FINAL SEGMENT
Extends from the end of the third segment to a gross height of at least 1500 feet, with flaps up,
maximum continuous power, and at final segment speed.
ENROUTE CLIMB
Climb with flaps 0°, landing gear retracted, and maximum continuous power on one engine.
APPROACH CLIMB
Climb from a missed or aborted approach, with flaps 15°, gear up, and takeoff power on one
engine, at the maximum landing weight, and at the adopted approach climb speed.
LANDING CLIMB
Climb from a balked landing with landing flaps, landing gear extended, takeoff power on both
engines, and at the adopted landing climb speed.
The ratio, in the same unit, expressed as a percentage of the change in geometric height
divided by the horizontal distance travelled in a given time. The gradients shown on the charts
are true gradients, i.e., they are derived from true (not pressure) rates of climb.
The demonstrated gross gradient reduced by: 0.8% during takeoff phase and 1.1% enroute.

DEMONSTRATED CROSSWIND
The maximum demonstrated crosswind component for takeoff and landing is 30 knots mea-
sured at tower height of 10 m (32.8 ft). The demonstration was made with both engines operat-
ing on a dry runway.
NOISE LEVELS
The noise levels shown comply with FAR Part 36, which are equal to or more severe than the
requirements outlined in ICAO Annex 16.
The Effective Perceived Noise Levels (EPNL) established in accordance with FAR 36 are:
Sideline 83.9 94
Takeoff 82.3 89
Approach 92.7 98
These values are stated for reference conditions of standard atmospheric pressure at sea level,
25°C ambient temperature, 70% relative humidity, and zero wind.
Takeoff and sideline noise levels were established at the maximum takeoff weight of 26433 lb
(EMB-120ER), V2 + 10 KIAS climb speed, 15° flaps, and all engines with maximum takeoff
power setting.
Approach noise levels were established from a 3° glide slope at the maximum landing weight of
25794 lb (EMB-120ER), approach speed of 1.3 VS + 10 kt, and 45° flaps.
No special noise abatement procedure were used.
No determination has been made by the Federal Aviation Administration that the noise levels in
this manual are or should be acceptable or unacceptable for operation at, into or out of any air-
port.

APPROACH AND LANDING
AIRPLANE FLIGHT MANUAL
GENERAL
The charts on the following pages present approach and landing speeds, approach and landing
climb gradients, maximum landing weights and landing field lengths.
PROCEDURES
For final approach, wing flaps should be at the selected landing position and the speed set
according to the flaps configuration at the value given here. At 50 ft, the throttles are reduced
smoothly. Apply brakes when the airplane is firmly on the ground with nose wheel in contact.
Refer to Section 4 (Normal Procedures) for more detailed information on landing procedures.
NOTE: Landing field lengths were not based on use of propeller reverse; however, landing dis-
tances can be decreased by using reverse.
CHART PRESENTATION
The Approach Climb Gradient is shown as a function of true outside air temperature, airport
pressure altitude, and gross weight, taking into account the bleed and airplane configuration
effects.
The Landing Climb Gradients (flaps 25° or 45°) are shown as a function of true outside air tem-
perature, airport pressure altitude, and gross weight, taking into account the bleed effect.
The adopted Approach Climb Speed is V2 (refer to Takeoff Speeds – VR and V2 chart).
The adopted Landing Climb Speed for flaps 25° is presented in the Landing Climb Gradient –
Flaps 25° chart.
The adopted Landing Climb Speed for flaps 45° is presented in the Landing Climb Gradient –
Flaps 45° chart.
The maximum allowable landing weight approach climb limited for flaps 15° is shown as func-
tion of pressure altitude and true outside air temperature, taking into account the bleed and air-
plane configuration effects.
The maximum allowable landing weight landing climb limited, for flaps 25° and 45°, are shown
as a function of pressure altitude and true outside air temperature, taking into account the bleed
effect.

CHART PRESENTATION (Continued)
The maximum allowable landing weight is shown, for flaps 25° and 45°, as a function of the
available field length and airport pressure altitude, taking into account wind component and
alternative destination.
Also, these charts may be used, in a reverse may, to obtain the landing distance required from
50 ft height to rest.
The landing distances shown include the factor prescribed in the regulations; therefore, the val-
ues obtained may be equated directly with the landing distance available.
The Landing Reference Speed, to be used for the selected flap configuration, is also presented
in these charts, as a function of the gross weight.
The landing weight is shown, for flaps 25° and 45°, as a function of true outside air temperature
and airport pressure altitude, taking into account wind component and runway slope effects.
