD mode prevents movement of the
thrust levers that could result in nastiness
occurring during the TO phase. It is
activated when TO mode is active and IAS is
greater than 60Kt.
RETARD MODE
This retards the thrust levers to idle position
during flare on landing. It activates based
on a Radio Altitude of less than 30 feet and
the aircraft is in landing configuration.
Once there is weight-on-wheels or wheel
spin-up, the auto throttle automatically
disengages.
ILS APPROACH
(also known as "How do I put this thing down
without breaking anything?")
The E170/190 is capable of two system
capability levels:
APPROACH 2 (APPR 2) - ILS CAT II capable.
APPROACH 1 (APPR 1) - ILS CAT I capable.
FMA Annunciation:
When executing an ILS approach, the

Autopilot Approach Status Annunciator
displays the current status of the system and
will advise if your intended approach is
available with system capabilities. The
RA/BARO selector and RA Minimums setting
are what the system looks to for information
regarding your intended approach. This part
is important, so take a break and grab a
sandwich. I'll wait.
How was the sandwich? Ok, pay attention or

you'll wonder why you can't autoland this
thing.
The RA/BARO selector and RA Minimums
settings are what the aircraft system looks
to for information about how you intend to
land the bird. Note there are two MINIMUMS
knobs on each side of the panel (are you
writing this down?). When ILS modes are
requested by pushing the APP button, the
system will arm for the highest landing
configuration available to it depending on
how the panel is currently set. Kind of
freaky, but it knows this. When it sees all
the necessary requirements are not met, an
EICAS message is sent telling you in no
uncertain terms that Category II ILS
approach mode is not available. It is your
fault. Read the manual.
ALL THIS STUFF HAS TO BE DONE

AT OR ABOVE 800 FT. RA.
If the flap setting is the only remaining
condition that needs to be accomplished for
a CAT II, the "armed" status will remain
displayed until you reach 800 ft. RA,
reminding you there is still something that
needs to be addressed. Annoying, but
important.
Your aircraft is looking for the following as
you approach an ILS situation:
At 1,500 Ft. the system starts attempting to
engage the highest CAT available, based on
current settings.
At 800 ft. the system "freezes" the highest
capability available, and you are stuck with
it.
You may wish to mark these pages.
Just a thought.
Here is what you need to set in order to

accomplish CAT I and II approaches:
CAT I - Set RA/BARO selector to BARO on
BOTH SIDES.
CAT II - Set RA/BARO selector to RA and
adjust Minimums to at least 80 feet.
The operational conditions necessary to
accomplish a CAT II approach are:
1. RA/BARO set to Radio Altitude (RA) and
Minimums at 80 feet or above.
2. Both NAV set to correct LOC frequency.
3. Both PFD's set to correct LOC inbound
course (V/L or Preview).

Progress (PROG) displays three pages of
information pertaining to the current status
of your flight. Pressing the BLANK button
displays a small 'K' in the upper left of the
data window, and toggles keyboard entry
into the FMC.
In order to give you a flavor of the

programming of the FMS, we'll use our
ubiquitous flight from Islip McArthur Airport
(KISP) to Albany International Airport (KALB).
In this screen shot, the 'K' is visible in the

upper left corner, signifying the ability to
enter information via keyboard. Note the
'MOD' flight plan. This will remain displayed
until you hit the LSKR6 and activate the
plan, at which time the 'MOD' changes to
'ACTIVE'. Note: If you find your Flight
Simulator is not accepting keyboard input,
check to see if you've enabled keyboard
entry to the FMC! The 'NO PRESENT
POSITION' tells you you've neglected to tell
the FMC your current location.
Left click LSKR2 in order to update the FMC

as to your current position. Without this
step, you'll be navigating by visual reference
only.
Once you've powered the unit, this is what

you'll see. We'll keep this simple and enter
only what we need to complete a flight.
From here, press LSKR6 to initialize your
current position.
LINE SELECT KEYS - Data is selected to or

from the scratchpad, and selects a page if
indicated by an arrow.
Ok, the FMC knows where you are. Now

you've got three choices in telling it where
you want to go and how to get there. You
could choose LSKL6 providing you've already
saved this flight in the format which is read
by the software running your FMC. Your
next choice is to add your route manually.
This is fun but time consuming and prone to
error. Speaking for myself, I'll choose LSKL2
every time. This choice automatically reads
and loads your currently selected FS flight
plan. Easy, quick and no errors.
TUNING KNOB - Rotating with the mouse

wheel or left/right clicks modifies
frequencies and other numeric values.
ALPHA NUMERIC BUTTONS - Enter
alphanumeric inputs, SP (Space Key) inserts
a space, a toggle of the +/- key inserts the
corresponding entry.
PREV/NEXT AND CLR/DEL BUTTONS Previous (PREV) changes current page to the
previous page. NEXT advances to the next

Having pressed LSKL2, you now see page one

of three of your flight plan. Also note at the
top it indicates a modified flight plan (MOD
FLT PLAN). Once you press LSKR6 and
activate it, it will become your active flight
plan and will present you with a new set of

in handy.
If you know your departure runway from

listening to ATIS, press LSKL6 and enter it.
This screen will vary widely depending on

runway and airport. Here we have no
options other than to clear what we've
selected so far (useful if ATC changes your
departure runway on you unexpectedly), to
return to the prior screen or to insert
runway 06 into our flight plan with LSKR6.
Had you not entered your departure

information earlier, LSKL6 would give you
the opportunity to do so from this screen.
Also you may always press PERF, and be
presented with a whole host of options from
which to choose. For now, press LSKR6 and
we'll initialize the performance information
so the bird knows how much fuel, passengers
and cargo she'll be carrying, and how high.
Page 2 of 3. When you see dashed lines, the

FMC would like you to enter information. In
this case, how much fuel do you wish to add
for your reserves? This is currently displayed
in pounds, but may be changed to kilograms.
Using the number pad, I've entered 6000
pounds of fuel set for reserve. They don't
refer to me as "Wrong Way" for nothing.
Press LSKL2 to enter the fuel value. LSKR2
will give you further options, too.
Press LSKL2 for runway 06.
And there is runway 06 listed as your Origin.

Now either cancel with LSKL6 or activate
with LSKR6.
Now press LSKL6 to review your options.

Any SID or DP (Standard Instrument
Departure or Departure Procedures) will be
found here for your selection. A quick
review of the departure charts would come

Use the three OR buttons to access the page

to alter your climb, cruise and descent
speeds if you intend to have the FMC
manage your throttles during flight.
The "OR" button always alerts you
to further options available
Note this is page 1 of 3. You are okay
leaving this page as is. From here, click on
the NEXT button to access the next pages.
Page 3 of 3, and an important one. Confirm

your transition altitude, which changes. The
United States uses FL180 (18,000 feet).
Other nations use lower levels. Enter the
appropriate level using LSKL1 by entering it
via number pad into the scratchpad, and
then press LSKL1. Your zero fuel weight is
entered the same way in LSKL6. Figure the
ZFW by subtracting the fuel weight from the
gross weight. Go to the menu bar,
Aircraft/FUEL AND PAYLOAD for these
27
figures. Once you enter this as above, the

remaining values will be auto filled for you.
You'll want to enter your anticipated cruise
altitude in the format 23000 into the scratch
pad, and then LSKR3.
Now here's a neat little trick you'll want to
know. Should you wish to "color outside the
lines" just a little, take advantage of the
included Fuel Manager.
Confirm your entries with LSKR6. Once

done, you're presented with the
Performance Data page option.
Keyboard Entry button. A 'K' will appear in

the upper left to alert you.
Your keyboard will NOT transmit commands
to FS until you press it again!
Thrust Rating Select (TRS)
Visit the Performance Index to jump to any

page you may need. Also note the blank key
beneath the FPL key. Press this for keyboard
entry.
By entering 'FUEL' into the scratchpad, and
then entering it via LSKR5, several items will
be calculated for you: Your fuel to
destination will be calculated, entered into
the FMC and loaded into your aircraft; Fuel
to an alternate destination will be
calculated, entered and loaded (providing
you've entered an alternate plan in the
FMC); Fuel for an average taxi and 3,200 lbs
of reserve fuel will be added and loaded;
your Zero Fuel Weight will be calculated and
added. Not exactly "real world", but you
don't have to use it.
LSKR6 for the PERF DATA page.
You may bypass pages 1 and 2. Here on

page 3 we are entering our takeoff V
Speeds. Refer to the V Speed charts for the
values. Entering is as usual: number keypad
to the scratchpad, then LSKL 1 for V1, LSKL2
for VR etc. Navigate to the Landing page,
and eventually you'll enter the landing
speeds the same way.
Nothing to change here. Same for pages 2
and 3. Press LSKR6 for the Takeoff page.
28
Climb-1 is selected, highlighted in Green.

Click LSKR2 to select Climb-2
Click LSKR6 for manual thrust rating
selection options.
Pressing the TRS button brings you here.

The TRS automatically figures the engine
thrust according to the flight phase. This
may also be selected manually, as will be
explained below.
In this screen shot, Thrust Rating is Auto in
Take Off (TO) phase. TLA TRIM is basically a
passenger comfort tool which reduces
excessive thrust lever movements. It is ON
whenever AT is engaged. It will work even if
the AT is disengaged if you have set it ON, as
in the above picture.
29
The FADEC transmits the thrust rating and

N1 values that are figured by the TRS to the
EICAS. This is demonstrated in this manual.
The thrust ratings that are transmitted by
the TRS are:

FLIGHT PLAN DISCONTINUITIES
'ACTIVE FLT PLAN' on top of the display.
In order to remove a discontinuity, you have

two choices:
INTERCEPT COURSE
We've been directed by ATC to fly heading
014 to intercept the 010 radial of GFL (Glens
Falls VOR). Nothing to it. We'll do the
Direct To into GFL, and then input 190 into
LSKR5 (INTC CRS).
* Push the DEL function key and then select

the scratchpad "DELETE" on the LSKL or R
key adjacent to the discontinuity, or * Press the LSKL key adjacent to the
waypoint above the listed discontinuity. It
will appear in the scratch pad. Now press
the LSKL key adjacent to the discontinuity
and you will replace it with the waypoint
from the scratchpad.
Here, I've pressed LSKL2 and entered GFL

into the scratchpad. Now, press LSKL1.
FLYING DIRECT TO
If in the course of your flight you find the
need to fly to a waypoint other than the one
that is next in your flightplan, here is how
you do it:
Here you may set the TO thrust rate mode,

the TO temperature, the ATTCS ON or OFF
and FLEX TO mode. REF A/I is refers to antiice. Here you may select OFF, ENG (engine
anti-ice) or ALL. When anti-ice is in the
AUTO position, you must choose one of these
three options.
The flexible take off options provide
reduced thrust based on assumed
temperature. This assumed temperature is
set on the MCDU TAKEOFF page. The FADEC
determines flexible takeoff rates for any of
the three take off modes, reducing the
thrust and reducing engine wear.
As you see, the flight plan indicates it is

modified (MOD FLT PLAN), and is telling you
the DIRECT waypoint will now be GFL. You
may either CANCEL your command with
LSKL6 or ACTIVATE it with LSKR6.
Another option to this scenario is to simply

dial the requested radial (010) using the CRS
knob, tune the NAV 1 radio to the frequency
of the Glens Falls (GFL) VOR (110.2,
according to the default MS Map), and then
fly the requested heading (014). Ensure the
FMS is not the navigation source and press
the NAV button. The aircraft will turn to
follow the 010 outbound radial when it
crosses the inbound reciprocal (190). Cool,
eh?
Go to the Active Flt Plan page, as above,

and press the LSKL key adjacent to the
waypoint to which you wish to fly. In this
case, LSKL2.
TO-1 is the highest thrust rating available

with both engines operating normally taking
into account the thrust levers at the TOGA
position.
TO-2 & TO-3 are limited thrust settings, as
described on the FMC window.
30
We enter 190 as while the radial we're

directed to is 010, we've got to figure out
the reciprocal of the 010 heading as we're
on the "TO" side of the VOR. So, just add
180 degrees to the 10 degree heading, and
that gives you 190. The 190 radial is
actually the continuation of the 010 radial
on the opposite side (the side we happen to
be on). Now, take the 190 and enter it as
the INTERCEPT COURSE, and then ACTIVATE.
FMS must be the Nav source!
You know it has been accepted by the

I clicked LSKL3, TRIKY, at which to fly the

HOLD. Now I may choose to clear it or
insert it into the flight plan.
Access HOLD from either page.
FLYING PATTERNS
The flight plan has been modified (MOD),

and needs to be either canceled or
activated.
It is a simple matter to fly Holds, Procedure

Turns and Flyovers. We'll look at the most
common, Holds.
Any inbound course and/or turn direction at

LSKL2. Above, the entry is South (S) and
gives you a 'DIRECT' entry. Selecting N
automatically gives you a 'PARALLEL' entry, E
a 'TEARDROP' entry, and W a 'DIRECT' entry.
Holding at present position is achieved by
selecting the HOLD prompt from the NAV
index. Press the LSKL key adjacent to the
waypoint on top of page 1 of the active
flightplan.
Press the NAV button to bring up the NAV

INDEX.
If there is no HOLD already in the flight

plan, *HOLD* appears in the scratchpad as
above. If there is a HOLD, select LSKL6 for
NEW HOLD.
Now, select the LSKL key adjacent to the
waypoint at which you wish to fly the HOLD.
This is page 1 of 2. LSKR5 brings you to the

HOLD page. If you advance to page 2, LSKL2
will bring you to PATTERNS for HOLD,
FLYOVER and PCDR TURN.
Now active, note the Green box around the

'H' next to waypoint TRIKY at LSKL3. Your
bird will automatically fly the HOLD. This is
the default HOLD. It could have been
modified as below.
The HOLD FIX at LSKL1 is indicated as PPOS.
Note holding at present position may be
done only when LNAV is captured and the
crosstrack error is less than 0.25 NM.
A HOLD may be deleted from the active
flight plan. Go to the active flight plan page
showing the holding fix. Press the DEL key,
and *DELETE* appears in the scratchpad.
Press the LSKL key adjacent to the waypoint

that has the 'H' in the Green box. This will

delete the HOLD but not the waypoint.
Exiting a HOLD is done, naturally, during the
HOLD. The ACTIVE FLT PLAN page will
display an EXIT prompt. If you press this
before crossing the holding fix, the HOLD
pattern is deleted from the flight plan. If
you press EXIT after passing the waypoint
holding fix, you will turn back to the fix,
overfly it and continue with the flight plan.
You may also press the LSKL key adjacent to
RESUME HOLD.
Flyover and Procedure Turns are both done
in similar fashion.
