4. GROUND MANEUVERING
4.1. GENERAL INFORMATION
This section provides the aircraft turning capability and maneuvering characteristics. To facilitate the
presentation, these data have been determined from theoretical limits imposed by the geometry of the
aircraft.
As such, they reflect the turning capability of the aircraft in favorable operating circumstances. These
data should be used only as guidelines for the method of determination of such parameters and for the
maneuvering characteristics of the aircraft.
In the ground operating mode, varying airline practices may demand that more conservative turning
procedures be adopted, to avoid excessive tire wear and reduce possible maintenance problems.
Variations from standard aircraft operating patterns may be necessary to satisfy physical constants
within the maneuvering area, such as adverse grades, limited area, or high risk of jet blast damage. For
these reasons, the ground maneuvering requirements should be coordinated with the using airline prior
to the layout planning.
This section is presented as follows:
• The turning radii for nose landing gear steering angles.
• The pilot’s visibility from the cockpit and the limits of ambinocular vision through the windows.
Ambinocular vision is defined as the total field of vision seen by both eyes at the same time.
• The performance of the aircraft on runway-to-taxiway, taxiway-to-taxiway and runway holding bays
dimensions.

PLANNING MANUAL
To determine the minimum dimensions for runway and taxiway where the aircraft can be operated, the
reference code of the aircraft must be determined.
The reference code of a specific aircraft is obtained in accordance with the Aerodrome Design and
Operations - Volume 1, by the ICAO.
The code is composed of two elements, which are related to the aircraft performance characteristics and
dimensions:
• Element 2 is a letter based on the aircraft wingspan and outer main landing gear wheel span.
In accordance with the table, the reference code for the EMBRAER 195STD and 195LR is 3C and the
reference code for the EMBRAER 195AR is 4C.
NOTE:
• Classification considering CF34-10E7 engines.
• This classification may change depending on aircraft engine model and takeoff weight.
With the reference code it is possible to obtain the limits of the runway and taxiway where the aircraft
can be operated.
• For reference code 3C the limits are:
The width of a runway should be not less than 30 m (98 ft 5 in);
The width of a taxiway should be not less than 15 m (49 ft 2 in);
The design of the curve in a taxiway should be such that, when the cockpit remains over the taxiway
centre line marking, the clearance distance between the outer main landing gear wheels of the
aircraft and the edge of the taxiway should not be less than 3 m (9 ft 10 in);
The clearance between a parked aircraft and one moving along the taxiway in a holding bay should
not be less than 15 m (49 ft 3 in).
• For reference code 4C the limits are:
The width of a runway should be not less than 45 m (147 ft 7.6 in);
