Manual Revision Status

Manual Revision Status


Manual holders are provided multiple ways to access current man-
ual and revision status information. The various platforms are
detailed as follows:
A. Airline Reservation System Listings/Entries
Each airline we operate for has a proprietary reservation system
with a location for posting our publication’s revision status. The
system must first be signed in with a valid ID/password that is
authorized for using these entries.

System/Listings: Entry
United Airlines Computer System (APOLLO)

For Shuttle America S*UAX/RPRP

Delta Air Lines Computer System (Deltamatic)

For Shuttle America G.S5*4719

B. Through the Company Intranet


All publications issued and tracked by the Publications Depart-
ment are posted in these reports. The procedure to access them
is as follows:
• Log onto the Shuttle America, Inc. Intranet page.
(www.flyShuttle.net, click on “Employee Login”)
• Click on the “Tech Pubs” link.
• Click on the “Manual Revision Status Reports” link.
C. E-mail Status Report
The Shuttle America- Current Manual Status report is distributed,
via E-mail, by the Publications Department on a regular basis (nor-
mally each week, but no more than two weeks). This report, in
addition to listing the current revision for company and selected
maintenance/operations publications, serves as a tool for tracking
the status of work in progress and submitted to the FAA for
approval.
The distribution dates are also listed for each publication. This
report is used by the Dispatch Department for updating the Flight
Release Document.
This report is also the official list of the Primary and Secondary
contacts for each applicable publication. This serves as an aid for
other Contacts to use in coordinating publications related respon-

sibilities.
Note:This information is kept up to date by the Manager of
Publications or a designee, IND, at (317) 484-6038.
D. Through Flight Release Document:
Flight crews can find the relevant revision status information in the
"REMARKS" section of the flight release.
It is the flight and cabin crew's responsibility to ensure that their
manuals are up-to-date BEFORE commencing the flight. Crew
members must have available during flight duty all publications
listed in the manual revision status provided in the remarks section
of the flight release.
Note: The Flight Release is kept up to date by Dispatch
upon receipt of the Manual/Revision Status Report.
E. Bulletins
Bulletins will be issued on an as needed basis to convey timely
information. Bulletin information may supersede current opera-
tional information found in the ERJ-170 POH or introduce new
procedures due to changes in the regulatory or operating environ-
ment. Bulletins will have either a verbal or written FAA accep-
tance or approval prior to distribution.
Bulletins are to be inserted in the area so designated on the first
page of the bulletin. Record the receipt of each bulletin on page
OBS-3. Bulletins will be removed once the material covered is
incorporated in a future ERJ-170 POH revision or it is no longer
valid. Bulletins will be numbered consecutively unless otherwise
specified.
The flight release will list current bulletins in the “REMARKS” area.
F. Required Reading
Memos issued from the Operations, Flight, and Inflight Depart-
ments take on two new concepts, 1) they become required
reading and 2) they are sequentially numbered in their category of
memo.
From a crewmember perspective you must have read any new
memo(s) prior to your next trip. You will have no sign-in obligation,
but you will be held in compliance with the content of the memo.
All memos will be placed on the pilot bulletin board at each base
and on the Company’s Intranet web site under Department News.
ERJ-170 Memos E170 04-000
The number 04 refers to the year and the next three numbers
denote the memo sequence.

Section 1 General Statement


The information contained in this publication represents the ERJ-
170 Pilot Operating Handbook (ERJ-170 POH) for Shuttle Amer-
ica and replaces the aircraft manufacturer’s Airplane Flight Man-
ual (AFM) in accordance with 14 CFR 121.141(b).
POH procedures, limitations, and performance information is
revised whenever a change to the AFM/AOM is issued by the
manufacturer.
The Airplane Operators Manual (AOM, VOL II), which contains
detailed system information, will be retained in each aircraft under
a separate cover.
Central to the ERJ-170 POH is the institution of Standard Operat-
ing Procedures (SOPs) for the ERJ-170 regional jet fleet.
Research has shown that standardized procedures and defined
cockpit communications are significant factors in maintaining flight
safety. SOPs form the shared mental model that flight crewmem-
bers need to perform their tasks effectively as a team. Promoting
team performance also accomplishes the main objective of Crew
Resource Management (CRM). Shuttle America is therefore com-
mitted to providing SOPs that are clear, comprehensive, and
readily available to its flight crewmembers.
At the same time, the SOPs presented in this manual aim to
reduce as much as possible the operational shortcomings com-
mon to human interaction. These may include improper coordina-
tion among flight crewmembers, improper coordination between
flight and cabin crewmembers, distraction from basic flying skills
and misunderstandings.

Chapter 1 General Policies
Section 1 General Statement

Volume 5
The information contained in this publication is based on flight
tests, and accumulated airline and flight training experience, and
embraces current industry philosophies of aircraft operation.
Through strict adherence to the procedures contained in this man-
ual, flight crewmembers will achieve the objectives of Shuttle
America which are to place safety, standardization, passenger
comfort, schedule reliability and economy in their proper order.
On a routine basis, non-standard procedures are unacceptable in
a professional cockpit. However, the pilot-in-command has the
final authority as to the disposition of the aircraft and may deviate
from standard procedures as circumstances warrant.

Section 2 Checklist Philosophy Normal Procedures
Flightdeck Checklist
Volume 5
Section 2 Checklist Philosophy Normal Procedures
Flightdeck Checklist
A. Philosophy
1. The use of standardized procedures and terminology reduces
confusion and promotes crew communication and
understanding throughout the flight. The proper use of the
Normal Procedures Flightdeck Checklist alleviates unsafe
practices, carelessness, and the development of
individualized procedures.
2. The Checklist is the flight crew's safety net to help ensure all
flows and procedures are accomplished correctly. The
checklist can only work effectively if it is accomplished
properly.
a. Checklists will be used in all phases of flight in accordance
with the policies and procedures listed in this section and
in the Pilot Handbook, if applicable.
b. Checklist policies and procedures will not compromise
aircraft operational capabilities for the exclusive purpose of
overall fleet standardization.
B. Design
1. The Normal Procedures Flightdeck Checklist is designed to
be quickly and easily accomplished in a logical time sequence
during the flight. Checklist groupings are selected so the items
are consistent with established flow patterns and can be
quickly accomplished. Normal checklists are used to verify
certain critical procedural steps have been accomplished.
2. Do-Verify
a. Normal checklists are "Do-Verify". Flow patterns and
procedures triggered by operation events are used to
complete all required normal actions prior to checklist
usage.
b. Exceptions:
The Safety & Power On Checklist and the Securing
Checklist are “Read and Do” Checklists.

1. The checklist incorporates the challenge and response
concept.

a. Challenger
1) The person who reads the checklist and verbally
issues the Challenge.
2) The challenger calls aloud (except for those check-
lists which are accomplished silently) all Challenges
and ensures the associated Responses are correct.

b. Responder
1) The person who verbally issues the Response.
2) The responder visually verifies each specific switch
position or action matches the correct checklist
Response.

has been accomplished and makes the verbal response.
3 The Response.
4 This symbol indicates “the line” and is placed in the checklist to indicate a
break in the sequence. Normally, some action (i.e., pushback, selecting
final landing flaps, etc.) must occur before the checklist can proceed.

Note: When reading the checklist and the next item is the line,
the challenger will state “Down to the Line.”
F. Procedures
Even though the following guidance clearly delineates crew-
member responsibilities, it does not alleviate the first officer from
bringing to the captain's attention a checklist or checklist item he
feels has been overlooked, improperly accomplished, or delayed
too long.
1. When?
a. The Checklist Guidance Table indicates when to call for
the appropriate checklist.
b. Checklist items should be accomplished before calling for
the pertinent checklist. The crew should accomplish their
specific functions and duties by following established flow
patterns.
c. A checklist should not be initiated until sufficient time and
attention can be devoted to its expeditious completion.

2. How?
a. The "Checklist Guidance Table" indicates who initiates,
reads, and responds to each specific checklist.
b. The following general procedures apply:
1) All pilots will be at their duty station while accom-
plishing the checklists.
a) Exception:
The Safety & Power ON, and the Securing Check-
lists.
c. Challenger must...
1) Read aloud, except for those checklists which may be
accomplished silently, all Challenges from the check-
list until its completion. Challenges will not be recited
from memory.
Note: If a checklist item has not been completed when
challenged, the pilot(s) responding will discuss (if
necessary) the item, complete it, and then issue the
Response.
2) Ensure the correct Response is verbalized.
d. Responder(s) must...
1) Verify the required switch position or action is correct.
2) Verbalize the exact checklist Response.
3. Verify
a. The PM reads the whole checklist item including the
“Verify” and expected Response.
b. The PF will verify that the required action is completed and
repeat the Response.
c. Example “Verify”.

1. Gear .............................Verify.............. Down, 3 Green

PF PM
Read aloud “Gear, verify, down
Maintain aircraft control

4. Specific Responses
a. If a component is not installed on the aircraft, the
responder will state "Not Installed."
b. When blank lines are in the printed response, the
responder will state the condition or position of the item
(e.g., "29.92,"etc.).
1) Example:
PM states "Altimeters, Verify, 29.92";
PF states "29.92"
c. Italicized, bracketed "[ ]" items are added for emphasis
only, and are not required to be read.
d. If a Response is a variable setting, usually denoted by "or",
then the appropriate Response is the actual position.
5. Checklist Interruption
a. A checklist shall be called for once it is ascertained that the
checklist can be completed in its entirety without interrup-
tion. If the completion of a checklist is interrupted, the crew
will repeat the last checklist item before the interruption.
b. If the crew is unsure at which point the checklist was inter-
rupted, the whole checklist must be repeated from the
beginning.
6. Checklist “Hold”
a. It is NOT permissible to commence a checklist with the
express intent of holding at a particular checklist item.
Again, checklists are to be completed in their entirety
without interruption.
b. There are two exceptions; In the BEFORE START and
LANDING Checklists.

the first pilot arriving at the aircraft. The Securing Checklist is normally accomplished by
the last pilot to leave the aircraft. NOTE: The Securing Checklist does not require
verbalizing “Securing Checklist complete” if the other pilot is not present.
2. The first flight number entered in the Maintenance Log for the current operational day
shall be considered the first flight of the day.
3. Read and accomplished silently; however, verbalize appropriate “After (Takeoff or

REV. 8, 15 SEP 2008 1-9


ERJ-170 Pilot Operating Handbook
Chapter 1 General Policies
Section 3 Non-Normal Checklist Philosophy

Volume 5
Section 3 Non-Normal Checklist Philosophy
A. Policy
1. Flight crewmembers will follow the non-normal procedures
located in the Quick Reference Handbook (QRH) or the
Emergency/Abnormal Checklists in this POH, to cope with or
contain non-normal situations. All actions must be
coordinated under the captain's supervision and performed in
a deliberate, systematic manner.
2. The QRC will be the primary reference whenever a non-
normal procedure contains either a memory item or an
immediate action item.
a. Memory Item - A memory item is defined as a task that
must be started as soon as possible after the Pilot Flying
(PF) recognizes the situation. The PF accomplishes the
task from memory and states the memory item. The Pilot
Monitoring will also accomplish the Memory Item when
appropriate (e.g. Oxygen Masks - On, 100%). All Memory
Items are formatted in black bold letters, all Caps, and the
text is located within a black bordered box.
b. Immediate Action Item - An immediate action item is
defined as a task that must be started as soon as possible
after the Pilot Flying (PF) commands the accomplishment
of the non-normal checklist and the task will be accom-
plished as a read-and-do item that the Pilot Monitoring
(PM) accomplishes while reading from the QRC. All
Immediate Action Items are formatted in black bold letters
and all Caps (no black bordered box). In the QRH, a heavy
black line is used to denote the break between the Imme-
diate Action Items and the remainder of the checklist.
3. Flight crewmembers must be thoroughly familiar with non-
normal procedures and the location and use of emergency
equipment. Any flight crewmember should be able to handle
the non-normal duties of any other crewmember.
4. The phrase non-normal procedures or checklists will be used
interchangeable with emergency/abnormal procedures or
checklist throughout this manual. Both reference the same
checklists and procedures contained in the Emergency/
Abnormal Checklist and the Abnormal Procedures chapters.

REV. 8, 15 SEP 2008 1-10


ERJ-170 Pilot Operating Handbook
Chapter 1 General Policies
Section 3 Non-Normal Checklist Philosophy

Volume 5

B. Non-Normal Checklists
Checklists cannot be created for all conceivable situations and are
not intended to preclude good judgement. In some cases devia-
tion from checklists may, at the discretion of the captain, be nec-
essary.
C. Design
Non-normal checklists are used to accomplish and verify each
step of a single emergency or abnormal procedure and must be
performed in sequence, one item at a time. Multiple failure situa-
tions may require crews to prioritize checklist usage. Non-normal
checklists can include immediate action items which are explicitly
identified as such, and are strictly limited to only those actions nec-
essary to stabilize the situation.
1. ERJ-170 Emergency Quick Reference Checklist (QRC)
a. The QRC is a flat card that is designed to be carried in its
holder that is located on top of the glare shield directly
underneath the standby magnetic compass (whiskey
compass).
b. When the PF calls for an non-normal checklist that
contains either a memory item or an immediate action
item, the PM will accomplish one of the following tasks:
1) QRC Checklist - Memory items and Immediate Action
Items
a) The PF (and the PM when appropriate) will
accomplish and state the memory items. The PM
will then pull out the QRC from its holder and read
the line(s) underneath the memory items which
are boxed. If there are no Immediate Action Items,
the PM will read “QRC Actions Complete. Go to
QRH Procedure Page XXX-XX.”

REV. 8, 15 SEP 2008 1-11


ERJ-170 Pilot Operating Handbook
Chapter 1 General Policies
Section 3 Non-Normal Checklist Philosophy

Volume 5
b) Example - Smoke Evacuation - The PF and the
PM will place their oxygen masks on, establish
communications (“Captain is up” - “First Officer is
up”) and the PF will state from memory:
•OXYGEN MASKS...Verify... ON, 100%
•CREW COMMUNICATIONS....ESTABLISH
The PM will pullout the QRC from its holder and
read and accomplish the line(s) underneath the
memory items:
•PRESSURIZATION DUMP BUTTON....
.......PUSH IN
•QRC ACTIONS COMPLETE
•GO TO QRH PG SMO-10.
The PM will place the QRC back in its holder and
immediately go to the appropriate page in the
QRH. The PM will accomplish the line(s) under-
neath the heavy black line in the QRH procedure
which denotes the break between the Immediate
Action Items and the remainder of the checklist.
There is no requirement to re-accomplish either
the Memory Items or the Immediate Action Items
if they were successfully accomplished using the
QRC.
2) QRC Checklist - Immediate Action Items Only
a) The PM will pull out the QRC from its holder and
read the Immediate Action Items. After reading
and accomplishing the Immediate Action Items,
the PM will read the line at the bottom of the proce-
dure.
b) Example - Engine Fire, Separation, or Damage -
The PM will read and accomplish the Immediate
Action Items and then state:
•QRC ACTIONS COMPLETE
•GO TO QRH PG EAP7-4.

REV. 8, 15 SEP 2008 1-12


ERJ-170 Pilot Operating Handbook
Chapter 1 General Policies
Section 3 Non-Normal Checklist Philosophy

Volume 5
3) QRC Checklist - Exceptions
a) Emergency Descent - All items are read from the
QRC by the PM and accomplished by the PF.
There are no items that are accomplished using
the QRH.
b) Emergency Evacuation - All items are read from
the QRC by the First Officer and accomplished by
the Captain.
i) When evacuation of the aircraft is required, all
necessary actions are included in the Evacua-
tion Checklist. The items in the QRH on page
NAP-8 should only be accomplished at the
Captain’s discretion and only if imminent danger
to the flight crew is not present.
ii) If the cause for the evacuation is due to fire on
board the aircraft (Engine fire, APU fire, Cargo
fire, or Lavatory fire), the flight crew should fight
the fire first prior to initiating an evacuation. The
evacuation checklist should be accomplished
only if the fire remains out of control and there is
imminent danger to passenger and crew.
c) Smoke Procedures - All smoke procedures call for
oxygen masks on at 100%. Both flight crewmem-
bers should select the EMER position momentarily
using the oxygen supply control knob to clear the
mask when necessary if smoke or fumes are
present in the cockpit. After the EMER position is
selected and the mask is cleared, the knob should
then be returned to the 100% position since 100%
oxygen is used to prevent inhalation of contami-
nated air.
2. Confirm (Memory Items and Immediate Action Items)
a. Confirmation is accomplished by the Pilot Flying (PF) visu-
ally after the Pilot Monitoring (PM) has placed his/her hand
on the affected switch/lever.
b. The PF will state “Confirm” whenever the PM has placed
their hand on the appropriate switch/lever and is clear to
accomplish the required tasking.

REV. 8, 15 SEP 2008 1-13


ERJ-170 Pilot Operating Handbook
Chapter 1 General Policies
Section 3 Non-Normal Checklist Philosophy

Volume 5
c. Whenever a confirm item involves the shutting down of an
engine, the PF must place their hand on the thrust lever of
the good engine and move the thrust lever forward out of
the idle detent. Once the thrust lever is out of the idle
detent, the FADEC will ignore any command by the Start/
Stop switch if the wrong Start/Stop switch is placed to the
Stop position.
D. PF/PM
1. Inflight, self explanatory.
2. On the ground, the captain will perform PF duties and the first
officer PM duties, respectively.

E. Assumptions
Non-normals assume the following:
a. Applicable system controls and switches are in the normal
configuration for flight.
b. All normal checklists are appropriately accomplished,
unless replaced by a corresponding non-normal checklist
(e.g., Engine Out Descent Checklist, Engine Out Landing
Checklist, etc.).
c. Any obvious actions required due to crew awareness items
will be completed. Pilots may accomplish actions not
affected by a non-normal situation (e.g., setting altimeters/
airspeed bugs, briefing an approach, etc.) at any appro-
priate time during the non-normal checklist providing the
immediate action items are completed.
d. Establish and communicate a plan with ATC, Dispatch,
flight attendant, and passengers as necessary when time
permits. ACARS may be utilized to communicate with
Dispatch.
e. The checking of circuit breakers and testing of lights are
always accomplished and only listed as an action step
when the procedure specifically requires it.
f. Non-normal checklists will be read aloud by the PM.
g. The Pilot Flying (PF) is always allowed to fly the airplane
and may accomplish any task that is appropriate to keep
the aircraft in a safe flight regime.

REV. 8, 15 SEP 2008 1-14


ERJ-170 Pilot Operating Handbook
Chapter 1 General Policies
Section 3 Non-Normal Checklist Philosophy

Volume 5
h. Circuit Breakers will not be pulled or reset in flight unless
specifically called for in a Emergency/Abnormal/QRH
procedure. On the ground, Circuit Breakers will only be
reset by maintenance personnel or by the flight crew when
directed to do so by appropriate maintenance personnel.
i. Oxygen masks are donned in accordance with the
following table:

Condition Oxygen Mask


Yes-if cabin altitude is 10,000’
Loss of cabin pressure
or greater
Use of fire extinguisher Yes
First indication of smoke or
Yes
noxious fumes/odors

WARNING: Some fumes (visible or not) can cause either


temporary or permanent loss of vision.
j. If oxygen mask is required, appropriately select the
following:
1) Emergency oxygen to provide positive pressure and
to clear smoke, when necessary.
2) 100% oxygen to prevent inhalation of contaminated
air.
3) Normal oxygen to prolong usage when the situation
permits.
F. Challenge-Response-Response Concept
1. General
a. Non-normal checklists incorporate the challenge-do-verify
or challenge-response-response concept.
b. Only the red memory items require action prior to reading
the challenge and response.
c. There are three types of non-normal checklist items: stan-
dard, confirm, and verify.

REV. 8, 15 SEP 2008 1-15


ERJ-170 Pilot Operating Handbook

2. Standard
a. For standard non-normal checklist items, the PM reads
aloud the checklist challenge and response, selects the
proper control, accomplishes the action, then repeats the
response aloud.
b. Example “Standard”
p

1. SpeedBrake ...................................................... Closed

G. Procedures
When a non-normal situation is evident, methodically accomplish
the following steps:

1. PF - Maintain Aircraft Control


2. Identify the Non-normal
PM Cancel the Warning
3. Accomplish Memory Items
4. Captain Assigns PF
5. Accomplish the Checklist

1. Maintain Aircraft Control


The PF will devote total awareness to the control and
navigation of the airplane and use automation as appropriate
to help reduce the workload.
2. Identify the Non-Normal
The first crewmember recognizing the nonnormal situation will
clearly announce it (e.g., "Engine Fire".) Do not identify which
engine has malfunctioned at this time. If not immediately
obvious which procedure to use, additional analysis may be
necessary. The captain will determine which procedure is
appropriate.
3. Cancel the Warning
The PM will cancel any warning and ensure the PF is aware
of the warning.
4. Accomplish Memory Items and/or Immediate Action
Items
PF accomplishes the Memory Items and/or calls for the
appropriate Checklist so that the PM can accomplish the
Immediate Action Items from the QRC.
5. Captain Assigns PF
a. In-flight, the captain will assign the flying duties after the
Memory Items or the Immediate Action Items are
complete. The Captain should assign the flying duties to
the F/O while non-normal checklists are being completed
unless conditions dictate otherwise.

REV. 8, 15 SEP 2008 1-17


ERJ-170 Pilot Operating Handbook
Chapter 1 General Policies
Section 3 Non-Normal Checklist Philosophy

Volume 5
b. This allows the captain to direct full attention to the accom-
plishment of the non-normal checklist and communications
with external resources.
c. The captain should verbalize if it is desirable for the PF to
temporarily handle ATC communications.
d. Once all non-normal checklists and communications with
external resources are completed and prior to
commencing the approach, the captain will determine
which crewmember will be the PF for approach and
landing.
6. Accomplish the QRH Checklist
a. If using the QRC, the PM will accomplish the QRH Check-
list when:
1) The airplane flightpath and configuration are properly
established,
2) The airplane is not in a critical stage of flight (e.g.,
takeoff, landing).
3) Memory Items and/or Immediate Action Items have
been completed and the PM is directed to the QRH
Checklist by the QRC.
b. If not using the QRC, the PF will call for the appropriate
QRH checklist when:
1) The airplane flightpath and configuration are properly
established,
2) The airplane is not in a critical stage of flight (e.g.,
takeoff, landing).

a. Non-normal checklists may contain some of the
following elements:
1) Title. Similar, if not identical, to the alerting light or
condi tion.
2) Condition or Indication. When additional informa-
tion is required, a brief description of the abnormal
condition is provided.
3) Memory Item(s). Memory items are shown in all
capital letters, black, bold, and inside a black
bordered box.
4) Immediate Action Item(s). Immediate Action Items
are in all capital letters, black, bold, but not inside a
black bordered box.
5) Black Bold Line. This line is provided as a reference
for the PM as the break between any Immediate
Action Items and the remainder of the QRH Checklist.
A black line is not provided when there are no Imme-
diate Action Items in the Checklist. The PM should
begin reading the QRH Checklist at the first item
below the black bold line when transitioning from the
QRC to the QRH.
6) Land at Nearest Suitable Airport. This information
is provided to the pilot immediately after any Memory
Items or Immediate Action Items are accomplished.
Whenever this item is included in a QRH Checklist,
the PF should ensure that an emergency is declared
with Air Traffic Control and turn the aircraft without
delay towards the nearest suitable airport.
7) Logic Tree. The PM should follow the Logic Tree in
order to read and accomplish the appropriate tasks
for the condition of the aircraft.

REV. 8, 15 SEP 2008 1-21

8) Establish and Communicate a Plan. The PM
should coordinate with the PF to establish a plan of
action. This plan of action should be communicated
with Air Traffic Control, Flight Attendant and Passen-
gers, and Dispatch. An easy mnemonic is “Advise,
Advise, Advise,” which will prompt the pilot to
remember to notify all of the appropriate entities.
Anytime the QRH Checklist contains the phrase
“Establish and Communicate a Plan, ” the PF will
ensure that an emergency is declared and the PM will
accomplish all of the communication tasking.
9) END. Indicates the end of the procedure.
4. EICAS Message Index
Located at the back of the QRH, the EICAS Message Index is
listed in alphabetical order and contains all non-normal EICAS
messages as they appear in the flightdeck with the non-
normal checklist page numbers beside them.

Section 4 Automation Procedures
A. Primary Task
1. Pilot Flying (PF)
The primary task of the pilot flying is to fly the aircraft.
2. Pilot Monitoring (PM)
a. The primary task of the pilot monitoring is to monitor and
assist the pilot flying as well as manage systems and
radio communications.
b. The PM is responsible to monitor the actions of the PF and
advise the PF anytime the aircraft deviates from assigned
parameters.
B. Transfer of Controls
1. Assignment of the Pilot Flying (PF)
The Captain always assigns the Pilot Flying (PF), both on the
ground and in the air.
2. Callouts
a. If there is a transfer of aircraft controls while in the air, the
transfer will always be initiated by the Captain.
b. If the Captain becomes the Pilot Flying (PF), the callouts
are:
1) Captain: “I have the Controls”
2) First Officer: “You have the Controls”
c. If the Captain becomes the Pilot Monitoring (PM), the call-
outs are:
1) Captain: “You have the Controls”
2) First Officer: “I have the Controls”
d. If the transfer of the aircraft controls occurs while on the
ground (e.g. at the end of the runway prior to takeoff), the
callouts are the same. The PF is responsible for the
control of the brakes while on the ground.
C. Automation
When used properly, automation enhances safety, improves oper-
ational capabilities and efficiencies, and reduces workload. During
autoflight, crew coordination and communications have an
increased importance.

Section 4 Automation Procedures

Volume 5
G. Recommended Automation Usage
When specific automation procedures are not required, use the
following guidelines to choose an appropriate level of automation.
1. Enroute (Long Range Planning)
The highest level of automation is appropriate. This level
takes advantage of preflight programming. When significant
modification to long-range planning occurs, reverting to a
lower level of automation (at least temporarily) may be
appropriate.
2. Terminal (Short Range Planning)
For short-range planning (i.e., radar vectors, short-range
speed or climb rate control, etc.) mode control or flight
guidance inputs may be most effective. This level of
automation should be used predominantly in the terminal
environment when responding to clearance changes and
restrictions, including in-close approach/runway changes.
3. Immediate Action (Time Critical)
When immediate control of aircraft path is required, hand
flying may be necessary.
H. Manipulation of Landing Gear and Flap Controls
1. In flight, the pilot monitoring (PM) will normally move the
landing gear and flap controls upon the command of the pilot
flying (PF).
2. Prior to moving the landing gear or flap handle, the PM will
check the airspeed to ensure that it is in the normal operating
envelope for the aircraft configuration.
3. After checking the airspeed, the PM will repeat the command,
then select the landing gear or flaps to the commanded
position.
I. Flight Spoiler and Thrust Usage
Thrust should be at flight idle when deploying spoilers. Retract the
flight spoilers before adding thrust.
J. Autothrottle Usage
When hand-flying, Autothrottles may be used at pilot’s discretion.

Chapter 1 General Policies
Section 4 Automation Procedures

Volume 5
K. Changing AFCS/PFD Altitude
1. Aircraft On Autopilot
a. PF sets AFCS altitude via the guidance panel, points to the
PFD Selected Altitude Readout and verbally states the
cyan preselect altitude.
b. PM points to and verbally states the cyan preselect altitude
in the PFD Selected Altitude Readout.
c. Under high workload conditions, the PF may request the
PM to set the required altitude which is accomplished
using the procedure below.
2. Manually Controlled Flight
a. PM sets AFCS altitude via the guidance panel, points to
the PFD Selected Altitude Readout and verbally states the
cyan preselect altitude.
b. PF points to the new AFCS altitude and verbally states the
cyan preselect altitude in the PFD Selected Altitude
Readout.
L. Altitude Callouts
1. Pilot Monitoring (PM)
The Pilot Monitoring will normally be the first crewmember to
call the altitude. Generally speaking, the callout should occur
after the aural warning approximately 1,000 feet above/below
the assigned altitude.
2. Callouts
a. The altitude callouts should always reference the actual
altitude of the aircraft; e.g. 14,000 for 15,000, or FL230 for
FL 240.
b. The callouts “1,000 feet” or “1,000 to go” are not appro-
priate.

ERJ-170 Pilot Operating Handbook
Chapter 1 General Policies
Section 5 Callout Philosophy

Volume 5
M. Flight Crewmembers at Their Stations
Both pilots must be seated in the cockpit whenever the aircraft is
moving during ground operations. Each required flight crewmem-
ber shall remain at their station while the aircraft is in the takeoff
or landing phase. They must also remain at their station while
enroute unless the absence of one crewmember is necessary for
the performance of duties in connection with the operation of the
aircraft or in connection with physiological needs.
If a pilot leaves their station and the aircraft is operating at or
above FL 250, the remaining pilot must don and use supplemental
oxygen until the other pilot returns to their position.
Observe the GOM cockpit security procedures.
Section 5 Callout Philosophy
The PF will call out each item in the order listed in the Actions and
Callouts tables. The PF must be aware of the actions of the PM
and not call for the next action item until the previous action item
is completed.
It is the responsibility of the PF not to overload the PM with too
many tasks in a short period of time.
Section 6 Recommended Use of Autopilot
A. After Takeoff
It is recommended to turn on the autopilot after takeoff only upon
reaching 210 KIAS (or VFS if single engine).
Section 7 VNAV
A. General Operating Procedures
Whenever the VNAV Flight Director mode is active, the PIC will be
responsible to ensure that the aircraft properly complies with all
altitude restrictions.
The Pilot Flying (PF) shall have the Vertical Profile displayed on
their MFD anytime the VNAV Flight Director mode is active

ations.
E. Special Advisories
WARNING: Operating procedures, techniques and other related
information, which may result in personal injury or
loss of life, if not followed.
CAUTION: Operating procedures, techniques and other related
information, which may result in damage or destruction
of equipment, if not followed.
Note: Operating procedures, techniques and other related
information, which are considered essential to
emphasize.

G. Dark and Quiet Flight Deck
1. The flight deck is designed to operate in flight with all systems
normal when the
a. overhead, main, glareshield, and control pedestal panels
have no lights ON,
b. there are no aural warnings, and
c. the selector knobs are at the twelve o’clock position.
2. A white bar illuminates on any button indicating it is not in its
normal position.
3. Shuttle America procedures follow the quiet flight deck
philosophy and include the following basic principles:
a. Limited Callouts
1) The pilots are required to state the callout exactly as
it is listed in the POH (i.e. the callouts are the callouts
- nothing more, nothing less).
2) Extraneous language is not appropriate during a
Callout.
b. CRM
1) The Pilot Monitoring (PM) advises the Pilot Flying
(PF) anytime the aircraft deviates from assigned
parameters.
2) The reverse of that is also true, which means that as
long as the PF is flying within assigned parameters,
the flight deck should be quiet.
c. Limited Briefings
1) Briefings should be, by definition, brief.
2) Briefings should be timely and cover safety of flight
items clearly and succinctly.
3) The briefings listed in the POH should be conducted
with the same principles as the Callouts.
a) The briefings should be conducted using as few
words as possible.
b) The format listed in the POH for each briefing
should be closely followed by all pilots.

Section 8 Definition of Terms

Volume 5
d. Loss of an engine on takeoff (V1 Cut)
1) The quiet flight deck will be maintained anytime the
aircraft is below 1,000 feet AFE. The only exceptions
to this are:
a) The required callout at 400 feet AFE of “HDG” or
“FMS NAV.”
b) Communication with ATC if the engine out proce-
dure is different from the clearance issued by the
Control Tower or Departure.
c) Radio calls below 1,000 feet AFE are not appro-
priate with an engine out.
H. Preferred Profiles
1. General
a. The Captain will utilize the Preferred Profile to the
maximum extent possible consistent with a safe operation.
b. The Captain should elect to use the alternate (allowed)
profile only when there is an obvious operational require-
ment.
c. The Captain has permission to utilize the alternate
(allowed) profile; however, that permission should not be
abused.
2. Specific Profiles
a. Profile for Takeoff
1) Preferred - Flaps 2
2) Allowed - Flaps1, Flaps 4
a) The approved runway performance (AeroData)
must be available to perform a Flaps 1 or Flaps 4
takeoff.
3) Preferred - Rolling Takeoff
a) A rolling takeoff may be used anytime a FLEX
takeoff is performed regardless of flap setting.
4) Allowed - Normal Takeoff

REV. 8, 15 SEP 2008 1-30

Volume 5
b. Profile for Landings
1) Preferred - Flaps 5
2) Allowed - Flaps Full
a) The approved runway performance (APG/Aero-
Data) must be available to perform a Flaps Full
landing.
c. Profile for Single Engine Taxi
1) Preferred - Engine 1 as the running engine.
2) Allowed - Engine 2 as the running engine.
Note: On taxi out, Hydraulic System 1, 2, and 3A Electric
Pumps must be ON until the second engine is started.
On taxi in, Hydraulic System 1, 2, and 3A Electric Pumps
must be ON anytime the taxi in is accomplished using
Engine 2 instead of Engine 1.
d. Profile for Vertical Navigation
1) Preferred - VNAV using V-PTH or V-FLCH
2) Allowed - Manually using VS, FPA, or FLCH
I. Firewall Thrust
1. Firewall thrust is defined as advancing the thrust levers to the
mechanical stops.
2. Overboosting the engines when the situation is not sufficiently
serious, or prior to performing all other recovery actions
available, would shorten engine life and increase the potential
for engine failure proportionate to the time and amount of
overboost, engine condition, and environment.
J. Maximum Thrust
1. Maximum thrust is defined as maximum certified N1.

D. ALTIMETERS MISCOMPARE TOLERANCES
The EMBRAER 170 Air Data System (ADS) relies on a total of four
Air Data SmartProbes (ADSPs) and two Total Air Temperature
probes (TATs) to determine air total pressure, static pressure and
total temperature. Three Air Data Applications (ADAs) compute
this information to provide air data to the PFDs and other aircraft
systems. IESS (Integrated Electronic Standby System) performs
both the functions of computing air information and presenting air
data to flight crew.
There are four ADS, which interact with flight crew. In normal oper-
ation, ADS 1 provides information to captain’s PFD, ADS 2 pro-
vides information to co-pilot’s PFD and ADS 3 is the backup
source for both PFDs whereas ADS 4 is the IESS.
Differences between pilot and co-pilot altitude readings may occur
due to a number of reasons. Altitude, airspeed, aircraft configura-
tion and the ADSP’s locations influence the altitude reading mis-
compare. As long as the miscompare is within a certain tolerance,
it is acceptable.
To verify if altimeter difference is within tolerance, the flight crew
should proceed as follows:
Altitude...........................................................STABILIZE
Maintain variation within +/- 50 ft.
Air Speed........................................................STABILIZE
Maintain variation within +/- 5 kt.

ingested by the engines; or freeze on engines, nacelles, or
engine sensor probes.
C. Engine and Wing Anti-Ice System Operations
1. On the ground (C)
During taxi out and takeoff, the MCDU TO DATASET MENU
must be set to ALL when SAT is 10oC or below and icing
conditions exist or are anticipated.
2. In flight
The engine and wing anti-ice systems operate automatically in
case of ice encounter when the ICE PROTECTION Mode
Selector is in AUTO. If either one or both ice detectors are
failed, the crew must set the mode selector to ON when icing
conditions exist or are anticipated below 10ºC TAT with visible
moisture.
CAUTION: On the ground, do not rely on visual icing evidence or
ice detector actuation to turn on the engine anti-icing
system. Use the temperature and visual moisture
criteria specified in this section.
CAUTION: Delaying the use of the anti-icing system until ice build-
up is visible from the flight deck may result in ice
ingestion and possible engine damage and/or flameout.

Procedures.

The MAUs monitor the PRIMUS EPIC routed information full time
in order to detect any synchronization loss and, if it occurs, the
MAU's attempt to re-synchronize in order to protect the system.
During flight tests, it has been detected that a specific case of PRI-
MUS EPIC synchronization loss, which is not successfully resyn-
chronized within an acceptable period and leads to a
simultaneous failure of the three MAUs.
As a consequence of the failure of all three MAUs, all five Display
Units (DUs) will also fail. In addition, the Flight Control System
(FCS) reverts to direct mode and both the Autopilot and the Auto-
throttle will disengage. After this event, two different scenarios will
arise.
1. CASE 1: MAU's failure and auto restore.
2. CASE 2: MAU's failure and manual restore upon crew

E. Fly By Wire Power Up Built-In Test (PBIT)
1. The FBW PBIT test consists of two different checks:
a. An electrical PBIT test which lasts 3 minutes
b. A hydraulic PBIT test which lasts 1 minute
2. If either test fails, a FLT CTRL BIT EXPIRED EICAS message
is displayed 50 hours (elapsed time) after the last successful
PBIT when the aircraft is on the ground and the EICAS
messages are no longer inhibited. The message will continue
being displayed on the EICAS until a new electrical and
hydraulic PBIT is successfully completed.
3. FLT CTRL BIT EXPIRED
a. If the FLT CTRL BIT EXPIRED EICAS message is
displayed, perform the hydraulic PBIT as follows:
1) Do not move any flight control surface.
2) Turn the electrical hydraulic pumps 1, 2, and 3A to ON
3) Wait 60 seconds
4) At this point, the FLT CTRL BIT EXPIRED EICAS
message should extinguish
5) Turn the electrical hydraulic pumps 1, 2, and 3A to
OFF if no longer needed
Note: If the FLT CTRL BIT EXPIRED EICAS message remains
displayed after accomplishing the hydraulic PBIT, the
flight crew must power down the aircraft utilizing the
Parking & Securing Checklist, wait one minute, and then
perform the power up procedure utilizing the Safety &
Power On Checklist.
4. Electrical PBIT
a. The electrical PBIT provides detection of out-of-tolerance
conditions and failures in the FCMs, P-ACEs, and S-ACEs.
b. The electrical PBIT is automatically performed during
power-up, after the airplane is powered by any AC source.
c. The electrical PBIT test takes approximately 3 minutes to
complete and can be observed by the flight crew on the
Flight Control synoptic page on the MFD.

d. After the 3 minute electrical test is complete, the clock for
the ELEC PBIT on the flight control synoptic page will show
50 hours. The hydraulic PBIT test must also be performed
to complete a valid Fly-By-Wire PBIT test.
e. The electrical PBIT test will be interrupted if:
1) Any electric hydraulic pump is running
2) The Flight Control Mode Panel switches are cycled
3) The AC power supply is interrupted
5. Hydraulic PBIT
a. Activate the hydraulic system using the AC electric pumps
as follows:
1) EICAS STEER OFF ..............................Annunciate
WARNING: Serious injury may result if hydraulics are introduced
without STEER OFF annunciated.
2) HYD SYS 1 ELEC PUMP.................................. ON
3) HYD SYS 2 ELEC PUMP.................................. ON
4) HYD SYS 3 ELEC PUMP A .............................. ON
b. The hydraulic PBIT provides functional test of the flight
control actuators.
c. The hydraulic PBIT is performed when all 3 hydraulic
systems are pressurized for one minute.
d. After the 1 minute hydraulic test is complete, the clock for
the HYD PBIT on the flight control synoptic page will show
50 hours.
e. The hydraulic PBIT will be interrupted if any flight control
surface is moved white the test is running.
F. Air Conditioning
Preferred priority is to utilize ground air whenever available to
reduce APU cycles. When necessary, start the APU to ensure
passenger comfort.
CAUTION: To avoid cabin air contamination, do not operate air
conditioning packs using the ground pneumatic start
cart.
Note: Comfortable outside air temperatures may not require air
conditioning to be applied to the aircraft.

Chapter 4 Normal Procedures
Section 10 RNAV Pre-Flight Procedures

Volume 5
Section 10 RNAV Pre-Flight Procedures
This section provides the basic information concerning RNAV
procedures using the Honeywell EPIC System.
A. Pre-flight Planning
1. Verify the appropriate flight plan suffix code (Q) is designated
on the flight release.
2. Ensure the onboard navigation data base in the FMS is
current.
3. Ensure there is no degradation of the EPIC System prior to
flight; i.e. there are no EICAS or FMS messages that relate to
the normal operation of the FMS and/or the GPS system.
B. General Operating Procedures
1. Crosscheck the cleared flight plan against the Jeppesen
charts or other applicable resources, as well as the navigation
system textual display and the aircraft map display.
2. While operating on RNAV segments including RNAV SIDs
and STARS, both pilots must be in LNAV mode on their
displays (i.e. magenta needles on their PFD).
3. When loading the route of flight into the FMS and using an
RNAV SID or STAR:
a. The SID or STAR must be retrievable by procedure name
from the FMS navigation data base
Note: Manual entry of any published procedure waypoints into
the aircraft system is not permitted and pilots must not
change any RNAV SID or STAR waypoint type from a
fly-by to a fly-over or vice versa.
b. Both pilots must verify that the correct departure airport,
active runway, RNAV SID, and initial waypoint are properly
entered into the FMS data base for the active flight plan,
that any discontinuities are resolved (deleted) with respect
to the departure procedure, and the route of flight is veri-
fied either on the Map page or on the Plan page of the
MFD.
c. The information regarding the RNAV SID should be
included as part of the Departure Review briefing when
covering "Clearance and SID."

REV. 5, 01 MAY 2008 4-46


ERJ-170 Pilot Operating Handbook
Chapter 4 Normal Procedures
Section 10 RNAV Pre-Flight Procedures

Volume 5
d. When utilizing an RNAV SID (Type B SID)
1) The correct departure runway must be programmed
into the FMS prior to taking the active runway.
2) An RNP of 1.0 must be displayed on both PFDs.
3) The correct call by the PF at 400 feet AFE is “FMS
NAV” and the flight crew must follow the flight guid-
ance.
Note: If on vectors to join the RNAV SID, utilize HDG Mode
until cleared by ATC to proceed on the published
RNAV procedure.
4) Any changes to the departure clearance by ATC must
be loaded in the FMS by the PM on the command of
the PF.
e. The most important element of the cockpit setup for an
RNAV SID is for both pilots to verify that the magenta CDI
is centered on their HSI after taking the active runway. If
the magenta CDI is not centered for any reason after the
aircraft takes the active runway, the Captain must taxi clear
of the runway and not takeoff.

C. Contingency Procedures
1. While on the ground and prior to takeoff, request an amended
clearance from ATC if you are unable to comply with an RNAV
SID.
2. During flight, the pilot must notify ATC of any loss of the RNAV
capability, together with the proposed course of action. If
unable to comply with the requirements of an RNAV
procedure (e.g. an RNAV SID or STAR) the pilots must advise
Air Traffic Control as soon as possible.

Chapter 4 Normal Procedures
Section 17 Taxi Procedures

Volume 5
Section 17 Taxi Procedures
A. Thrust Management
1. Use only the thrust necessary to start the aircraft rolling.
2. Thrust use during ground operations demands sound
judgement and techniques.
3. The air blast effects at relatively low thrust can be destructive
and cause injury.
4. Be aware of aircraft behind and likewise avoid following other
aircraft too closely.
5. Consider tow out if the thrust required could cause injury/
damage.
CAUTION: Jet blast is a major cause of foreign object damage
(FOD).
B. Speed
1. The tendency is to taxi faster than desired, especially during
runway turnoff after landing.
2. The appropriate taxi speed will depend on the turn radius and
surface condition.
3. Nosewheel scrubbing indicates excessive steering angle and/
or excessive taxi speed for surface condition.
4. The normal straight ahead taxi speed should not exceed thirty
(30) knots.
5. When approaching a turn, adjust speed for the surface
conditions.
C. Aircraft Movement
1. Initial - To begin taxiing, release the brakes and smoothly
increase thrust to the minimum required for the aircraft to
move forward.

Note: Allow time for aircraft response to each thrust change.


2. Sustaining - Once taxi has commenced, idle thrust is more
than adequate for most conditions.

REV. 5, 01 MAY 2008 4-66


ERJ-170 Pilot Operating Handbook
Chapter 4 Normal Procedures
Section 17 Taxi Procedures

Volume 5
3. Do not start a turn until sufficient forward speed has been
attained to allow the aircraft to turn at idle thrust.
Note: The nosewheel should not be turned when the aircraft is
static.
D. Nosewheel/Rudder Pedal Steering
1. During a turn, maintain positive pressure on the nose steering
tiller to prevent the nose gear from returning to center
abruptly.
2. Straight ahead steering and large radius turns should be
accomplished with rudder pedal steering only.
3. Avoid stopping the aircraft in a turn, as excessive thrust will be
required to start taxiing again.
4. After completing a turn, and prior to stopping, center the
nosewheel and allow the aircraft to roll straight ahead for short
distance.
E. Brakes
1. Avoid riding the brakes to control taxi speed.
2. If taxi speed is too high, reduce the speed with a steady brake
application and then release the brakes to permit brake
cooling.
3. Continuous braking should be avoided. Allow for decreased
braking effectiveness on slick surfaces.
F. Primary Task
1. The Captain will taxi the aircraft.
2. The flight crew’s primary task is to safely taxi the aircraft and
should not be diverted from this task.
CAUTION: Do not taxi so close behind other aircraft as to ingest
foreign objects.
G. Single Engine Taxi
1. Single engine taxi procedures are permitted.
2. Normally taxi with the #1 engine running.

REV. 5, 01 MAY 2008 4-67


ERJ-170 Pilot Operating Handbook
Chapter 4 Normal Procedures
Section 17 Taxi Procedures

Volume 5
H. General Guidelines for Single Engine Taxi
Use the following general guidelines and specific procedures:
1. Consider crew experience, workload requirements, and
passenger comfort.
2. Consider single engine taxi if anticipated delay time will
exceed 15 (fifteen) minutes.
3. Consider gross weight, temperature, ramp congestion and
taxiway surface conditions before deciding to single engine
taxi away from the gate.
CAUTION: High thrust settings required for breakaway can
damage equipment in close proximity to the aircraft.
4. If possible, begin single engine taxi with a slight turn toward
the non-operating engine. There will be less resistance,
resulting in a lower thrust setting.
5. Sharp turns toward the operating engine will be difficult.
6. Constant pressure on the tiller will be required due to
asymmetric thrust. Do not use rudder trim to counteract this
turning tendency.
7. Keep the APU running for taxi-out; an APU start is more
efficient than a crossbleed start.
8. If lengthy ground delays after gate departure are encountered
with both engines operating, consider shutting down an
engine.
I. Specific Procedures for Single Engine Taxi
1. Single engine taxi is not authorized:
a. on ramps and taxiways when braking action is less than
“Good”.
b. with reported RVR less than 1,200 feet
c. at stations that use power-out taxi
2. Fuel balancing limitations must be observed.
3. Single Engine Taxi after landing:
a. Wait a minimum of 2 minutes after landing prior to
shutting down the Number 2 engine.
b. Wait a minimum of 1 additional minute after engine
shutdown prior to starting the APU.

REV. 5, 01 MAY 2008 4-68


ERJ-170 Pilot Operating Handbook
Chapter 4 Normal Procedures
Section 17 Taxi Procedures

Volume 5
c. For fuel utilization purposes, delay the start of the
APU during Single Engine Taxi until approaching
the gate area.
d. If the Captain elects to start the APU prior to shut-
ting down an engine during the taxi-in, do not shut
down any engine until the APU has stabilized at
95% (or greater) for a minimum of 3 seconds.
J. Delayed Engine Start
1. Start the remaining engine using the normal start procedure.
If APU is unavailable, perform a crossbleed start (see
Supplemental Normals).
2. Allow enough time to complete the Before Takeoff Checklist.

A. Procedures
1. Flight Crews should use a FLEX takeoff to the maximum
extent possible. Anytime a FLEX takeoff is used, the
preferred technique is to use the Rolling Takeoff Procedure.
2. If a FLEX takeoff is not going to be used, the recommended
technique is to use the Normal Takeoff Procedure.
3. A max performance takeoff (static) must be performed if a
FLEX takeoff cannot be used and the following parameters
are met:
a. The actual aircraft weight is equal to or slightly less than
the maximum takeoff weight per the approved runway
performance (APG/AeroData) (i.e., unable to meet the
minimum temperature for a Flex Takeoff), and
b. The limiting takeoff weight is Field Length Limited (FL) and
the aircraft is neither structurally limited nor climb limited,
and
c. The Autothrottles are inop.
Note: If all 3 parameters listed above are not met, a max
performance (static) is not appropriate. The Normal
Takeoff Procedure should be utilized in lieu of a static
takeoff.

A. Setting Takeoff Thrust
1. Once the aircraft is aligned with the runway centerline,
advance the thrust levers to approximately 40% N1 and verify
the engines are spooled.
2. After the engines are stabilized, the PF releases the brakes,
advances the thrust levers to approximately 60 degrees TLA
(thrust lever angle), verifies Autothrottle engagement (TO &
AT annunciates green) and calls “TOGA”.
3. The PM will confirm the thrust levers advance, ATTCS is
enabled (displayed in green), TO-1 or FLEX TO-1 (if used) is
annunciated on the EICAS.
4. The PM then calls “TOGA Set”.
Note: The exact amount of the setting is not as important as
setting symmetrical thrust.
B. Initial Steering
Keep the airplane on the runway centerline with nosewheel steer-
ing until rudder effectiveness. The rudder becomes effective
between 40 and 60 KIAS.
C. Aft Center-of-Gravity Effects
At aft CG and light weights nose wheel steering effectiveness may
be reduced. Hold the control wheel slightly forward to improve
nose wheel steering.

Section 22 Other Takeoff Types
A. Rolling
The rolling takeoff is the same as the normal takeoff except that
brakes are not applied.
Note: The Rolling Takeoff profile should be used to the
maximum extent possible. Anytime a FLEX takeoff is
performed, a Rolling Takeoff profile should be utilized.
B. Maximum Performance
The maximum performance takeoff is the same as the normal
takeoff except the brakes are held until after takeoff thrust N1 is
achieved.
Note: A maximum performance takeoff should only be used
when the actual aircraft weight is equal to or slightly less
than the maximum allowable takeoff weight and the
Autothrottles are inoperative.
C. Crosswind
1. The aircraft demonstrates good crosswind control capability
during the takeoff roll.
2. Directional deviations should be corrected immediately with
smooth and positive control inputs.
3. The aileron becomes effective as the aircraft accelerates
through approximately 80 KIAS. Use aileron as needed to
maintain wings level and rudder to maintain center line.
D. Flaps 1, 2, and 4 Takeoff
1. The procedures are the same for a Flaps 1, Flaps 2, or Flaps
4 takeoff
2. The approved runway performance (APG/AeroData) for the
specific flap setting must be available for a Flaps 1, Flaps 2,
or Flaps 4 takeoff.
3. Acceleration altitude is the same for a Flaps 1, Flaps 2, or
Flaps 4 takeoff.
4. Callouts are the same for a Flaps 1, Flaps 2, or Flaps 4
takeoff.
5. When using a Flaps 4 takeoff, the first retraction callout is
Flaps 3 (then Flaps 2, Flaps 1, Flaps Up) when at or above the
F Bug.
6. When setting the airspeed knob, the pilot will set VFS or the
flap limit speed, whichever is less. When bringing up the flaps
after acceleration altitude, the PM will set the requested speed
(e.g. 210) at the first available opportunity when the requested
speed is higher than the flap limit speed.

A. At V1
At V1, no earlier than V1 - 5 knots, the PM calls out “V1” and the
Captain removes his/her hand from the thrust levers.
B. Rotation and Liftoff
1. At VR, rotate smoothly toward the target pitch attitude in one
continuous motion.
2. Use a rotation rate of approximately 2° to 3° per second.
3. High weights and temperatures or engine failure will require a
lower rotation rate.
4. Correct rotation technique is important to ensure adequate
performance is obtained.
5. Lift-off will occur prior to reaching initial climb target attitude.
6. After lift-off, and once a positive rate of climb has been
established, select landing gear up.
Note: At lighter weights, the flight director can command pitch
attitudes in excess of 20 degrees nose up. In those
cases, the PF may use 15 degrees nose up as an initial
pitch reference for passenger comfort. At 15 degrees
nose up, the aircraft will climb in excess of 2,000 feet per
minute and will exceed all TERPS criteria for a Standard
Instrument Departure (SID).
C. Initial Climb
1. With all engines operating, adjust the pitch attitude to maintain
V2 + 10 to 15 knots to the acceleration altitude.
2. Flight Director following liftoff continue the rotation rate as
follows: with the flight director...
a. Operative fly the flight director pitch commands.
b. Inoperative fly a maximum deck angle limited to 12°.

Volume 5
Section 26 Climb Speed and Angle
A. Climb Speed Determination
1. Maintain flaps-up maneuvering speed until clear of obstacles
or above minimum crossing altitudes.
2. If there are no altitude or airspeed restrictions, accelerate to
the desired climb speed schedule.
3. If considerable maneuvering is required during the departure,
the flaps-up maneuvering speed is recommended until the
maneuvering phase is complete and the aircraft is en route
toward the destination.
B. VNAV
1. If the flight crew is using VNAV procedures, they should
ensure that the FGCS Vertical Mode on the FMA is in
magenta.
2. The PF will monitor the active flight plan in the MCDU to
ensure that all altitudes listed on the right hand column of the
flight plan page can be met using a normal climb profile.
3. If at any time the flight crew is not able to ensure the VNAV
functions are performing as desired, the PF must intervene if
necessary and de-select the VNAV button on the Guidance
Panel.
4. If the flight crew is using VNAV procedures, the preferred
selection for executing a climb is V-FLCH (FLCH in magenta).
Note: If the crew elects to utilize either Vertical Speed or Flight
Path Angle to execute a portion of the climb, the VNAV
button must be re-selected after reaching the desired
altitude and the PF should ensure that the FGCS Vertical
Mode on the FMA is in V-ALT (ALT in magenta).

Volume 5
C. Climb Speed Schedule
1. The following climb speed schedule presents four (4) climb
speeds above 10,000 ft. The speed selected would be
determined by the operational requirements.

Up to 10,000 feet MSL 250 KIAS


Long Range 250 KIAS/M 0.70
Normal 290 KIAS/M 0.74
10,000 feet And above
Alternate 290 KIAS/M 0.70
High Speed 320 KIAS/M 0.77

D. Climb Thrust
Set climb thrust by selecting FLCH on the Guidance Panel. The
FADEC will maintain the correct thrust setting automatically
throughout the flight.
E. Maximum Angle Climb
1. Maximum angle climb speed is normally used for obstacle
clearance or to reach a specified altitude/flight level in a
minimum distance.
2. Maximum angle climb speed varies with gross weight and can
be referenced by using the pitch limiter indicator (PLI) as a
reference.
F. Fuel Utilization Program
1. CLB-1 is associated with TO-1. CLB-2 is associated with TO-
2 and/or TO-1 with a FLEX takeoff. The selection of either
CLB-1 or CLB-2 is at the discretion of the PF. There is not a
preferred climb power with respect to fuel utilization.
2. Pilots should consider delaying the acceleration from 210
KIAS to 250 KIAS until on course (traffic permitting).

Section 30 Cruise
A. VNAV
1. If the flight crew is using VNAV procedures, they should
ensure that the FGCS Vertical Mode on the FMA is in V-ALT
(ALT in magenta).
2. The PF will monitor the active flight plan in the MCDU to
ensure that all altitudes listed on the right hand column of the
flight plan page can be met.
3. If at any time the flight crew is not able to ensure the VNAV
functions are performing as desired, the PF must intervene if
necessary and de-select the VNAV button on the Guidance
Panel.
4. The PF will ensure that the actual final cruising altitude of the
aircraft is properly entered into the Perf Init on Page 3.
5. If the flight crew is using VNAV procedures, the preferred
selection for executing a climb is V-FLCH and the preferred
selection for executing a descent is V-PTH
6. If the crew elects to utilize either Vertical Speed or Flight Path
Angle to execute a cruise-climb or a cruise-descent, the
VNAV button must be re-selected after reaching the desired
altitude and the PF should ensure that the FGCS Vertical
Mode on the FMA is in V-ALT (ALT in magenta).
B. Fuel Calculations
1. Anytime the flight plan shows a planned flight time in excess
of 2 hours, the PIC is responsible for ensuring that the score
is kept on the flight release in terms of flight time and fuel burn.
2. The score will be initialized at or abeam the first fix after the
Top of Climb.
3. The score will be updated approximately once each hour at an
appropriate fix after the flight plan score is initialized at the first
fix after the Top of Climb.
4. Any significant differences between planned and actual flight
time and/or planned and actual fuel burn will be
communicated to Dispatch via the ACARS system. If
required, the PIC will establish and communicate a plan to
ensure the safe conclusion of the flight.

A. Schedule
The following descent speed schedule presents three (3) descent
speeds above 10,000 feet. The speed selected would be deter-
mined by operational requirements.

Descent Speed Schedule

10,000 feet and above Normal M 0.78 to 290 KIAS
High Speed M 0.78 to 320 KIAS/
Below 10,000 feet MSL 250 KIAS

B. VNAV
1. If the flight crew is using VNAV procedures, they should
ensure that the FGCS Vertical Mode on the FMA is in either
V-PTH (PTH in magenta) or V-FLCH (FLCH in magenta) for
all VNAV descents.
2. The PF will monitor the active flight plan in the MCDU to
ensure that all altitudes listed on the right hand column of the
flight plan page can be met.
3. If at any time the flight crew is not able to ensure the VNAV
functions are performing as desired, the PF must intervene if
necessary and de-select the VNAV button on the Guidance
Panel.
4. The PF will ensure that the target altitude for a particular
waypoint in the MCDU matches the target altitude shown on
the Vertical Profile on the MFD and that the green line shown
on the Vertical Profile passes through the target altitude at or
before the listed waypoint.
5. For descents during an RNAV arrival, the flight crew will input
the lowest altitude that the aircraft is cleared to in the AFCS
via the guidance panel. Both pilots must verbally re-confirm
all intermediate altitudes by cross-checking the altitudes listed
in the Jeppesen Chart with the altitudes listed in the right hand
column of the Active Flight Plan in the MCDU. The PF is
responsible to ensure that all altitude crossing restrictions are
met when the VNAV button is engaged.

REV. 4, 15 FEB 2008 4-103


ERJ-170 Pilot Operating Handbook
Chapter 4 Normal Procedures
Section 31 Descent

Volume 5
6. The VNAV button must be selected prior to the start of any
RNAV / GPS approach when using LNAV / VNAV minimums.
The VNAV button must be de-selected prior to the start of any
localizer based or VOR based instrument approach, or when
using LNAV minimums for an RNAV / GPS approach.
7. The Preferred Descent Angle in the Perf Init (Page 1) is a 3.0
degree descent as it will provide the closest angle for an idle
power at lower and intermediate altitudes (below FL 240). At
higher altitudes (above FL 240), a 3.5 or a 4.0 degree descent
may be used.
8. If the flight crew is using VNAV procedures, the preferred
selection for executing a descent is V-PTH (PTH in magenta).
Note: If the crew elects to utilize either Vertical Speed or Flight
Path Angle to execute a descent, the VNAV button must
be re-selected after reaching the desired altitude and the
PF should ensure that the FGCS Vertical Mode on the
FMA is in V-ALT (ALT in magenta).
C. Rate
When a flight reports leaving an altitude, the PF maintains a
descent rate consistent with ATC requirements and fuel conserva-
tion procedures.
D. Descent Ratio
1. The distance required for the descent is approximately
three (3) miles per 1,000 feet (3 to 1).
2. As a guide, in level flight without speed brakes, it takes
approximately ten (10) seconds and one (1) mile to decelerate
each ten (10) knots of airspeed.
E. Factors
From a typical cruise altitude, the top-of-descent (TOD) point
should be advanced two (2) miles for each ten (10) knots of tail-
wind during the descent, and by two (2) miles for each 1,000 feet
of anti-ice use.

REV. 4, 15 FEB 2008 4-104


ERJ-170 Pilot Operating Handbook
Chapter 4 Normal Procedures
Section 31 Descent

Volume 5
F. Configuration
1. Normally, descent is initiated with partial cruise thrust, at high
altitude, in a clean configuration (no speed brakes).
2. If necessary, use speed brakes or airspeed to correct the
descent profile.
3. For small adjustments, allow the airspeed to vary initially,
using the speed brakes at a lower altitude if further speed
adjustments are required.
G. Flight Spoiler and Thrust Usage
1. Thrust should be at flight idle when deploying spoilers.
Retract the flight spoilers before adding thrust.
H. Planning
1. Good descent planning is necessary to arrive at the desired
altitude and correct speed & configuration.
2. Plan all descents to arrive at traffic pattern altitude at flaps-up
maneuvering speed about
a. twelve (12) miles out for a straight-in approach or
b. eight (8) miles out for an abeam approach.
3. A good crosscheck is to be at 10,000 feet AFE, thirty (30)
miles from the airport at 250 KIAS.

a. For a non-normal situation, when the procedure dictates a
modified VREF (e.g., VREF FULL + 15 KIAS, VREF FULL +
30 KIAS, etc.) for
1) An approach flown with STALL PROT ICE SPEED
annunciated, the 10 KIAS adjustment must be made
to the modified VREF.
2) Example: Aircraft weighs 63,000 lbs., winds calm,

procedure directs a Flaps 5 landing using a modified
VREF FULL + 20 KIAS.
a) Setting VREF in the MCDU
i) From the Speed & Performance Flip Card for
Flaps FULL VREF = 115
ii) Per the non-normal procedure VREF = 115 + 20
= 135
Note: In case of multiple non-normals dictating modified
VREFs, use the non-normal with the highest VREF.
iii) For the STALL PROT ICE SPEED annunciated
VREF = 135 + 10 = 145
b) Setting VAPP in the MCDU
i) VAPP = VREF + wind additive VAPP = 145 + 5
(minimum wind additive) = 150
c) Setting VAC in the MCDU

Note: If VAC < VREF, then set VAC = VREF.


i) From the Speed & Performance Flip Card for
Flaps 5 VAC = 146. Since 146 > 145 (VREF
above), set 146
d) Setting VFS in the MCDU
i) From the Speed & Performance Flip Card for
Flaps 5 VFS = 176

Volume 5
Section 34 Holding
1. Speed
The FMS will reduce aircraft speed three minutes prior to
holding entry. It may be advantageous to request a clearance
to reduce to holding speed immediately. This will reduce the
required holding time and fuel burn at the holding fix.
2. Entries
The FMS offers three (3) types of entries into holding patterns:
1) Direct
2) Teardrop
a) If the leg toward the holding fix is on a “limit”
between a teardrop entry and a parallel entry, the
FMS may compute and display either of the two
entries. Do not assume the FMS is malfunctioning.
3) Parallel
a) If the flight plan leg toward the holding fix is on a
course that is the reciprocal of the inbound course
of the holding pattern, the aircraft will fly a parallel
entry.

Section 35 Stabilized Approach

Volume 5
Section 35 Stabilized Approach
A. Definition and Parameters for Stabilized Approaches
A Stabilized Approach is one of the key features of safe
approaches and landings. It means the aircraft must be in an
approved landing configuration (including a circling configuration,
if appropriate), must maintain the proper approach speed, and
must be established on the proper flight path before descending
below the minimum "stabilized approach height" specified for the
type of operation being conducted. These conditions must be
maintained throughout the remainder of the approach. A stabilized
approach is characterized by a constant-angle, constant-rate of
descent approach profile ending near the touchdown point, where
the landing maneuver begins.
B. Minimum Stabilized Approach Heights
1. 500 feet above the airport elevation during VFR or visual
approaches and during straight in instrument approaches in
VFR weather conditions.
2. MDA or 500 feet above airport elevation whichever is lower, if
a circling maneuver is to be conducted after completing an
instrument approach.
3. 1000 feet above the airport or TDZ elevation during any
straight-in instrument approach in instrument flight conditions.
4. In any type of abnormal or emergency situation, the approach
must be stabilized no later than 1000 feet above the airport or
TDZ elevation under VFR conditions.
CAUTION: If the above conditions are not met, a missed approach
or go-around must be executed.

Section 36 Visual Approach

Volume 5
Section 36 Visual Approach
A. Normal Visual Approach Procedures
1. Use the most precise navigation and visual aids available (i.e.,
select and monitor an ILS to the landing runway).
2. To assist in situational awareness, enter the best available
approach to the landing runway into the FMS. If an approach
is not available, enter the landing runway, then create an
intercept leg to the runway with the runway heading as
course.
3. Autopilot and flight director use is at pilot discretion.
4. The airspeeds listed in the callouts for the flap settings are
recommended speeds only. The pilot is allowed to call for any
speed that is less than the maximum speed for the flap setting
and greater than the “Green Dot Speed”.
B. Initial Approach
1. Fly at an altitude of 1,500 feet AFE and enter downwind with
Flaps 1 at approximately 200 knots. The callout is “Flaps 1,
Set Speed 200.”
Note: If the Pilot Flying elects to set the airspeed instead of
requesting the airspeed, no airspeed callout is required.
The PM will monitor the airspeed setting and advise the
PF anytime the aircraft deviates from assigned
parameters.
2. Select Flaps 2 abeam the runway numbers at approximately
180 knots. The callout is “Flaps 2, Set Speed 180.”
C. Base Leg
1. When turning onto base leg, select Flaps 3, slow to 160 knots.
The callout is “Flaps 3, Set Speed 160”. Then extend the
landing gear. The callout is “Gear Down, Landing Checklist”.
If the approach pattern must be extended, delay extending
gear and selecting Flaps 3 until approaching the normal visual
approach profile.
2. Extend landing flaps 5, when turning final. The callout is
“Flaps 5, Set Speed VAPP.”

Note: If landing Flaps Full, the callout for Flaps 5 is “Flaps 5,


Set Speed 140.” The next callout is “Flaps Full, Set
Speed VAPP.”

REV. 4, 15 FEB 2008 4-124


ERJ-170 Pilot Operating Handbook
Chapter 4 Normal Procedures
Section 36 Visual Approach

Volume 5
D. On Final
1. Roll-out on runway center line and maintain the appropriate
approach speed and select Flaps FULL.
2. Make thrust changes as required to hold approach speed and
desired rate of descent.
3. Re-trim the stabilizer to maintain zero elevator forces on final.
4. Stabilize the airplane on the selected approach airspeed with
a constant rate of descent between 600 FPM and 800 FPM on
the desired glide-path, in-trim.
E. Landing Approach Path
1. The recommended landing approach path is approximately
2½° to 3°.
2. Once the final approach is established, the aircraft
configuration remains fixed and only small adjustments need
to be made to the glide-path, approach speed, and trim.
3. This results in the same approach profile under all conditions
regardless of weather.

H. Position Orientation & Energy Management


1. The Pilot Flying is always allowed to utilize Energy
Management techniques when flying into the terminal area,
including:
a. Extending the Landing Gear prior to the extension of any
flaps when the aircraft is slightly above the normal descent
profile.
b. Using both Landing Gear and Speed Brakes when the
aircraft is well above a normal descent profile
c. Extending the Landing Gear after Flaps 1, 2, or 3 settings
are requested
Note: Flaps 4 is a Takeoff Only mode and is not to be utilized
under any circumstances while flying an approach.
2. Position orientation and energy management are critical to a
stabilized visual approach.
3. Align with runway approximately 5 miles on final at 1,500 feet
AFE or 3 miles on final at 1,000 feet AFE, as shown below.
4. Use speedbrakes for minor speed and altitude adjustments,
and flight spoilers/gear for larger adjustments.
5. Maintain stabilized approach rate of descent and flight
parameters; if unable to maintain a stabilized approach, go
around.

I. Three to One Descent Profile
1. This profile is based on an approximate 300ft (AFE) per NM
reference, (3:1 Ratio). For example, 5NM, from touchdown
would equate to 1500ft AFE.
2. The objective is to constantly monitor the profile and take
actions to maintain a stabilized approach.
J. Energy Management Factors
1. There are numerous factors such as aircraft weight, weather
conditions, and a pilot’s “comfort zone” that will dictate energy
management techniques for each approach.
2. Energy Management Factors for a Visual Approach
a. On a visual approach when other traffic is not a factor, plan
to arrive over the FAF on glide slope at Flaps 1 and 200
KIAS.
b. After that point (or its equivalent on a short base to final),
use energy management techniques so that the thrust
levers remain in the idle position until just prior to 500 feet
AFE.
1) Time the use of various flap settings, and the exten-
sion of the landing gear so that the aircraft arrives at
a point 500 feet AFE with:
a) Gear down,
b) Flaps at the final landing configuration
c) Airspeed at the final approach speed
d) Engines spooled (thrust levers moving forward)
3. Regardless of the techniques employed, the decision to go
around is not an indication of poor performance, but rather
good judgement.
K. Flap Settings
1. Preferred landing flap setting is 5.

Section 37 Instrument Procedures
A. General
1. The instrument approach begins when the aircraft is over the
initial approach fix for the procedure being used and ends
when the aircraft either contacts the runway or completes the
transition to a missed approach.
2. The recommended speeds and callouts for flap extension
listed in the Visual Approach section applies to all instrument
approaches.
3. Tune, Identify, and Monitor
a. Navaids must be tuned and identified prior to beginning an
instrument approach.
b. Crosscheck of navigation guidance must occur by both
pilots continually during approaches.
c. If instrument and/or navigation discrepancies become
evident, abandon the approach, climb to the missed
approach altitude but delay required turns until arriving at
the published missed approach point (MAP).
d. Establish and communicate a plan.
4. Actions and Callouts
a. Actions and callouts have been created to specify “trigger”
events and define the callouts and actions required by
each pilot during approaches.
b. They are constructed for training purposes to depict the
ideal situation.
c. However, ATC vectoring, the pilots own navigation, or a
particular set of circumstances may preclude doing things
exactly as specified. Alterations to the ideal must be
accomplished when it makes sense to do so.

B. Planning
Each type of approach and each approach to a particular runway,
requires study and coordination, so that all questions are
answered before commencing an approach:
1. to determine how it fits against the profile,
2. where should gear and flaps be extended,
3. when should airspeed be established,
4. when should timing begin,
5. how to establish a VDP where required, and
6. how to identify the MAP (missed approach point)
C. Aircraft Approach Category
Use Category C minimums.
D. Contact Approaches
Not authorized.
E. Determining Decision Altitude/Height
1. CAT I decision altitude is based on the barometric altimeter.
2. A published RA less than 100 feet may be set when
associated with a DH greater than or equal to 100 feet (e.g.,
setting a published RA of 91 feet to achieve a DH of 100 feet,
etc.) is acceptable.
F. Side-Step Maneuver
1. Side-step maneuver is authorized using published side-step
minima.
2. Definition: A side-step maneuver is a visual maneuver
accomplished by the pilot at the completion of an instrument
approach to permit a straight-in landing on a parallel runway
not more than 1,200 feet to either side of the runway to which
the instrument approach was conducted.
3. Landing Minimums: Landing minimums to the adjacent
runway will be higher than the minimums to the primary
runway, but will normally be lower than the published circling
minimums.
4. If a full procedure turn is required, select flaps 2 prior to the
IAF outbound.

REV. 4, 15 FEB 2008 4-131


ERJ-170 Pilot Operating Handbook
Chapter 4 Normal Procedures

Volume 5
5. Fly the appropriate maneuver speed. Approximately 30
seconds after station/ fix passage, commence procedure turn.
6. A normal procedure turn outbound leg is 45 seconds to 1
minute.
7. Some procedure turns are specified by a Procedural Track, as
identified by a bold track in the Jeppesen Manual. These turns
must be flown as depicted.
G. ILS (CAT I)
1. ILS precision approach procedures are flown using the APP
mode of the AFCS system.
2. Decision Altitude (DA) - The DA is the point at which the pilot
commences the vertical portion of the missed approach. In
some instances, the lateral portion of the missed approach
may require the aircraft to proceed to the missed approach fix
before commencing a turn.
3. The appropriate ILS procedure must be programmed into the
EPIC System via the NAV INDEX / ARRIVAL page prior to
commencing any ILS approach.
4. Use the LNAV capabilities of the aircraft to the maximum
extent possible when turning onto the localizer course.
a. By using Preview Mode, the Pilot Flying can fly with
magenta needles and still verify that the aircraft is within
the proper RNP for the ILS approach (i.e. the blue dashed
line that represents the localizer is remaining within a one
dot deflection on the HSI).
b. Once the aircraft is flying inbound on the localizer course,
and the navigation radios are properly tuned and identified
(using either autotune or manually tuning the frequency
using the 4 letter identifier on the Progress Page), the Pilot
Flying can arm the approach and fly the remainder of the
ILS approach normally using green needles.
H. LDA (Precision)
1. LDA approaches with minimums depicted as a DA(H) are
precision approaches. Set up and fly these LDA approaches
with the APP mode selected.

I. Automation
1. The Autopilot (A/P) is routinely used during Precision
Approach Operations.
Note: If the autopilot has been placed on the MEL list, the flight
director must be operative.
2. The PF selects the respective autopilot, in preparation of the
approach.
3. The autopilot may be disengaged or turned off after final flap
selection or 200 feet AGL, and a target speed (VREF +
additive) is established.
4. The ILS is considered tuned and identified anytime the pilots
hear the proper morse code identifier or the correct 4 letter
identifier is shown either on the PFD or on the Progress Page
of the FMS and no primary instrument flags are displayed.
a. Aircraft with EPIC Load 17.5 should utilize the following
procedure when tuning and identifying a frequency for
an ILS Approach
1) Ensure neither pilot is in Preview Mode
2) Set the ILS identifier on the FMS PROGRESS
Page 1/3, lines 5L and/or 5R.
3) After the proper frequency is shown on the
Progress Page in normal video (not in green
inverse video), each pilot may select the Preview
Mode when appropriate and all functionality will be
normal.
4) If a frequency change is desired while in Preview
Mode
a) De-select Preview Mode
b) Set the new ILS identifier on FMS PROGRESS
Page 1/3, lines 5L and/or 5R
c) Re-select Preview Mode.
Note: In addition to the above procedure, the Autotune
Mode may also be used to tune the desired
frequency as well as the use of Radio Page 1/2 on
aircraft with EPIC Load 17.5. If these options are
used, both pilots must confirm that the proper ILS
frequency is tuned and identified prior to
commencing the approach.
b. Aircraft with EPIC Load 19.3 should utilize the following
procedure when tuning and identifying a frequency for an
ILS Approach

1) Use autotune whenever possible and when the Pilot
Flying (PF) believes the aircraft will intercept the final
approach course within 25 nm of the airport. Use
manual tuning whenever the PF believes the aircraft
will intercept the final approach course more than 25
nm from the airport.
2) Whenever autotune is used, the Pilot Monitoring (PM)
must re-confirm the NAV radios are properly tuned
and identified when the aircraft is within 25 nm of the
airport.
Note: If autotune does not work when within 25 nm of the
airport, the PM upon command of the PF should
delete any discontinuities in the active flight plan.

Chapter 4 Normal Procedures
Section 39 Non-Precision Procedures

Volume 5
Section 39 Non-Precision Procedures
A. General
1. When the weather is below 1000/3, the autopilot shall be
utilized from at least the FAF until leveling at the MDA
selected on the GP, or until a “Landing” call is made during
non-precision approaches.
Note: If the autopilot is required by this section but has been
placed in the MEL list, the flight director must be
operative.
2. When the weather is above these minimums, the use of the
autopilot is at the pilots discretion.
3. Use of the autopilot reduces crew workload, particularly in
respect to flight path control, and allows more time for
management and monitoring the approach.
4. Also, correct use of the autoflight altitude select feature can
help prevent descents below authorized altitudes.
B. Setting Minimums
1. When the published MDA is not a multiple of 100’, round it up
to the next 100’ (e.g. 620’ is rounded up to 700’).
2. When setting MDA, set the “adjusted” MDA in the altitude
window using the GP. This number now becomes the “new”
MDA for the approach. When an intermediate step-down
altitude(s) is designated, set the GP altitude to the step-down
altitude(s), then to the “adjusted” MDA.
3. Some approaches may have a step down of 100 feet between
an intermediate fix and the MDA.
C. Descent Profile
1. Once ALT is annunciated on the FMA, set the next lower
intermediate step down altitude until the MDA is set.
2. The V/S for the descent should be managed to avoid level
flight at intermediate altitudes and/or the MDA and places the
aircraft at the MDA concurrent with the VDP or “calculated”
VDP.
Note: The use of FPA (or PTH with VNAV) is recommended so
as to stay close to the glide path indicated by the VTA.
3. The objective is to arrive at the MDA at a distance from the
runway that permits a normal 3 degree profile without leveling
off and maintain this profile to the TDZ.

REV. 5, 01 MAY 2008 4-141


ERJ-170 Pilot Operating Handbook
Chapter 4 Normal Procedures
Section 39 Non-Precision Procedures

Volume 5
D. Calculated VDP
1. If a non-precision approach does not contain a published
VDP, a calculated VDP can be created for better situational
awareness during the approach. The purpose of determining
a ‘calculated’ VDP is to validate the aircraft is at the proper
position on the approach corresponding to the point of
intercept with a 3 degree profile to the touchdown zone. There
are number of ways to calculate a VDP.
2. If using DME or FMS mileage the calculated VDP can be
derived by determining the distance to the runway and using
the 3 to 1 rule. For each one mile from touchdown, the normal
glide path is a multiple of 300 feet above the TDZ elevation.
3. For example, the MDA places you 480 feet above the TDZ
elevation. That means the normal glide path intercepts the
MDA approximately 1.5 miles from the arrival end of the
runway. At this point during the approach you should be at the
proper location to begin normal pitch and thrust adjustment to
establish a 3 degree profile, (700-800 FPM) descent rate.
4. Alternative Method
a. Another method is based on timing and the normal
descent rate for a 3 degree glide path. On a normal glide
path the aircraft descends approximately 100 feet every
nine (9) seconds of flight. For example, the MDA places
you at 480 feet above the TDZ elevation. This means that
it will take approximately 45 seconds (9 times 5), to
descend from the MDA to the landing runway.
b. In this example, the timing from the FAF to the MAP is two
minutes and twenty seconds, (2:20). By subtracting the 45
seconds from the 2:20 you have determined the point of
intercept for a 3 degree profile to the landing runway. At
1:35 seconds past the FAF you should be in a position to
adjust the pitch and thrust for normal descent to the
landing runway.

Volume 5
E. Target Vertical Speed
Non-precision approaches with a steep descent gradient may
require approximately 1000 fpm to ensure reaching the MDA by
the charted VDP position, or “calculated” VDP. By 1000 ft. AFE,
the descent rate will be transitioning to no greater than 1000 fpm.
The descent rate should be stabilized at 700-800 fpm when tran-
sitioning to the visual flight phase.
F. MDA to Landing
After leveling off at the MDA (the MDA set on the GP is the mini-
mum altitude for the approach), request the altitude window on the
GP to the missed approach altitude after ALT (green) is displayed
on the FMA, or after the landing callout is made. Maintain the MDA
until a 3 degree glide path can be established to the TDZ. When
leaving MDA, the autopilot must be disengaged. Complete the
landing manually.

I. Circling Approaches
1. Shuttle America’s Restrictions
a. Shuttle America aircrews are permitted to accept instru-
ment approaches that terminate in a "circle-to-land"
maneuver only if the reported ceiling is at or above 1000
feet HAA and the visibility is better than 3 SM.
b. If the flightcrew requests or ATC assigns a circling
approach, the CA must fly the approach and landing.
c. The aircrew must use the highest of the following landing
minimums for an instrument approach that requires a
circle-to-land maneuver to align the aircraft with the
runway of intended landing when a straight-in landing from
an instrument approach is not possible or is not desirable:
1) The circling landing minimum specified by the appli-
cable instrument approach procedure,
or
2) 1,000 FT HAA ceiling and 3 Statute Miles Visibility,
whichever is higher.

2. Procedure
a. Proper planning is the key to a well-executed circling
approach. The circling approach must be thoroughly
briefed during the approach briefing with emphasis on
crew duties, callouts, direction of circle, and missed
approach considerations.
b. Prior to each approach, the Descent Check will be
accomplished. When crossing the final approach fix, the
Captain will establish a descent rate using the appropriate
Flight Path Angle for the approach. Fly the first part of the
Non-Precision Approach in accordance with the Non-
Precision Approach Procedures found in this chapter.
c. This maneuver will be initially flown on the autopilot with
the Autothrottles connected to allow both pilots the ability
to spend the maximum time looking outside the cockpit for
visual cues and other aircraft in the pattern.

REV. 4, 15 FEB 2008 4-148


ERJ-170 Pilot Operating Handbook
Chapter 4 Normal Procedures
Section 39 Non-Precision Procedures

Volume 5
d. When both pilots have acquired the airport visually, the
Captain will verify the heading bug is on the initial heading
to start the circling approach and select the Heading Mode
on the Flight Guidance Panel. During the remainder of the
circling maneuver, the Captain can either command the
PM to move the heading bug to a specific heading or move
the heading bug himself. As a technique, the pilots are
allowed to back up the circling approach with the ILS for
the landing runway.
e. During the circling maneuver, when the aircraft intercepts
a normal visual glide path to the landing runway, the
Captain will disconnect the autopilot but leave the Auto-
throttles engaged. Once a stabilized descent towards the
landing runway has been established, Autothrottles may
be disconnected at the discretion of the Captain.
f. The FO will make the appropriate visual approach callouts
as previously described.
g. Do not exceed 30° angle of bank during the circling
maneuver.
3. Missed Approach from a Circling Maneuver
a. A missed approach must be initiated at any point if the
approach is not stabilized, if the aircraft is not in a position
from which a normal landing can be made, or any time
visual reference with the airport and runway is lost.
b. Initially perform a climbing turn toward the landing runway.
Continue turning until established on the prescribed
missed approach course. Then follow the specific missed
approach procedures for that particular instrument
approach that has been flown, unless an alternate missed
approach procedure has been specified by ATC. Adher-
ence to the procedure will assure that the aircraft will
remain within the circling and missed approach obstruction
clearance areas.

Chapter 4 Normal Procedures
Section 40 RNAV Approach

Volume 5
Section 40 RNAV Approach
A. General
1. The ERJ-170 is authorized to conduct RNAV approaches that
provide lateral guidance to the runway threshold.
2. This FMS generated guidance can use a variety of sensor
inputs of which GPS is primary. The RNAV approach is a non-
precision approach using an MDA based on LNAV or LNAV/
VNAV minimums, whichever is appropriate.
Note: LPV minimums are not authorized.
B. Jeppesen Approach Plate Terminology
1. Jeppesen approach plates may be labeled RNAV (GPS),
RNAV, GPS, VOR or GPS, etc. In other words, if the title of the
approach contains RNAV or GPS and the approach is stored
in the nav database, then the approach may be flown.
Note: Pilot modifications to the stored procedures (to include
fixes, altitudes or angles) are not permitted.
2. The approach plate in the “PRE-APPROACH BRIEFING
INFORMATION” section, will list approach requirements. For
instance, “GPS or RNP - 0.3 required” means that if you have
GPS or no GPS, but your RNP is 0.3 NM or less, you are legal
to execute the approach. “DME/DME RNP - 0.3 not
authorized” means that if you do not have GPS, you are not
authorized to execute the approach.
C. LNAV/VNAV Approaches
1. When conducting LNAV/VNAV approaches, the PF (or the PM
upon the command of the PF) will set the LNAV/VNAV MDA
(rounded up to the nearest 100 feet) into the AFCS altitude via
the guidance panel when ATC issues the clearance for the
RNAV approach.
2. The PF will descend the aircraft via the VNAV button on the
flight guidance panel. The PM will monitor the aircraft to
ensure that all intermediate altitudes are properly maintained
throughout the approach.

REV. 4, 15 FEB 2008 4-151


ERJ-170 Pilot Operating Handbook
Chapter 4 Normal Procedures
Section 40 RNAV Approach

Volume 5
3. For approaches utilizing LNAV/VNAV minimums, the flight
crew will input the lowest altitude that the aircraft is cleared to
in the AFCS via the guidance panel. Both pilots must verbally
re-confirm all intermediate altitudes by cross-checking the
altitudes listed in the Jeppesen Chart with the altitudes listed
in the right hand column of the Active Flight Plan in the MCDU.
The PF is responsible to ensure that all altitude crossing
restrictions are met when the VNAV button is engaged.
4. Missed Approach Procedures
a. Missed approach procedures are the same as any other
non-precision instrument approach except that the missed
approach will be commenced upon reaching the LNAV/
VNAV MDA if the runway is not distinctly visible.
b. In the event the runway is distinctly visible at or prior to
reaching the LNAV/VNAV MDA, the PF will use the
following procedures
1) Announce intentions (“Landing”)
2) Disconnect the autopilot
3) Callout “Set Missed Approach Altitude”
WARNING: Depending on which vertical mode is annunciated on
the FMA (FPA, ASEL, or ALT), when the missed
approach altitude is set the flight director may
command a climb. The PF should continue the
descent visually on a 3 degree glide path and land the
aircraft.
4) Callout “Set FPA 3 Degrees”
5. All other procedures are identical to the LNAV Approach
procedures.
D. Required Navigational Performance (RNP)
1. Currently, all published RNAV approaches have an RNP of
0.3 NM which is depicted on the approach plate. Selection of
the RNP is automatic in the ERJ-170/175 Honeywell FMS and
will change from the terminal setting of “1.0” to the approach
setting of “0.3” two miles from the final approach fix. RNP is
displayed on the PFD HSI and on the PROG page (1).
2. Estimated Position Uncertainty (EPU) is displayed on the
PROG page (1). If the EPU exceeds the RNP, a DGRAD
message is displayed on the PFD HSI. By switching the SRC
(the FMS source), the EPU may be within limits and the
approach continued.

The approach must be discontinued if any of the following mes-
sages annunciate:
1. The DGRAD message on the PFD
Note: The SRC (the FMS source) may be switched to maintain
the EPU within limits. After accomplishing this switch
and the ensuring DGRAD message is not annunciated,
the approach may be continued.
2. GPS RAIM ABOVE LIMIT, GPS RAIM UNAVAILABLE, or
GPS FAILED messages on the MCDU
Section 41 Landing Callout
A. For CAT I ILS, RNAV, and Visual Approaches
The PF may call “Landing” when:
1. the aircraft is cleared to land
2. the aircraft is in position to land safely, and
3. the runway environment will remain in sight until touchdown.
B. Prior to the “Landing” Callout
1. All approach callouts will be made in accordance with the
procedures outlined in this manual.
2. The PM will callout any visual cues associated with the
runway (e.g., strobe/approach lights, threshold location -left/
right/ahead) until the PF calls out “Landing.”
C. After the “Landing” Callout
1. The PM will continue to monitor instruments and call out any
deviations that would prevent a safe landing, and revert to
visual approach callouts.

Section 43 Go Around
A. Preparation
Maintain “Mode Awareness” by monitoring the FMA to determine
the engaged pitch and roll modes.
B. Manual vs. Automatic Go Around Procedures
Go around procedures maximize the use of the automation. Pilots
must remain mentally prepared to execute a F/D or raw data go
around in the event of equipment failure or malfunction.
C. TOGA Switch.
All go around procedures begin by pressing either TOGA switch.
The TOGA switch engages the highest level of automation avail-
able. This includes autopilot, Autothrottle and flight director use.
D. Thrust And Configuration Requirements.
1. 1000 feet AFE and Below: All go-arounds initiated below
1000 feet AFE must follow the go around thrust and
configuration requirements of this section. The TOGA
functions of the AFCS system and the autothrottle will
operate.
2. Above 1000 feet AFE: Thrust usage and configuration
requirements are at the pilot’s discretion. For example, while
descending through 2000 feet with gear down and flaps 3,
ATC asks for a right turn to downwind for additional spacing,
expect a turn to final in 2 miles. The pilot may elect to level off,
keep the gear and flaps extended and complete the
configuration after re-established inbound.
3. Thrust Levers: Normal thrust lever operation is with the
autothrottle function engaged. Thrust levers may be set
manually with the autothrottle function disengaged to either
the TOGA or maximum thrust positions
4. Flight Director Go Around: Flap retraction is accomplished
by reference to the indicated airspeed display. Retract flaps at
or above the F Bug.
5. Raw Data Go Around: Flap retraction is accomplished
identically to Flight Director Go Around.

REV. 4, 15 FEB 2008 4-158


ERJ-170 Pilot Operating Handbook
Chapter 4 Normal Procedures
Section 43 Go Around

Volume 5
6. Executing the Go Around:
a. Sufficient visual cues must exist to continue the approach
below DH or MDA. If visual cues are lost after DH or MDA
due to shallow fog, snow flurries, or heavy precipitation,
the pilot shall immediately initiate a go-around and fly the
published missed approach procedure as required by the
14 CFR’s. Go arounds, when properly executed, involve
little loss of altitude below the altitude at which the go
around is “started ”.
Note: Either pilot (Pilot Flying or Pilot Monitoring) can call for a
go-around at any time during the approach and transition
to landing. If either pilot calls for a go around, the PF
must execute the go around maneuver without
hesitation.
b. Missed approach procedures for straight-in approaches
rarely present a problem. Conducting a missed approach
when not established on a final approach course should be
as follows:
1) If a go around is required at any time while maneu-
vering in the traffic pattern and visual conditions
cannot be maintained, perform a climbing turn toward
the runway of intended landing (this maneuver will
position the aircraft over the airport and climbing).
2) When over the airport and climbing, turn (in the
shortest direction) to the missed approach fix and
proceed with published procedure.
E. Go Around Maneuver
1. To initiate the go around press either TOGA switch. If an
automatic approach has been flown, the autopilot and
autothrottle can remain engaged. If the approach has been
flown manually, rotate smoothly to a 12° pitch attitude and
then follow flight director commands. Verify thrust levers move
to TOGA thrust.
2. Verify the GA modes are annunciated on the FMA. The GA
pitch mode initially commands a go around attitude and then
transitions to speed as the rate of climb increases. This speed
is normally between VAC and VAC + 15 knots. The GA roll
mode maintains existing ground track.
3. Accomplish the missed approach procedure. If a turning
missed approach procedure is required, accomplish the
missed approach procedure through gear up before initiating
the turn. Delay further flap retraction until initial maneuvering
is complete and a safe altitude and appropriate speed are
attained.

ERJ-170 Pilot Operating Handbook
Chapter 4 Normal Procedures
Section 46 Normal Landing

Volume 5
Section 46 Normal Landing
A. Vertical Guidance
1. As with any aircraft, the key to a successful landing is to make
a stabilized approach by using:
a. glideslope (ILS),
b. glidepath (vertical guidance), and/or
c. visual cues (VASI, PAPI, etc.).
2. By doing this, the aircraft should cross the landing threshold at
a height of approximately 50 feet, which corresponds to a
touchdown point of 1,000 feet.
3. The acceptable touchdown range is 750 to 1,250 feet from the
runway threshold.
B. Thrust
1. The PF should decide when to retard the thrust levers
considering all external circumstances (e.g., landing
configuration, aircraft speed versus target, speed trend arrow,
aircraft acceleration/deceleration rate, aircraft height versus
descent path, aircraft rate of closure with the ground, gusts,
shears, outside perception of the runway, etc.).
2. Unless unusual conditions dictate otherwise, the thrust levers
should be at IDLE prior to starting the flare at approximately
20 feet. It is recommended not to attempt to touchdown with
the thrust above idle.
C. Flare
1. A concerted flare is neither required nor desirable.
2. A slight increase in pitch (1-2°), at approximately 20 feet, is all
that is needed to check the rate of descent.
3. This will produce a consistent touchdown point, while
protecting against a tailstrike and excessive float.
4. The landing should occur without a long flare.

REV. 4, 15 FEB 2008 4-165


ERJ-170 Pilot Operating Handbook
Chapter 4 Normal Procedures
Section 46 Normal Landing

Volume 5
D. Touchdown
1. After main gear touchdown, begin to smoothly fly the nose
wheel onto the runway by relaxing aft control column
pressure. Control column movement forward of neutral should
not be required.
CAUTION: Pitch rates sufficient to cause aircraft structural
damage can occur if large nose down control column
movement is made prior to nose wheel touchdown.
E. Ground Spoilers
1. The ground spoilers “spoil” the lift from the wings, which
places the aircraft weight on the main landing gear, providing
excellent brake effectiveness.
2. Effectiveness: Unless ground spoilers are extended after
touchdown, braking effectiveness may be reduced initially as
much as 60 percent, since very little weight will be on the
wheels and brake application may cause rapid anti-skid
modulation.
3. Auto-Deploy: Normally, ground spoilers will extend
automatically.
F. Nosewheel & Rudder Inputs after Touchdown
1. Nosewheel: If the nosewheel is not promptly lowered to the
runway, braking and steering capability are significantly
degraded and no drag benefit will be gained.
2. Rudder: Rudder control is effective to approximately 60
knots. Rudder pedal steering is sufficient for maintaining
directional control during the roll-out.
3. Nosewheel Steering: Do not use the nosewheel steering
tiller until reaching taxi speed. In a crosswind, displace the
control wheel into the wind to maintain wings-level which aids
directional control.
CAUTION: Nose wheel steering tiller should not be used above
normal taxi speeds (30 knots).

Volume 5
G. Reverse Thrust
1. The importance of establishing the desired reverse thrust as
soon as possible after touchdown can not be
overemphasized.
2. Immediate initiation of maximum reverse thrust at main gear
touchdown is the preferred technique and full reverse thrust
will minimize brake temperature, tire and brake wear, and
reduce the stopping distance on very slippery runways. Under
normal circumstances, the pilot should be able to routinely use
maximum reverse and minimum braking to bring the aircraft to
a safe taxi speed.
Note: Use of minimum reverse thrust is not recommended and
will almost double the brake energy requirements which
can result in brake temperatures much higher than
normal.
Note: Reverse thrust is most effective at high speeds.
3. Use of minimum reverse thrust will almost double the brake
energy requirements and can result in brake temperatures
much higher than normal.
Note: Reverse thrust is most effective at high speeds.
4. Application: After touchdown and when the thrust levers are
retarded to idle, lift the reverse thrust triggers on the thrust
reverser levers. Select maximum reverse thrust consistent
with runway conditions and modulate reverse thrust as
required.
Note: If an engine surges during reverse thrust operation,
quickly select reverse idle on both engines.
5. Callouts: The PM will call out:
a. the number of green REV annunciations
b. any limits being approached and/or exceeded
c. any other abnormalities
d. “80 KNOTS” and “60 KNOTS” to assist the PF in
programming the reverse thrust
6. Reduction: Maintain up to maximum reverse thrust until the
airspeed approaches 80 knots. Then start reducing the
reverse thrust so the reverse levers are moving down at a rate
commensurate with the deceleration rate of the aircraft.
Reverse idle should be reached by 60 knots, then to full down
after the engines have decelerated to idle.

REV. 4, 15 FEB 2008 4-167


ERJ-170 Pilot Operating Handbook
Chapter 4 Normal Procedures
Section 46 Normal Landing

Volume 5
7. Engine Inoperative: Reverse thrust may be used with one
engine inoperative. Use normal reversing procedures and
techniques. If directional control becomes a concern during
deceleration, return the operating engine lever to reverse idle
detent.
H. Braking
The following procedure will give optimum braking for all runway
conditions:
1. The pilot’s seat and rudder pedals should be adjusted so it is
possible to apply maximum braking with full rudder deflection.
2. After main gear touchdown, smoothly apply a constant brake
pedal pressure for the desired braking. For short or slippery
runways, use full brake pedal.
3. Pumping the brakes will degrade braking effectiveness. Keep
a steadily increasing brake pressure applied, allowing the
anti-skid system to function at its optimum.
4. The anti-skid system will stop the aircraft for all runway
conditions in a shorter distance than is possible with either
anti-skid off or brake pedal modulation.
5. The anti-skid system adapts pilot-applied brake pressure to
runway conditions by sensing an impending skid condition
and adjusting the brake pressure to each individual wheel for
maximum braking effort. When brakes are applied on a
slippery runway, several skid cycles will occur before the anti-
skid system establishes the right amount of brake pressure for
the most effective braking.
6. Do not attempt to modulate, pump, or improve the braking by
any other special techniques.
7. If the pilot modulates the brake pedals, the anti-skid system is
forced to readjust the brake pressure to establish optimum
braking. During this re-adjustment time, braking efficiency is
lost.
8. Do not release the brake pedal pressure until the airplane
speed has been reduced to a safe taxi speed.

REV. 4, 15 FEB 2008 4-168


ERJ-170 Pilot Operating Handbook
Chapter 4 Normal Procedures
Section 46 Normal Landing

Volume 5
9. Anti-Skid Inoperative: When the anti-skid system is
inoperative, the following procedures apply:
a. Ensure the nosewheel is on the ground and the speed
brakes are extended (assume automatic deployment
unless appropriate EICAS messages are displayed)
before applying the brakes.
b. Initiate wheel braking using very light pedal pressure and
increase pressure as ground speed decreases.
Note: Apply steady pressure. Do not pump the pedals.
c. Anti-skid-off braking requires even greater care during
light-weight landings.
10. Brake Cooling: A series of taxi-back or stop-and-go landings,
without additional in-flight cooling, can cause excessive brake
temperature. The energy absorbed by the brakes from each
landing is cumulative.

J. Crosswind Landing
1. Methods
a. Four methods of performing crosswind landings are
presented. They are the sideslip, de-crab technique (with
removal of crab in flare), crab technique for slippery
runways, and combination crab/sideslip technique.
b. Whenever a crab is maintained during a crosswind
approach, offset the cockpit on the upwind side of center-
line so the main gear touches down on the runway center-
line.
2. Sideslip
a. The sideslip crosswind technique aligns the aircraft with
the extended runway course so main gear touchdown
occurs on the runway centerline.
b. The initial phase of the approach to landing is flown using
the crab method to correct for drift. Prior to the flare, the
aircraft centerline is aligned on or parallel to the runway
centerline.
c. Downwind rudder is used to align the longitudinal axis to
the desired track as aileron is applied into the wind to
prevent drift. A steady sideslip is established, with opposite
rudder and low wing into the wind to hold the desired
course.
d. Touchdown is accomplished with the upwind wheels
touching just before the downwind wheels. Overcontrolling
the roll axis must be avoided because over-banking could
cause the engine nacelle or outboard wing flap to contact
the runway.
e. Properly coordinated, this maneuver will result in nearly
fixed rudder and aileron control positions during the final
phase of the approach, touchdown, and beginning of the
landing roll.

ERJ-170 Pilot Operating Handbook
Chapter 4 Normal Procedures
Section 46 Normal Landing

Volume 5
3. De-Crab During Flare
a. The objective of this technique is to maintain wings-level
throughout the approach, flare, and touchdown.
b. On final approach, a crab angle is established with the
wings-level to maintain the desired course.
c. Just prior to touchdown while flaring the aircraft, downwind
rudder is applied to eliminate the crab and align the aircraft
with the runway centerline.
d. As rudder is applied, the upwind wing will sweep forward,
developing roll due to lifting forces.
e. Hold the wings level with simultaneous application of
aileron control into the wind.
f. The touchdown is made with cross-controls and both gear
touching down simultaneously.
g. Throughout the touchdown phase, upwind aileron applica-
tion is utilized to keep the wings level.
4. Touchdown in Crab on Slippery Runways
a. On very slippery runways, the crosswind crab angle may
be maintained to touchdown.
b. This will reduce drift toward the downwind side when
touching down.
c. Since the aircraft does not have to be de-crabbed, pilot
workload is reduced.
d. Proper rudder and upwind aileron must be maintained to
ensure directional control is maintained.
e. On slippery runways, crosswind capability is a function of
runway surface conditions, aircraft loading, and pilot tech-
nique.
5. Combining Crab and Sideslip
a. It may be necessary to combine crab and sideslip during
strong crosswinds.
b. Main gear touchdown is made with the wing low and crab
angle applied.
c. As the upwind gear touches first, a slight increase in down-
wind rudder is applied to straighten the nose.
d. A simultaneous application of aileron is applied to maintain
wings-level.

K. Land And Hold Short Operations (LAHSO)
LAHSO is an acronym for "Land And Hold Short Operations".
These operations include landing and holding short of an inter-
secting runway, an intersecting taxiway, or some other designated
point on a runway other than an intersecting runway or taxiway.
1. Approved LAHSO Airports and Runway Configurations
Shuttle America is authorized to conduct Land and Hold Short
Operations at the destination airports and runway configura-
tions listed in General Operations Manual (GOM) in accor-
dance with the Operations Specifications A027.
2. LAHSO Policies and Procedures
The following paragraphs outline specific pilot/operator
responsibilities when conducting LAHSO.
a. Pilot Notification of LAHSO
When LAHSO operations are expected to be utilized, an
announcement will be made on the ATIS; e.g. "LAHSO in
effect" or "Expect landing on Runway 22 to hold short of
Runway 27". The Available Landing Distance (ALD) may
or may not be added to the ATIS message.
When LAHSO is conducted at locations not served by an
ATIS, or the ATIS is out of service, pilots will be advised on
initial contact, or as soon as practical thereafter, to expect
a LAHSO clearance.
Aircraft conducting closed traffic operations need only be
advised once that LAHSO is in effect. Acknowledgement
of the current ATIS meets this requirement.

REV. 4, 15 FEB 2008 4-172


ERJ-170 Pilot Operating Handbook
Chapter 4 Normal Procedures
Section 46 Normal Landing

Volume 5
b. Planning
To conduct LAHSO, pilots should become familiar with all
available information concerning LAHSO at their
destination airport. Pilots should have, readily available,
the published ALD and runway slope information for all
LAHSO runway combinations at each airport of intended
landing. Additionally, knowledge about landing
performance data permits the pilot to readily determine
that the ALD for the assigned runway is sufficient for safe
LAHSO. As part of a pilot's preflight planning process,
pilots should determine if their destination airport has
LAHSO. If so, their preflight planning process should
include an assessment of which LAHSO combinations
would work for them given their aircraft's required landing
distance. Good pilot decision making is knowing in
advance whether one can accept a LAHSO clearance if
offered.
Note: The maximum required field length for landing at the
destination airport for the ERJ-170 at its respective
maximum allowable landing weight is always within the
6000' minimum landing distance.
Upon receipt of the Automatic Terminal Information
Service (ATIS), or notification by ATC that LAHSO is being
conducted on the expected landing runway, the pilot in
command shall determine the capability to accept the
LAHSO clearance. When the ATIS is acknowledged, and
upon initial contact with the appropriate control tower, the
PIC will advise ATC when unable to accept the LAHSO
clearance.
A LAHSO clearance shall not be accepted by the flight
crew if provided after the aircraft has descended below
1,000 feet above ground level (AGL) on final approach to
the landing runway.

Section 46 Normal Landing

Volume 5
c. Minimum Equipment List Requirements
LAHSO is prohibited if the aircraft is subject to any
minimum equipment list item that affects the stopping
capability of the aircraft. The following table shows these
MEL items. If any one of the items listed is deferred, do not
accept a LAHSO clearance.

d. Required Landing Distance for LAHSO


If the computation of LAHSO data interferes with other
cockpit safety of flight duties, the LAHSO shall not be
accomplished.
Required landing distances or maximum weights for
LAHSO are readily available to the PIC in these sources:
- Landing weight cards in the airplane.
- The ERJ-170 POH Chapter 9.
- The General Operations Manual (GOM) Chapter 7.
e. Importance of a Stabilized Approach and Touchdown
Accuracy when Conducting LAHSO

REV. 4, 15 FEB 2008 4-174


ERJ-170 Pilot Operating Handbook
Chapter 4 Normal Procedures
Section 46 Normal Landing

Volume 5
1) Stabilized Approach
It is essential that a stabilized approach to the landing
runway be flown. A stabilized approach must be
established before descending below the following
minimum stabilized approach altitudes:
• 500 feet above the airport elevation during visual flight
rules (VFR) or visual approaches and during straight-in
instrument approaches in Visual Meteorological
Conditions (VMC).
• Minimum descent altitude (MDA) or 500 feet above
airport elevation, whichever is lower, if a circling
maneuver is to be conducted after completing an
instrument approach.
• 1,000 feet above the airport or touchdown zone (TDZ)
elevation during any straight-in instrument approach in
instrument flight conditions.

2) Touchdown Accuracy
It is essential that the airplane touch down in the first one-
third of the ALD, but in no case greater than 3,000 feet
down the runway, whichever is less.

3) Rejected Landing
If touchdown in the first one-third of the ALD, but in no case
greater than 3,000 feet down the runway is not assured, a
rejected landing must be executed.
3. Limitations and Provisions
a. Only the Captain will perform LAHSO.
b. LAHSO on contaminated runways is prohibited.
c. LAHSO will not be authorized to a runway that does not
have visual or electronic vertical guidance.
d. Minimum Weather Requirements:
LAHSO requires the following prevailing weather
conditions:
- Ceiling of no less than 1,500 feet.
- Visibility of no less than 5 statute miles.

REV. 4, 15 FEB 2008 4-175


ERJ-170 Pilot Operating Handbook
Chapter 4 Normal Procedures
Section 46 Normal Landing

Volume 5
Where a Precision Approach Path Indicator (PAPI) or
Visual Approach Slope Indicator (VASI) is installed and
operational, the following weather minima can exist:
- Ceiling of no less than 1,000 feet.
- Visibility of no less than 3 statute miles.
At locations where a rejected landing procedure is
published, the ceiling and visibility minima will be
established in local flying directives.
e. Pilots will only accept a LAHSO clearance when the above
weather conditions exist as listed above. The intent of
having "basic" VFR weather conditions is to allow pilots to
maintain visual contact with other aircraft and ground
vehicle operations. Pilots should consider the effects of
prevailing inflight visibility (such as landing into the sun)
and how it may affect overall situational awareness.
f. LAHSO is not authorized if windshear has been reported
within the previous 20 minutes prior to the LAHSO clear-
ance being issued.
g. The tailwind on the hold short runway shall be calm (less
than 3 knots).
h. Night LAHSO may only be conducted where an approved
LAHSO lighting configuration is installed and operating.
4. Pilot Requirements when conducting LAHSO
Pilots may accept a LAHSO clearance provided that the pilot-
in-command determines that the aircraft can safely land and
stop within the Available Landing Distance (ALD).
Pilots receiving instructions "cleared to land, runway "xx""
from air traffic control are authorized to use the entire landing
length of the runway and should disregard any holding posi-
tion markings located on the runway.
Pilots receiving and accepting instructions "cleared to land
runway "xx," hold short of runway "yy" from air traffic control
must either exit runway "xx", or stop at the holding position
prior to runway "yy".

REV. 4, 15 FEB 2008 4-176

Volume 5
A pilot is expected to promptly inform ATC, ideally even before
the clearance is issued, if for any reason, the pilot elects to
land on the full length of the runway, to land on another
runway, or to decline LAHSO.
A LAHSO clearance, once accepted, must be adhered to, just
as any other ATC clearance, unless an amended clearance is
obtained or an emergency occurs. A LAHSO clearance does
not preclude a rejected landing.
If a rejected landing becomes necessary after accepting a
LAHSO clearance, the pilot should maintain safe separation
from other aircraft or vehicles, and should promptly notify the
controller.
Controllers need a full read back of all LAHSO clearances.
Pilots should read back their LAHSO clearance and include
the words, "HOLD SHORT OF (RUNWAY/TAXIWAY/OR
POINT)" in their acknowledgment of all LAHSO clearances.
In order to reduce frequency congestion, pilots are required to
read back the LAHSO clearance without prompting. Don't
make the controller have to ask for a read back!
EXAMPLE:
ATC: "(Aircraft ID) cleared to land runway six right, hold short
of taxiway bravo for crossing traffic (type aircraft)."
Aircraft: "(Aircraft ID), wilco, cleared to land runway six right
to hold short of taxiway bravo."
ATC: "Aircraft ID) cross runway six right at taxiway bravo,
landing aircraft will hold short."
Aircraft: "(Aircraft ID), wilco, cross runway six right at bravo,
landing traffic (type aircraft) to hold."
5. Rejected Landing Procedure (RLP)
If a rejected landing becomes necessary, the PIC must
promptly notify ATC.
A rejected landing must be initiated immediately if any doubt
exists whether a safe landing will occur within the first one-
third of the ALD, or within 3,000 feet down the runway,
whichever is less.

a. With Published RLP
1) Upon conducting an instrument approach and cleared
to land and hold short, and a go-around becomes
necessary:
a) Below 1000 feet AGL and in VMC, execute the
published rejected landing procedure and main-
tain clear of clouds.
b) At or above 1000 feet AGL, and in IMC or VMC,
execute the published missed approach for the
instrument procedure being flown.
2) If conducting a visual approach and cleared to land
and hold short, and a go around becomes necessary:
a) Below 1000 feet AGL, execute the published
rejected landing procedure and maintain clear of
clouds.
3) Heading and/or altitude assignments must be flown
as published until directed otherwise by ATC.

b. Without Published RLP


1) Upon conducting an instrument approach and cleared
to land and hold short, and a go around becomes
necessary:
a) Below 1000 feet AGL and in VMC, remain clear of

other traffic.
b) At or above 1000 feet AGL, and in IMC or VMC,
execute the published missed approach for the
instrument procedure being flown.
2) Upon conducting a visual approach and cleared to
land and hold short, and a go around becomes neces-
sary below 1000 feet AGL, pilots are expected to
remain clear of clouds and maintain visual separation
from all other traffic.
3) The pilot is expected to comply with specific heading
and/or altitude instructions issued by ATC.

c. PIC Final Authority
The pilot-in-command has the final authority to accept or
decline any land and hold short clearance.
6. Use of Anti Skid and Thrust Reverse
The anti skid system and/or thrust reverse system must be
functional during a landing under LAHSO conditions. LAHSO
is prohibited if either aircraft system is inoperable that would
adversely affect the stopping capability.
7. Crew Briefing
There have been several instances where the pilot operating
the radios accepted a LAHSO clearance but forgot to tell the
pilot flying the aircraft. Effective communication between
cockpit crewmembers is critical. The approach briefing must
cover the required LAHSO items.
a. If LAHSO is in effect for the planned landing runway, the
flight crew will include the following items with the
approach briefing:
1) LAHSO Runway and Hold Short Point(s);
2) Available Landing Distance (ALD);
3) Will ALD permit landing in actual configuration/

factor of two to one.
2. Based upon information gathered from tail strike occurrences,
deviation from the normal landing maneuver above, is the
main cause of tail strikes.
3. The mistakes most commonly made are:
4. allowing the airspeed to decrease well below VAPP,
a. prolonged hold-off for a smooth touchdown, and
b. starting to flare the aircraft too high above the runway.
5. Flaring Too High:
a. Of these three commonly made mistakes, flaring the
aircraft too high above the runway has the greatest poten-
tial for a tail strike and resulting damage.
b. When the flare is started too high above the runway,
airspeed will decrease below VAPP causing the PF to
compensate.
c. When placed in this situation, the tendency is to continue
to increase pitch in an effort to arrest the excessive sink
rate.
d. 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.
e. While the touchdown will be firm, taking this corrective
action will prevent a tail strike.

Section 48 Rejected Landing

Volume 5
C. Bouncing at Touchdown
Do not allow the pitch attitude to increase, particularly following a
firm touchdown with a high pitch rate.
1. In case of a light bounce
a. Maintain the pitch attitude and complete the landing while
keeping the thrust at idle.
2. In case of a high bounce
a. Maintain the pitch attitude and initiate a go around.
Note: Do not try to avoid a second touchdown during the go
around. Should the aircraft touchdown, the impact will be
soft enough to prevent damage to the aircraft provided
pitch attitude is maintained.
CAUTION: A landing should not be attempted immediately after a
high bounce.
b. When safely established in the go around, accomplish
normal go around procedures.

Section 48 Rejected Landing


A. Rejected Landing Maneuver
1. The rejected landing maneuver is identical to the go around
maneuver.
2. Apply go around thrust and select go around flaps while
rotating to go around attitude.
3. Retract the landing gear after a positive rate of climb is
established and retract the flaps on schedule at a safe
altitude.
WARNING: After reverse thrust is initiated, a full stop landing
must be made. Factors dictating this are five seconds
are required for a reverser to stow in the forward
thrust position and possibility exists a reverser may
not stow in the forward thrust position.

LIGHTNING STRIKE
If Lightning Strike Is Suspected To Occur
An imminent lightning strike event may be indicated to flight
crews by the buildup of static discharge which causes
interference on ADF indicators or noise in communication
receivers. Another indication is St. Elmo’s Fire, which is visible at
night as small electrical discharges running across the
windshields and sparking on the wings.
Consider wearing sunglasses to protect your eyes from the flash
or have one pilot keep eyes downward.

All Cockpit Lights..................... ON/FULL BRIGHTNESS

If The Airplane Has Been Hit By Lightning


If situation is under control after a lightning strike, apply the
following procedure to ascertain whether the flight may be
proceed normally. If all 8 listed items check normal, the PIC may
continue the flight to the original destination airport that the
aircraft was dispatched.
1. Circuit Breakers........................................................CHECK
2. Compass/Heading System ......................................CHECK
a. Check magnetic compass and heading system for
normal indication.
3. Engine Indication......................................................CHECK
a. Check engine for normal indication and apply associated
procedure if any failure arises after strike attachment.
b. In case of engine shutdown, the flight crew shall analyze
the circumstances of the event and consider an engine
airstart.

4. Pressurization...........................................................CHECK
a. Check pressurization system for normal indication.
5. Flight Controls .......................................................... CHECK
a. Check all flight controls for freedom of movement. Verify
that slats/flaps and speed brakes are working properly
(refer to slats/flaps and speed brakes operating limits).
6. Fuel System ............................................................. CHECK
a. Check fuel system for normal operation. Monitor fuel
remaining and fuel consumption to ascertain that no fuel
leak exists.
7. Altitude ................................................................. MAINTAIN
a. If any structural damage is suspected, never climb the
aircraft unless required by performance (climb, obstacle
clearance, or operational contingencies) and accomplish
the EMERGENCY DESCENT procedure if required.
b. If structural damage is not suspected and the PIC elects to
continue the flight to the destination city, do not climb the
airplane after a lightning strike unless required by perfor-
mance (climb or obstacle clearance) or operational contin-
gencies including normal climb, cruise, and descent profiles
listed on the flight release.
8. All Other Airplane Systems ..................................... CHECK
a. Check all airplane instrument following a panel scan
sequence to ascertain that flight safety prevails.
b. Apply the associated emergency/abnormal procedure if
any failure arises after lightning strike. Consider
discontinuing the flight and land at the nearest suitable
airport if any unsafe condition is revealed after checking
systems operation.

ON GROUND
Approaching and landing an airplane during a thunderstorm is
strongly not recommended. The human body may provide the
grounding that is otherwise lacking. If you are in the cockpit, do
not attempt to communicate with ground through a wire handset,
and stay inside the airplane until the storm has passed.
1. If The Airplane Has Been Hit By Lightning perform an
External safety inspection:
a. Check for holes, punctures, discoloration and de-
lamination throughout the whole airframe.
b. Verify for loose, melted or missing rivets.
c. Check that all static dischargers are in place or in
accordance with the CDL.
d. Verify the integrity of the lights installed on tail, wing,
fuselage and
e. landing gear.
f. Verify all antennas, ice detectors, smart probes, TAT
probes and pressurization static ports for condition.
2. Write up the lightning strike in the Flight/Maintenance
Log and report to maintenance personnel.
3. Make sure that the maintenance performed before flying
the airplane again.
4. Fill out a LIGHTNING STRIKE REPORT form.

OVERWEIGHT LANDING
[Condition: Perform overweight landing when condition dictates it
to be safer to land overweight than to continue flight.
1. Overweight landings are at captain’s discretion.
2. Overweight landing data tablesReview
• Tables are based on anti-skid and ground spoiler system
working.
• The Minimum Landing Distance Table list the minimum
required FAA landing distance vs. gross weight for dry and

Unfactored Landing Distance


The table reflects the actual landing distance required. Plan
accordingly. Chose a runway that provides the largest safety mar-
gin possible.
This information is for in-flight emergency use only. These dis-
tances reflect the required landing distance only. The FAA addi-
tional runway margin is not included. The published distances are
based on the following:
• Touchdown within 1,000 feet from the approach end of the
runway.
• Application of maximum manual braking.

Unfactored Landing Distance


The table reflects the actual landing distance required. Plan
accordingly. Chose a runway that provides the largest safety margin
possible.
This information is for in-flight emergency use only.
These distances reflect the required landing
distance only. The FAA additional runway margin is
not included. The published distances are based on
the following:
• Touchdown within 1,000 feet from the approach end of the
runway.
• Application of maximum manual braking.

Considerations:
• Maintain a clean configuration as long as possible during the
descent and approach to conserve fuel. However, initiate
configuration change early enough to provide a smooth, slow
deceleration to final approach speed to prevent fuel running
forward in the tanks.
• Runway conditions permitting, avoid heavy braking and high
levels of reverse thrust to prevent uncovering all fuel pumps and
possible engine flameout during landing roll.
• For a go around, apply thrust slowly and smoothly, maintain
minimum nose-up attitude required for safe climb gradient and
avoid rapid acceleration.
• If any wing tank fuel pump low pressure message is displayed, do
not turn fuel pump off.

Abnormal Procedures

Section 1 Starting Engines


A. Engine Start Abort
1. The FADEC will shut down the start sequence automatically
for various abnormal conditions. However, safety
considerations dictate that the First Officer must keep one
hand on the START/STOP switch during all starts in case of a
malfunction of the controlling FADEC.
2. Abort the engine start by selecting STOP and accomplishing
the Aborted Engine Start checklist. If the reason for the
aborted start is a start valve stuck open, accomplish the ENG
1 (2) START VLV OPEN Checklist.
B. Hung Start
If a hung start occurs, abort the start following the approved pro-
cedures. Start the opposite engine if not yet running. Consider
starting the affected engine with a different air source.
C. Engine Dry Motoring
The Engine Dry Motoring procedure must be performed for at
least 30 seconds after any aborted start to assure that no
unburned fuel remains in the combustion chamber and/or reduce
residual ITT prior to attempting another start.

Volume 5
Section 2 Takeoff Emergencies
A. Rejected Takeoff - General
1. Use the 80 knot check as a type of decision speed for a
rejected takeoff.
a. Prior to 80 knots, the Captain can safely reject the takeoff
for virtually any amber light, any EICAS Caution message,
or any other abnormality where the Captain is not certain
that the aircraft can be safely flown. In this case, the most
conservative action is a rejected takeoff.
b. At or above 80 knots, the Captain should reject the takeoff
only for a major malfunction such as an engine fire, engine
failure, or loss of directional control.
1) In the case of the illumination of an amber light after
80 knots, the most conservative action is to continue
the takeoff unless the Captain is not certain that the
aircraft can be safely flown.
2. Guarding the Thrust Levers - Since the normal takeoff
profile involves the use of the autothrottle system, only the
Captain should have his hands on the thrust levers.
a. There is no need for the other pilot to guard the thrust
levers during the takeoff roll.
b. Whenever the First Officer is making the takeoff, the FO
will push the thrust levers up, call “TOGA” and move his
hands off of the thrust levers.
c. The Captain will then place his hands on the thrust levers
until V1 is called by the PM.

Check brake temperature indication on MFD status page
C. After a Rejected Takeoff
1. Consider the condition of the aircraft and the reason for the
rejection.
2. If the situation is stable, clear the runway before stopping the
aircraft.
3. Stop on the runway if the potential for an evacuation exists.
4. The runway provides crash, fire, and rescue vehicles better
access to the aircraft.
5. Consider requesting assistance from the tower, ground
personnel, or the Flight Attendants in evaluating the situation.
Use all available information in formulating a response plan.
D. Communications
1. Notify the tower of any rejected takeoff. Communications with
the Flight Attendants and passengers must be considered.
E. Rejected Takeoff PA Announcements
1. A rejected takeoff can cause a great deal of anxiety among
passengers.
2. A prompt and professional announcement will reassure the
passengers and may prevent an unwarranted evacuation
initiated by Flight Attendants or passengers.

Section 3 Loss of Thrust At or Above V1

Volume 5
Section 3 Loss of Thrust At or Above V1

A. General
1. In the event of a single engine malfunction accompanied by a
loss of thrust at or above V1, follow the “Loss of Thrust At or
Above V1” procedure. If the engine is still producing normal
thrust (such as an engine fire or compressor/stall), clean up
using the normal takeoff profile except fly:
a. the runway heading or
b. follow the applicable Special Departure procedure (DP) if
published.
c. Call for the “ENG (1 or 2) FAIL” checklist.
d. If the failure was due to an engine fire, or engine seizure,
call for “ENGINE FIRE (1 or 2), SEVERE DAMAGE, OR
SEPARATION checklist.
B. Considerations
1. The PF must fly the aircraft and not be distracted trying to
analyze the problem while the aircraft is in a critical phase of
flight.
2. Normally, the safest course of action is to accomplish the
appropriate non-normal checklist after the flaps are up and the
desired climb speed has been attained.
3. However, under compelling circumstances such as severe
vibration, adverse flight characteristics, etc., it may be
necessary to accomplish the memory items as early as 400 ft.
AFE.
C. Takeoff Performance
1. Takeoff performance using an assumed temperature is
predicated on an engine failure with ATTCS on. ATTCS is on
for every takeoff and through the FADEC will automatically
produce 14,200 pounds on the remaining engine whenever
the FADEC detects a loss of power on the opposite side.
Thus, trying to advance the thrust levers during the takeoff roll
with a power loss will not be necessary to maintain safe flight.
2. In the event ATTCS does not adjust to Max Thrust, manually
advance the thrust lever to the firewall to achieve Max Thrust
on the remaining engine.

ERJ-170 Pilot Operating Handbook
Chapter 6 Abnormal Procedures
Section 3 Loss of Thrust At or Above V1

Volume 5
D. Engine Failure
1. An engine failure is an engine malfunction accompanied by
thrust loss without any apparent damage. The potential for a
relight, inflight start, or continued operation at reduced thrust
exists.

Engine Failure without Severe Damage


Initially identified by: • increasing yaw and
• decreasing N1/N2 indications
Airborne indications: • N1 rotation, FAIL icon on N1 gauge and
• N2 rotation, and
• oil pressure may indicate zero even though
no damage exists
Follow: • “Loss of Thrust At or Above V1” procedure
and
• QRH “ENG 1 (2) FAIL” procedure

E. Engine Fire
1. If the engine is on fire and is still producing normal thrust,
aircraft performance should not be adversely affected.
2. However, if the engine has lost thrust, the performance loss
necessitates the use of the “Loss of Thrust At or Above V1”
procedure.

Engine Fire
Initially identified by: • engine fire warning indications
• little, if any, yaw will occur (if the engine is
still producing thrust)
After airborne: engine failure/severe damage may be imminent
Follow: • normal climb profile except fly the runway
heading or follow the Special Departure
Procedure (DP) if published.
• or if loss of thrust occurs follow “Loss of
Thrust At or Above V1” procedure and
• QRH “ENG 1 (2) FIRE” or “Engine Fire,
Severe Damage or Separation” procedure

Chapter 6 Abnormal Procedures
Section 3 Loss of Thrust At or Above V1

Volume 5
F. Engine Severe Damage
1. Engine severe damage may be due to turbine seizure or
failure. Seizure may not occur until the engine is shutdown. If
the engine has separated: fuel flow, N1, and N2 will drop to
zero with associated hydraulic, pneumatic, and electrical
system non-normal indications. The potential for further
damage or fire exists.

Engine Severe Damage


Initially identified by: • decreasing engine N1/N 2 and vibration
indications on EICAS
• vibration/noise from the affected engine, and
• yaw (may be rapid)
• surge/stall
Confirmed after air- • seized N1 or
borne by: • seized N2 or
• zero oil pressure
• ITT rise
• vibration indications on EICAS display
Follow: • normal climb profile except fly the runway
heading or follow the Special Departure
Procedure (DP) if published.
• or if loss of thrust occurs follow “Loss of
Thrust At or Above V1” procedure and
• QRH “Engine Fire, Severe Damage or
Separation” procedure

G. Compressor/Engine Stall
There are three (3) types of compressor/engine stalls:
1. Single or multiple compressor/engine stalls prior to self
recovery.
a. During takeoff, a single stall will be followed by a loud
bang, yaw, vibration, and engine instrument fluctuation.
b. The engine normally recovers so quickly, if no engine
monitoring message is received, it may be difficult to
detect which engine stalled.
c. For multiple stalls, the loud bang, yaw, vibration, engine
instrument fluctuation, and ITT increase will repeat with
each stall until self recovery.
2. Multiple compressor/engine stalls requiring pilot action to
recover.
a. The loud bang, yaw, vibration, engine instrument fluctua-
tion, and ITT increase will repeat with each stall until thrust
is reduced.
3. Multiple compressor/engine stalls requiring Pilot Action Non-
Recoverable
a. The loud bang, yaw, vibration, engine instrument fluctua-
tion, and ITT increase will repeat with each stall until the
engine is shut down or fails.
b. Compressor/Engine Stall Considerations
c. Multiple compressor/engine stall events increase aircraft
handling difficulty.
d. The magnitude of the symptoms are difficult to simulate
and have distracted crews from flying the aircraft in the
past.
e. The loud bang, yaw, and vibration associated with the stall
have been misidentified as tire failure, a bomb, or more
frequently, severe damage

Section 3 Loss of Thrust At or Above V1

Volume 5
H. Engine Failure Recognition
1. An engine failure due to turbine failure or other internal causes
at or after V1 will initially affect yaw much like a crosswind.
2. Vibration and noise from the affected engine may be apparent
and the onset of the yaw may be rapid.
I. Engine Failure Callout
1. The first pilot recognizing the engine failure will make the
callout “Engine Failure”, but will not identify the engine.
J. Thrust Requirements
1. The PF will continue the takeoff roll and if an assumed
temperature (Flex thrust) has been used for takeoff, the
ATTCS adjusts for loss of thrust. The PM verifies this
compensation by verifying T/O-1 RSV is displayed on the
EICAS.
2. Engine-out takeoff performance meets or exceeds required
climb gradients even at FLEX thrust settings.
K. Directional Control Prior to, and During, Liftoff
1. To counter the thrust asymmetry due to an engine failure
between V1 and liftoff, maintain directional control by
smoothly applying rudder proportionally to thrust decay;
thereby, maintaining the desired ground track.
2. Use aileron to keep wings level during the liftoff. Anticipate
additional rudder displacement when the nosewheel leaves
the runway.
L. Rotation
1. At VR, the PM will callout “Rotate”.
2. The PF will rotate with one continuous motion at a rate slightly
less than for a normal takeoff, or approximately 2° per second.
3. After liftoff continue the rotation rate as follows:
a. With the flight director operative, fly the flight director pitch
commands.
b. With the flight director inoperative, fly a maximum deck
angle limited to 8°.

Chapter 6 Abnormal Procedures
Section 3 Loss of Thrust At or Above V1

Volume 5
M. Directional Control After Liftoff
1. The first indication of engine failure will be a bank towards the
failed engine. If an engine failure occurs after liftoff, apply
rudder in the direction the control wheel is displaced.
2. Inflight, correct input will approximate the leveling of the
control wheel.
N. Initial Climb
1. When safely airborne, with a positive rate of climb on the VSI;
the PM will callout, “Positive Rate” and the PF will command
“Gear Up”.
2. When time and conditions permit, the PM will notify ATC.
3. When at or above 400 feet AFE, the PF will
a. fly the runway heading or
b. call for the appropriate ‘FD roll mode’ to comply with airport
specific Special Departure procedure (DP), if published.
O. Ground Track Consideration
1. If an engine failure occurs after turning from the runway
centerline, the crew must determine the safest lateral
flightpath.
2. As a guide, the closer the aircraft is to the runway, the more
likely the extended runway centerline is the safest lateral path.
a. As altitude increases and ATC/departure procedure turns
are accomplished, other lateral flightpaths may be the
safer option.
b. Where a Special Departure Procedure (DP) is published,
follow the DP as the safest lateral flightpath.

Volume 5
P. Acceleration and Clean-Up
1. At Engine Out acceleration altitude, the PF will
a. call for “Flight Level Change, VFS”,
b. accelerate, and retract the flaps on schedule.
c. The PM will select the proper flap setting when requested.
d. At the last flap retraction, the PF will respond “Flaps UP”
and the PM will retract the flaps.
e. As the flaps are retracted and the aircraft accelerates,
adjust the rudder pedal position to maintain the control
wheel level and apply trim to relieve rudder pedal pres-
sure.
Q. Max Continuous Thrust
At VFS the PM will select CON on MCDU and verify CON is dis-
played on the EICAS.
R. Follow-Up Actions
1. The PF will accomplish the memory items and then call for the
appropriate QRH procedure if immediate actions apply.
2. If no memory actions, the Captain will assign the PF, and then
the PM accomplishes the QRH procedures.
3. Climb to the assigned/safe altitude at the Flaps UP maneuver
speed.
4. Autopilot Usage (if desired) - Whenever possible, delay the
use of the autopilot until VFS.
5. Autothrottle Usage
a. The autothrottles must be disconnected in accordance
with the Engine Failure procedures in the QRH.
b. Once the affected engine is secured, the autothrottles may
be re-engaged with one engine inoperative.
6. Notification - The failure or shutdown of an engine inflight
must be reported to the appropriate ATC agency and the
controlling dispatcher. ATC and the controlling dispatcher
should be kept informed of the flight progress, work load
permitting. Immediately after landing, the Captain will:
a. Call the dispatcher (if not previously done).
b. Enter the discrepancy in the logbook.

Section 6 Rapid Depressurization / Emergency Descent

Volume 5
Section 6 Rapid Depressurization / Emergency Descent
To prevent making an unnecessary emergency descent, the air-
craft condition should be verified. If a rapidly rising cabin altitude
is brought under control, an emergency descent may not be
required.
This maneuver is designed to provide a smooth descent to a safe
altitude, in minimum time, with the lowest possible passenger dis-
comfort.
A. General
1. The autopilot should remain engaged and used to accomplish
the descent.
2. If structural damage is suspected, limit airspeed as much as
possible, and avoid high maneuvering loads. An acceptable
technique with structural damage is to maintain the initial
indicated airspeed throughout the descent rather than
accelerating to VMO.
3. When turbulent air is encountered or expected, reduce to
turbulent air penetration speed (270 KIAS/ .7 MACH).
4. Rapid Depressurization - When a sustained or high rate of
cabin pressurization loss occurs and cannot be controlled,
both crewmembers should don oxygen masks simultaneously
and establish crew communications.
B. Use of Flight Level Change (FLCH)
1. Use of autopilot with FLCH mode is the recommended
technique for rapid descents.
a. Reduces pilot workload and provides airspeed and altitude
protection.
b. Do not use vertical speed (V/S) mode.
2. Initiate an emergency descent:
a. Set a lower altitude in the altitude window (spin).
b. Engage FLCH (Push).
c. Retard thrust levers to idle (Pull).
d. Smoothly open the speedbrakes to the FULL position
(Pull).
e. Ensure altitude window is correctly set for level off.

Volume 5
f. During descent, the IAS/MACH speed window changes
from MACH to IAS at approximately 300KIAS.
g. Manually reset VMO as desired.
C. Level off
1. Level off at 10,000 feet or safe altitude, whichever is higher.
2. At 1,000 feet above the level-off altitude, the speedbrakes
should be closed and manually reset speed to an appropriate
airspeed below VMO (such as 250 KIAS) and verify SPDT is
annunciated on the FMA.
3. Safe Altitude is:
a. On an airway the Minimum Enroute Altitude (MEA), or
Minimum Obstacle Clearance Altitude (MOCA), whichever
is higher
b. Off an airway Minimum Off-Route Altitude (MORA), or
other altitude based on terrain clearance, navigation aid
reception, or
c. Within the terminal area, the highest Minimum Safe Alti-
tude (MSA)
4. After Level Off
a. Determine a new course of action based on weather,
oxygen, fuel remaining, and available airports
b. Obtain new ATC clearance
D. Manual Flight
1. Disconnect the autothrottles and retard thrust levers to Idle.
2. Smoothly OPEN the speedbrakes.
3. Disconnect the autopilot and lower the nose to initial descent
attitude (approximately 10 degrees nose -down).
4. Approaching level off altitude:
a. Adjust pitch to reduce rate of descent.
b. Close speedbrake lever approximately 1,000 feet above
level off altitude.
5. Add thrust to maintain desired speed.

Section 7 One Engine Inoperative (OEI) Approaches
A. General
1. Engine-out approach procedures are identical to those for a
two-engine approach, except Flaps 5 is always used for
approach and landing.
2. An ILS approach is recommended for any engine-out
approach and landing as it provides a stable framework and
familiar cues for configuration, deceleration, and descent.
3. Prior to commencing the approach, the Captain should
request a straight out missed approach from ATC along with
the assignment of a safe altitude. If a straight out missed
approach is not available due to obstacle clearance, then the
Captain should review the missed approach instructions from
ATC to ensure they are reasonable for an aircraft with one
engine inoperative.
Note: If compliance with the missed approach instructions or
the published missed approach procedure is in doubt,
notify ATC prior to commencing the approach.
4. During any abnormal or emergency situation, the approach
must be stabilized no later than 1000 feet above the airport or
TDZ elevation even under VMC conditions.
B. One Engine Inoperative (OEI) Visual Approach Procedure
1. The OEI visual approach procedure is the same as the two-
engine visual approach procedure. Plan a base leg a
minimum of 1.5 miles from the end of the runway. Ensure that
all applicable emergency and abnormal checklists are
completed prior to starting the approach. Remember to call
for the One Engine Inoperative Preliminary Landing Checklist
as well as the One Engine Inoperative Landing Checklist
when appropriate.
2. A good technique on a OEI visual approach is to have the ILS
for the landing runway tuned and identified to assist in
maintaining the appropriate glide path to the touchdown zone.

3. Autothrottles may be used, however, it is an acceptable
technique to manually control the operating engine by
disconnecting the autothrottles just prior to intercepting a
normal visual glide path.
4. The autopilot may be used, however, it is an acceptable
technique to manually control the aircraft by disconnecting the
autopilot just prior to intercepting a normal visual glide path.
5. Rudder trim should be zeroed out prior to landing. It is an
acceptable technique to zero out the rudder trim once
established on final, on a normal visual glide path, and above
1,000 feet AFE. It is not recommended that the rudder trim be
zeroed out close to the touchdown zone.

H. No Slat / Flap Approach Procedure
1. The key to a successful no slat / no flap approach and landing
is to accomplish the (FLAP OR SLAT) FAIL Checklist as soon
as possible and to configure the aircraft early.
a. Accomplish the entire Flap/Slat Fail checklist, including the
Flap/Slat Fail Preliminary Landing Checklist and the Flap/
Slat Fail Landing Checklist (with the landing gear down)
prior to turning onto the final approach course.
2. Remember the adage “Long Checklist, Long Runway,” and
request the longest runway available at the landing airport.
3. During an actual no slat / no flap approach, the pilot will be
expected to use everything available to the flight crew to
assist in a successful approach and landing such as using the
ILS for the landing runway.
Note: During training, the No Slat / Flap approach procedure
assumes VMC conditions with no Navaids available for
the pilot. In the simulator, the pilot is expected to
accomplish the procedure purely as a visual approach
with no aids such as VASIs or PAPIs.
4. As soon as the aircraft is on the final approach, immediately
slow to VAPP speed and intercept a normal visual glide path.
a. An acceptable technique is to have the PM select the
runway end in the FMS and have the distance to the end
of the runway available to the PF on the Progress display
on the MFD. If the aircraft is flying a normal visual pattern
at 1,500 feet AFE, begin a normal descent (approximately
600 - 700 fpm) when the aircraft is 5 nm from the end of the
runway.
5. Autothrottles and autopilot may be used, but this approach is
normally flown with the autopilot disconnected and the
autothrottles engaged. The autothrottles should be
disengaged approximately 200 feet AFE and the thrust levers
brought to idle approximately 50 feet AFE. The aircraft will
have a tendency to float and the pilot should fly the aircraft
onto the runway without hesitation or delay. Any attempt at a
normal flare will result in an extremely long landing.

1. The rejected landing maneuver is identical to the go around
maneuver.
2. Apply go around thrust and select go around flaps while
rotating to go around attitude.
3. Retract the landing gear after a positive rate of climb is
established and retract the flaps on schedule at a safe
altitude.
WARNING: After reverse thrust is initiated, a full stop landing
must be made. Factors dictating this are five seconds
are required for a reverser to stow in the forward
thrust position and the possibility exists a reverser
may not stow in the forward thrust position.

Section 9 Engine Failure on Final
A. General
1. If an engine failure occurs on final approach, there are certain
considerations and procedures that apply regardless of
whether the approach is a visual, nonprecision, or precision.
2. If an engine failure should occur on final approach with the
flaps in the landing position, adequate thrust is available to
maintain the approach profile using landing flaps, if desired.
3. If an engine failure should occur on final approach, it is usually
preferable to continue the approach using Flaps 5. If the
decision is made to reduce the flap setting, increase thrust to
maintain an airspeed of VREF FULL + 20 KIAS.
4. If a go around from a Flaps 5 configuration is required,
maintain the additional 20 knots and retract flaps to Flaps 2.
Continue with procedures as discussed in Chapter 4.

Volume 5
Section 10 Engine Out Go Around
A. Engine Out Go Around Maneuver
1. If a go around is required, press a TOGA switch to apply go
around thrust to the GA N1 limit.
2. Select Flaps 2 and rotate toward 8° pitch attitude and then
follow flight director commands. Control yaw with rudder and
trim. Some rudder pedal pressure may be required even with
full rudder trim.
3. Verify the GA pitch and roll modes are annunciated on the
FMA and ADI.
4. At a positive rate of climb, call for gear up. The flight director
commands a pitch attitude that will maintain the selected
speed ( VAC to VAC +15 knots). With an engine inoperative,
the resulting vertical speed will depend on temperature,
available thrust and aircraft gross weight. The GA roll mode
maintains a ground track.
5. Call for autopilot engagement and HDG SEL at or above
400 ft AFE, unless a Special Departure procedure (DP)
requires a turn prior to 400 ft AFE.
6. Advise ATC of your intentions. Either fly a straight-out missed
approach or, when published, fly the Special Departure
procedure (DP).
7. If a turning missed approach procedure is required,
accomplish the missed approach procedure through gear up
before initiating the turn. Delay further flap retraction until
initial maneuvering is complete and a safe altitude and
appropriate speed are attained.
B. Acceleration and Clean-Up
1. At 1000 ft. (or at an altitude listed in the Special Departure
Procedure (DP) if higher), the PF will
a. call for “Flight Level Change, VFS”,
b. accelerate, and
c. retract the flaps at green dot plus 10 kts.
2. The PM will select the proper flap setting when requested.

Section 14 Simultaneous Failure of All Three MAUs

Volume 5
Section 14 Simultaneous Failure of All Three MAUs
The following is the operational procedure to be used in the event
of a simultaneous failure of all three MAU's on the aircraft while in
flight.
The MAUs monitor the PRIMUS EPIC routed information full time
in order to detect any synchronization loss and, if it occurs, the
MAU's attempt to re-synchronize in order to protect the system.
During flight tests, it has been detected that a specific case of PRI-
MUS EPIC synchronization loss, which is not successfully resyn-
chronized within an acceptable period and leads to a
simultaneous failure of the three MAU's.
As a consequence of the failure of all three MAUs, all five Display
Units (DUs) will also fail. In addition, the Flight Control System
(FCS) reverts to direct mode and both the Autopilot and the Auto-
throttle will disengage. After this event, two different scenarios will
arise.
1. CASE 1: MAU's failure and auto restore.
2. CASE 2: MAU's failure and manual restore upon crew
action.
Note: In face of this temporary condition, Shuttle America will
not dispatch an aircraft with the Integrated Electronic
Standby System (IESS) inoperative even though that is
allowed by the MEL.
A. CASE 1 - MAU'S Failure With Automatic Restore
1. The DUs may not blank; however, all information is lost for
approximately 2 seconds and returns to normal after that.
2. Flight Control Systems (FCS) might revert to Direct Mode and
therefore the Auto Pilot will disengage
3. The Autothrottles will disengage
4. The ILS and the VMO flag on the IESS is invalid, but all other
information on the IESS is valid.
5. Several messages display on EICAS that might gradually
disappear following the recovery.

6. The following messages remain displayed during the rest of
the flight:
• AVNX MAU 1A FAIL
• AVNX MAU 1B FAIL
• AVNX MAU 2A FAIL
• AVNX MAU 2B FAIL
• AVNX MAU 3A FAIL
• AVNX MAU 3B FAIL
Note: The AVNX MAU FAIL messages are latched and can
only be reset on ground after accomplishing a power
down and power up. Even though these messages are
displayed during flight, the systems are working properly
and the flight crew should not accomplish the AVNX
MAU FAIL procedures in the QRH.
7. In this case proceed as follows:
• Use the IESS and Standby Compass guidance until the
airplane guidance is restored.
Note: If in final approach, discontinue the approach and climb
to a safe altitude prior to following the MAU's restoration
procedures.

A. Introduction
1. From time to time, Embraer publishes Operational Bulletins to
advise operators of revisions to Abnormal Procedures as
software and hardware changes occur.
2. Shuttle America will utilize this section of the POH to publish
excepts from the Embraer Operational Bulletins whenever
they effect our aircraft and our operation.
B. Steer Fail EICAS Message
1. The following information is derived from Embraer
Operational Bulletin 170-003/05, Rev 1, dated 09/12/05.
2. Besides real failures in the steering system, the STEER FAIL
EICAS message can also occur in the following specific
scenarios:
a. If the handwheel steering is inadvertently engaged by the
crew, when towing the airplane with hydraulic power acti-
vated.
b. If hydraulic power is introduced after the steering module
is engaged.
c. If the steering is engaged during a period of approximately
8 seconds after hydraulic system 2 is commanded OFF.
d. Other causes due to malfunctions related to the nose
wheel steering control module.
3. In order to restore the system in the cases described above,
accomplish the following when on the ground with engines not
running and the airplane stopped:
CAUTION: If the STEER FAIL message occurs during pushback,
the following procedure can only be accomplished by
the flight crew after the aircraft is towed back to the
gate, the engines are shut down, and the Parking
Checklist is complete.

SYSTEM RESTORE PROCEDURE
1. MAU 2 Pwr 1 CB (B-25).........................................PULL
The following EICAS messages will be displayed while the CB
remains pulled: AVNX MAU 2A FAIL, STEER FAIL, FMS 1 FAIL
and AFCS FAULT.

2. MAU 2 Pwr 1 CB (B-25).........................................PUSH


The messages described previously must not be displayed on
EICAS.
Note: The engines must not be running to avoid the "ENG
EXCEEDANCE" EICAS spurious message.

4. If the STEER FAIL message extinguishes, the flight crew may


continue the flight operation with no further maintenance
action prior to the next push back.

5. If the STEER FAIL message persists after cycling the CB,


maintenance is required before the flight.
C. Engine Vibration and ENG EXCEEDANCE EICAS Message
The ERJ-170 can experience spurious engine exceedance mes-
sages on the EICAS due to normal harmonics from the GE CF34-
8E5 engines. The purpose of this Section is to provide the flight
crew with guidance to recognize a spurious engine exceedance
message on the EICAS and provide procedures to proceed with
the flight.
1. ENG EXCEEDANCE EICAS message may be triggered due
to vibration in three cases:
a. Ice accumulation on the fan blades and spinner;
b. LP (Low Pressure) turbine high vibration during engine
start;
Note: In this case, due to the system logic, the ENG
EXCEEDANCE EICAS message will trigger 2 minutes
after ground idle RPM is reached.
c. N1 or N2 high vibration indication during any flight phase.

2. Engine Exceedance due to Ice Accumulation
a. Before engine start, in order to minimize the occurrence of
ENG EXCEEDANCE EICAS message due to ice accumu-
lation in the fan blades and spinner during ground start, the
following procedure is recommended:
1) Do not start the engine until it has been checked that
all ice deposits have been removed from the engine
inlet, inlet lip, fan, spinner and exhaust duct.
b. After engine start, if the PIC believes the probable cause
of ENG EXCEEDANCE EICAS message was ice accumu-
lation on the fan blades and spinner, proceed as follows:
1) Advance the thrust lever of the affected engine to
approximately 54% N1 for 30 seconds and monitor
LP vibration.
2) If the LP vibration indication does not return to the
normal operating range and/or any other engine
parameters are abnormal, shutdown the engine.
Make a log book entry and report the event to Mainte-
nance Control via Dispatch.
3) If the LP vibration indication returns to the normal
operating range and other engine parameters are
normal, proceed to step 4.
4) Shutdown the affected engine and access the
ENGINE MAINTENANCE page on the MFD
(SYSTEMS > ENGINE MAINT). On this page assure
that only the N1 HI VIB message is displayed in the
Engine Exceedances field. No other engine exceed-
ance related message shall be displayed together
with N1 HI VIB message.
5) If the cause of ENG EXCEEDANCE EICAS message
is not due to the engine N1 HI VIB, make a log book
entry and report the event to Maintenance Control via
Dispatch.
6) If the cause of ENG EXCEEDANCE EICAS message
was engine N1 HI VIB, restart the engine and proceed
with the flight.

7) In case of subsequent display of the ENG EXCEED-
ANCE EICAS message after the affected engine was
restarted, shutdown the engine. Make a log book
entry and report the event to Maintenance Control via
Dispatch.
3. Engine Exceedance due LP (Low Pressure) turbine high
vibration during engine start
a. In the event of ENG EXCEEDANCE EICAS message due
to LP high vibration during engine start, proceed as
follows:
1) Keep the engines running at idle for 1 minute and
monitor the LP vibration;
2) If the LP vibration indication does not return to the
normal operating range and/or any other engine
parameters are abnormal, shutdown the engine.
Make a log book entry and report the event to Mainte-
nance Control via Dispatch.
3) If the LP vibration indication returns to the normal
operating range and other engine parameters are
normal, proceed to step 4;
4) Shutdown the affected engine and access the
ENGINE MAINTENANCE page on the MFD
(SYSTEMS > ENGINE MAINT). On this page assure
that only the N1 HI VIB message is displayed in the
Engine Exceedances field. No other engine exceed-
ance related message shall be displayed together
with N1 HI VIB message;
5) If the cause of ENG EXCEEDANCE EICAS message
is not due to the engine N1 HI VIB, make a log book
entry and report the event to Maintenance Control via
Dispatch.
6) If the cause of ENG EXCEEDANCE EICAS message
was the engine N1 HI VIB, restart the engine and
proceed with the flight.
7) In case of subsequent display of the ENG EXCEED-
ANCE EICAS message after the affected engine was
restarted, shutdown the engine. Make a log book
entry and report the event to Maintenance Control via
Dispatch.

4. Engine Exceedance due to N1 or N2 high vibration indication
during any flight phase.
a. In the event of ENG EXCEEDANCE EICAS message on
the ground due to high vibration during any flight phase
proceed as follows:
1) After landing the airplane, shutdown the affected
engine and access the ENGINE MAINTENANCE
page on the MFD (SYSTEMS > ENGINE MAINT). On
this page assure that only the N1 HI VIB or N2 HI VIB
message is displayed in the Engine Exceedances
field. No other engine exceedance related message
shall be displayed together with N1 HI VIB or N2 HI
VIB message;
2) If the ENG EXCEEDANCE EICAS message was not
caused by N1 or N2 high vibration, make a log book
entry and report the event to Maintenance Control via
Dispatch.
3) If the cause of ENG EXCEEDANCE EICAS message
was the engine N1 or N2 high vibration and the dura-
tion of the event was less than two minutes, restart
the engine and proceed with the next flight;
4) If the cause of ENG EXCEEDANCE EICAS message
was the engine N1 or N2 high vibration but the dura-
tion of the event was more than two minutes, make a
log book entry and report the event to Maintenance
Control via Dispatch.
5) In case of subsequent display of the ENG EXCEED-
ANCE EICAS message after the affected engine was
restarted, shutdown the engine. Make a log book
entry and report the event to Maintenance Control via
Dispatch.
6) The ENG EXCEEDANCE EICAS message is being
triggered due to vibration but, in the conditions
described above, no maintenance action is required.
Transient high vibration indication without any other
abnormal engine parameters indication may be
considered normal according to the engine manufac-
turer.

D. SPDA FAIL EICAS Message
1. The ERJ-170 flight crews have recently seen SPDA
FAIL messages on the EICAS while in flight. The SPDA
FAIL message may be triggered due to:
a. Total failure of any SPDA module
b. Loss of communication between any SPDA and the
ASCB.
2. The airplane is equipped with two SPDAs and no matter
which one has failed, the advisory message SPDA FAIL
will be displayed on the EICAS. If SPDA 1 or SPDA 2
present any of the failures mentioned above, there will
be no impact on the airplane's operation and for that
reason, the SPDA FAIL advisory EICAS message is
classified as Crew Awareness.
3. Investigations have identified a new failure mode that
causes interruption of SPDA communication with ASCB
bus. When the ASCB communication is lost in only one
SPDA, crew will experience only the advisory CAS
message SPDA FAIL and there will be no impact to the
airplane's operation. In case the ASCB communication
is lost on both SPDAs, besides the SPDA FAIL
message, some other messages may be also displayed
on the EICAS, as follows:
• AMS CTRL FAIL (Caution)
• CRG FWD FIRE SYS FAIL (Caution)
• CRG AFT FIRE SYS FAIL (Caution)
4. Under that circumstance, the flight crew may not be able
to control pressurization, air conditioning and the wing
anti-icing system may not be available. The cargo fire
detection and extinguishing systems may not be
available either. Therefore, if the airplane experiences
the scenario mentioned above, follow the QRH
procedures for each message, starting with the AMS
CTRL FAIL procedure in order to avoid cabin altitude
going high. Upon extending the landing gear, the BRK
CONTROL FAULT advisory message may be displayed
on the EICAS as well.
5. Upon landing, the following messages may also be
displayed, and the associated QRH procedures must be
followed:
• ENG 1 REV TLA FAIL (Caution)
• ENG 2 REV TLA FAIL (Caution)
• ENG 1 NO DISPATCH (Caution)
• ENG 2 NO DISPATCH (Caution)

6. In case both engines are shutdown after loss of SPDA
1 and 2 as well as ASCB communication in flight, the
RAT will deploy regardless the presence of external
power supply. Therefore, make sure that RAT area is
free before shutting the engines down.

Volume 5

Chapter 7
Weather Operations

Section 1 Contaminated Runway Operations


A. General
1. Experience with operations conducted from wet or
contaminated runways has shown that standing water, slush,
snow or ice causes a deteriorating effect on takeoff and
landing performance.
2. Braking effectiveness is reduced due to low tire-to-runway
friction and is further reduced if the hydroplaning occurs.
3. Acceleration: During takeoff on a contaminated runway,
aircraft acceleration is reduced. Energy normally available for
acceleration is dissipated in compression or displacement of
the contaminant and the resulting impingement of the
contaminant onto the plane can aggravate this energy loss.
4. Stopping: Stopping distance depends, among other things,
on the depth of the runway contaminant. In some cases,
stopping distances will decrease as contamination depth
increases; however, the risk of hydroplaning is significantly
greater and longer distances normally result. In either
situation the aircraft could experience directional control
difficulties.
B. Hydroplaning
1. Hydroplaning can occur on runways contaminated with
standing water or slush and results when hydrodynamic lift
forces generated between the tires and the contaminant are
sufficient to lift the tires and aircraft clear of the runway
surface. In this condition, the tires are no longer capable of
providing directional control or effective braking.
2. Hydroplaning does not normally occur in water depths of less
than 1/5 inch (5.0mm), although under some conditions the
minimum depth may be as low as 1/10 inch (2.5 mm).
3. Once hydroplaning has commenced it can be sustained over
areas where the water depth is less than required to initiate
hydroplaning and to speeds lower than that required for
initiation.

Section 1 Contaminated Runway Operations

Volume 5
C. Crosswind Landings
1. A slippery runway and a crosswind are obviously a bad
combination.
2. In crosswind conditions, the crosswind crab angle should be
maintained for as long as possible until prior to touchdown.
Aim for the center line or slightly on the upwind side and avoid
touching down on the downwind side of the runway. This
technique will minimize the possibility of the aircraft
weathervaning into the wind after touchdown, and drifting
toward the downwind side of the runway.
D. Use of Reverse Thrust
1. The intensity and duration of reverse thrust used at low
speeds should be minimized.
2. Using reverse thrust at low speeds on snow and ice covered
runways can cause foreign object damage (FOD) to the
engines, possibly leading to low forward visibility due to
“whiteout”.
3. Excessive use of reverse thrust can increase the possibility of
ice buildup on the wing and empennage section, which could
cause considerable delays, especially during quick
turnarounds.
Note: Maximum reverse thrust may be used to a full stop
during emergencies.
4. During Crosswind Conditions: The use of reverse thrust
during crosswind conditions may aggravate the drift into the
wind, the reverse thrust side component will add to the
crosswind component, drifting the airplane toward the
downwind side of the runway at a faster rate than normal.
a. To correct the situation, it will be necessary to reduce the
reverse thrust to reverse idle and release the brakes.
b. In extreme conditions, it may even be necessary to move
the thrust levers out of reverse thrust and go to forward idle
thrust.
c. Use rudder steering and differential braking as required to
prevent over correcting past the runway center line.
d. When reestablished on the runway center line, reapply
steady brakes and reverse thrust as required to stop the
aircraft.

Volume 5
Section 2 Hot Weather Operations
A. General
1. Extremely hot environments present operational problems of
a different nature from those associated with cold weather
operations.
2. The main concerns focus primarily on
a. passenger and crew comfort and
b. the significant decrease in aircraft performance which high
ground temperatures can cause.
B. Taxi
1. Operation in areas of high ambient temperatures may cause
brake temperature limits to be exceeded. This condition would
lead to fusible plugs melting and deflation of the overheated
tires involved.
2. Runway and taxiway surface temperatures often exceed the
ambient temperature.
3. Consideration for brake cooling should always be taken into
account.
4. Excessive use and riding of brakes should be avoided.
5. Minimize braking when possible to allow ample time for
cooling between applications.
6. The recommended technique is to allow the aircraft to
accelerate, then brake to a very slow taxi speed and release
the brakes completely.
C. Takeoff
1. High ambient temperatures in combination with short runways
or high elevation airports could cause substantial penalties to
aircraft performance.
2. Special attention must be given to the restriction imposed on
the maximum takeoff operating weight.
3. These penalties should be taken into account early in the
preflight preparation.

D. Landing.
1. The landing phase of flight during high ambient temperature
conditions is not as demanding as with cold weather
operations.
2. It should be noted that runway conditions, particularly at the
touchdown area, could be slick due to the heavy deposits of
melted rubber.
E. Brake Cooling
1. For quick turnaround operations, bear in mind that the energy
absorbed by the brakes following each landing is cumulative.
2. This could prove detrimental and may cause considerable
delays at stops if overheating of the brakes and the possible
melting of the wheel fusible plug(s) results in deflating the
tire(s) involved.
3. Excessive braking should be avoided and the thrust reversers
should be used to their full advantage.

Section 3 Cold Weather Operations
A. General
1. This section contains aircraft specific procedures for the
ERJ-170.
2. A flight crewmember will perform a walkaround check prior to
each flight.
B. Ground Operations
1. The preparation and ground operation of the aircraft, after
sitting idle in very low temperatures, may present particular
problems.
2. The upper wing and tail surfaces must be free of frost, ice and
snow.
3. To avoid APU start malfunctions, the area in the vicinity of the
APU intake must be clear of heavy snow buildup.
4. Clear ice is most likely to form when the aircraft is operated in
an environment of high humidity and the upper surfaces of the
wing are in contact with the cold fuel in the wing tanks.
5. The formation of clear ice on the wing upper surfaces is very
difficult to detect visually, especially if the wing is wet. When
operating in conditions that could lead to the formation of clear
icing, the pilot must conduct a tactile examination of the wing
upper surfaces to confirm that they are free of contamination.
Note: The Company will always adhere to the ‘clean aircraft
concept’ during severe or adverse weather
operations.
C. ADSP Warm-Up
On the first flight of the day after overnight parking at temperatures
below -18°C (0°F), accomplish the following procedure after AC
Power is established on the aircraft.
1. ADSP Heater Switch .............................................. ON
2. FBW PBIT Test.......................................... Accomplish
- Verify the clock on the Flight Control Synoptic page
resets to 20 hours after the FBW PBIT Test is

leave the aircraft powered for a minimum of 3 minutes
with the ADSP Heater Switch on. After a minimum of
3 minutes and after any accumulated ice in the Smart
Probes has had a chance to melt, power down the
aircraft, wait one minute, and power the aircraft back
up using the procedures found in Chapter 4, Section 3
of the POH. The FBW PBIT Test should now run
properly.
3. ADSP Heater Switch .............................................OFF
D. Hydraulic Systems Warm-Up
On the first flight of the day after overnight parking at temperatures
below -18°C, accomplish the following procedure prior to starting
the engines.
1. HYDRAULIC SYS 1,2, 3A & 3B ELEC PUMPS ..... ON
2. Steering ......................................................... Engaged
- Keep the nosewheel steering engaged while the
electric hydraulic pumps are running.
- After reservoir temperatures are higher than -10°C
for systems 1, 2 and 3:
3. HYDRAULIC SYS 2 PUMP.....................................OFF
4. PTU ........................................................................ ON
After 30 seconds
5. PTU .......................................................................OFF
6. HYDRAULIC SYS 2 PUMP .................................... ON
7. Flight Controls ................................................Checked
- Check control wheel, control column and rudder
pedals for freedom of movement and full travel. Control
forces can be increased at low temperatures.
- Operate all trim systems, including back up pitch trim
system, checking for freedom of movement and full
travel. If any control is suspected of restricted
movement or jamming, report to maintenance
personnel.

E. Engine Start
1. Before starting the engines, the pilot should assess the
surface conditions of the ramp. Special consideration should
be given to problems that could be encountered during the
engine start and pushback.
CAUTION: The freedom of N1 fan to rotate must be confirmed
before engine start. Water may freeze in the area of the
lower intake jamming the adjacent fan blades. Under no
circumstance is it permissible to use deicing or deicing/
anti-icing fluid for removal of the contaminant.
2. Oil:During cold weather starts, initial oil pressure response
may be slow. As the engine accelerates, the oil pressure may
rapidly increase then exceed the normal range. The high oil
pressure should progressively reduce to normal as the engine
achieves normal operating temperatures. Refer to the
limitations section for oil pressure limitations.
CAUTION: If oil pressure is not indicated by the time idle rpm is
achieved, conduct an immediate shutdown of the
engine.
3. IDGs: Expect the generators to be slow in producing steady
power due to cold oil in the IDGs. Five (5) minutes may be
required for the IDGs to stabilize sufficiently.
F. Taxi
1. Always taxi at a manageable speed.
2. Maintain a greater distance than normal between aircraft
especially when slush, standing water, ice or snow is present
on the taxi surfaces.
3. Be aware of other aircraft’s jet blast, obscured runways and
taxi/ramp markings, and snowbanks.
4. Brake Usage: Application of brakes should be kept to a
minimum during turns. Anticipate increased stopping
distances and be aware of the additional hazard of operating
on slippery surfaces with crosswind conditions.
5. Reverse Thrust: Reverse thrust should be used with extreme
caution and only when necessary to prevent nosewheel
skidding or departure from the intended taxi path.

G. Run-Ups
1. When moderate to severe icing conditions are present during
prolonged2 ground operation, periodic engine run-ups to as
high a thrust setting (54% N1 is recommended) as practical
are recommended.
a. This run-up should be done for a minimum of thirty (30)
seconds at thirty (30) minute intervals prior to takeoff. This
action is effective in dissipating fan blade icing.
2. Prior to positioning for takeoff, ensure that the aircraft is
aerodynamically clean.
H. Takeoff
The use of reduced thrust settings is prohibited if the runway is
contaminated.
1. Procedures
a. Apply brakes and advance the thrust levers.
b. If the aircraft starts to creep or slide during engine power
check, release the brakes and begin the takeoff roll.
c. Anticipate a lag in nosewheel steering response and
possible nosewheel skidding.
d. Apply corrections as necessary. Directional control can be
improved by employing a light but firm forward pressure on
the control column to increase nosewheel steering effec-
tiveness.
e. Use aerodynamic control as soon as it becomes available.
1) Ailerons can increase directional control in the 60 to
100 knot range.
2) Avoid large or rapid rudder input.

I. Reject
If the decision is made to reject the takeoff, maximum deceleration
is achieved by using maximum reverse thrust and maximum brak-
ing.
1. During the rejected takeoff, anticipate the possibility of
skidding.
2. Keep the nosewheel centered and maintain directional control
with the rudder and small inputs of the nosewheel steering.
3. If a skid develops, reduce reverse thrust to idle reverse and if
necessary, return the engines to idle forward thrust to return
to the center line. regain the center line with nosewheel
steering, rudder and/or differential braking.
4. Directional control problems on slick runways could also be
encountered due to excessive cycling of the anti-skid system.
To correct the condition, reduce brake pressure.
J. In Flight
1. Slats/Flaps should not be extended in icing conditions except
when required for takeoff, approach and landing.
2. If Slats/Flaps are deployed in icing conditions for extended
periods or in severe icing, light to moderate buffet may be
encountered. No handling difficulties will result.
WARNING: Small accumulations of ice on the wing leading edge
can change the stall speed and stall characteristics or
warning margin provided by the stall protection
system. Do not reduce speed below VREF or land with
visible ice on the wing except under failure
conditions.
K. Landing
1. For landing on a contaminated runway, lower the nosewheel
immediately and maintain light forward control column
pressure.
2. Reverse Thrust: Thrust reversers are most effective at high
speed. At low speed minimize the intensity and duration of
reverse thrust. However in an emergency situation, maximum
reverse thrust may be used to a complete stop.

3. Braking: Do not pump the brakes; pumping the brakes will
only diminish braking effectiveness. Apply brakes normally
with steadily increasing pressure.
4. Skidding and Hydroplaning: Anticipate skidding and
hydroplaning and be prepared to take the following necessary
actions:
a. If a skid develops, reduce reverse thrust to idle reverse
and if necessary, return the engines to idle forward thrust
to return to the center line. Regain the center line with
nosewheel steering, rudder and/or differential braking.
b. Directional control problems on slick runways could also
be encountered due to excessive cycling of the anti-skid
system. To correct the condition, reduce brake pressure.
L. After Landing
1. Do not retract the flaps past position 3 if ice accumulation on
the flaps is suspected. This will prevent possible damage to
the structure and mechanism.
2. Anticipate that ramps can be iced over and the use of reverse
thrust for stopping the aircraft may be necessary.

INTENSITY ICE ACCUMULATION


TRACE Ice becomes perceptible. Rate of accumulation
slightly greater than rate sublimation. It is not
hazardous even though deicing/anti-icing equip-
ment is not utilized, unless encountered for an
extended period of time (over one hour).
LIGHT The rate of accumulation may create a problem
if flight is prolonged in this environment (over
one hour). Occasional use of deicing/anti-icing
equipment removes/prevents accumulation. It
does not present a problem if the de-icing/anti-
icing equipment is used.
MODERATE The rate of accumulation is such that even short
encounters become potentially hazardous and
use of deicing/anti-icing equipment or diversion
from the area is necessary.
SEVERE The rate of accumulation is such that deicing/
anti-icing equipment fails to reduce or control the
hazard. Immediate diversion from the area is
necessary.

N. FUEL FEED (1 or 2) FAULT
1. Background.
During Cold Weather Operations with OAT at 0o C or below,
it is possible to experience a FUEL FEED (1 or 2) FAULT
EICAS message while on the ground or in the air. The
reasons this message may appear more prevalent at colder
temperatures is as follows:
a. As the air is denser, FADEC will set a lower N2 than in a
hotter day in order to provide the same amount of thrust.
b. With the FADEC reducing N2 (possibly down to 59%),
system logic starts the FUEL AC PUMP at 60% N2.
c. If N2 speed increases above 60%, the system logic shuts
off the AC PUMP.
d. This switching from AC PUMP back to engine-feed ejector
pump may create a fuel pressure transient which in turn,
may cause the FUEL FEED (1 or 2) FAULT EICAS
message to annunciate.
Note: PRIMUS EPIC SOFTWARE Load 15.3 will not
address this problem.

2. Procedure:
This procedure incorporates Embraer's guidance and will only
be utilized when the OAT is at 0oC or below. When operating
in cold weather on the ground, the Captain will select the
FUEL AC PUMPs 1 and 2 to:
• ON after engine start
• AUTO just prior to takeoff while maintaining a minimum
65% N2
• ON after landing and clear of the runway
• AUTO after engine shutdown

CAUTION: For aircraft takeoff certification, the AC FUEL


PUMPs must be set to AUTO prior to takeoff.

No checklist changes are required.

A. Clear Air Turbulence (CAT)
1. Initiate flight level or course change when encountering
jetstream turbulence with direct headwinds or tailwinds.
Jetstream turbulence encountered in a crosswind is normally
in a narrow band across the wind. When crossing the
jetstream, climb with rising temperature and descend with a
dropping temperature, if necessary.
B. Mountain Wave Turbulence
1. If the ratio of the wind speed 6,000 feet above the ridge to the
winds at ridge-top level is 1.6 or less, the probability of
moderate or greater turbulence increases. This turbulence
can exist at all altitudes. If the ratio of the wind speed 6,000
feet above the ridge to the wind at ridge-top level is greater
than 2, turbulence is likely to be confined to low altitudes.
2. Example:
If the wind speed at 18,000 feet is 50 knots and the wind
speed at 12,000 feet is 35 knots, the ratio is 1.4. Moderate or
greater turbulence may exist up to high altitudes.
C. Turbulence and Thunderstorms
Expect moderate or greater turbulence within thunderstorms, or in
the vincinity of thunderstorm tops, wakes, downbursts, and gust
fronts.
D. Severe or Extreme Turbulence Encounter
Do not plan flight into severe/extreme turbulence. If encountered,
make a maintenance logbook write up to ensure a special aircraft
structural inspection is accomplished.
E. Windshear
Avoid windshear activity. Pilots will use all available resources to
keep abreast of forecast or reported windshear conditions for
departure, arrival, and enroute flight segments.
WARNING: Do not takeoff, land, or make an approach when there
is a "Microburst Alert" for the takeoff/landing runway,
or when it is not possible to maintain at least 3nm
horizontal separation from severe weather when the
aircraft is < 1,000 feet AGL.

F. Terminal Weather Information for Pilots (TWIP)
1. TWIP is generated using weather data from Terminal Doppler
Weather Radar (TDWR) or the Integrated Terminal Weather
System (ITWS).
2. TWIP provides the following information via an ACARS uplink
when an ACARS weather request is sent for a designated
airport:
a. Descriptions of microburst alerts, - windshear alerts,
b. Significant precipitation,
c. Convective activity within 30 NM of the terminal area, and
d. Expected weather impacting airport operations.
3. When available at a designated airport, "TWIP" is annotated
on the briefing strip on the 10-9 Airport Diagram.
G. Definitions
1. Low Level Windshear Alert System (LLWAS). This system
consists of anemometer sensors geographically spaced
around the airport. This spacing may not allow for detection of
all microburst or windshear events in the airport area. The
system is prone to false alarms because of station sheltering,
stationary thermals, and gust winds.
2. Microburst. A small convective downburst where the sum of
the peak headwind and tailwind component change is 30
knots or greater. Microbursts have a hazard area of 2.5 miles
or less in diameter and a duration of 10-15 minutes. Can
produce extremely hazardous windshears.
3. Severe Windshear. Rapid changes in wind direction or speed
which result in airspeed changes > 15 knots or vertical velocity
changes > 500 fpm.

H. ATC Terminology.
1. Windshear/Microburst Advisories in Effect. This ATIS
message indicates windshear or microburst alerts have
occurred. The broadcast will occur for 20 minutes after the
event.
2. Non-Runway Specific Windshear Alert. Tower will advise
pilots of this alert generated by the Low Level Windshear Alert
System. This system does not provide microburst alerts or
estimated windspeed gain/loss information.
a. Example: "Windshear alert, centerfield wind 280° at 25
knots, south boundary wind 170° at 20 knots."
3. Multiple Windshear Alert. Two or more geographical
quadrants are in alarm. ATC will give centerfield wind plus the
most appropriate boundary wind to aircraft operations.
4. Runway Specific Windshear/Microburst Alert. Tower will
advise pilots of this alert generated by Enhanced LLWAS and/
or Terminal Doppler Weather Radars (TDWR). This alert has
an 85% or better accuracy and is issued for a specific runway
threshold or departure area to include the total windspeed
gain/loss.
a. Examples:
1) Windspeed Gain (Gust Front): "Runway 17 arrival,
windshear alert, 20 knot gain, 3 mile final."
2) Windspeed Loss (Windshear/Microburst): "Runway
17 departure, windshear alert, 20 knot loss, 2 mile
departure."
5. Multiple Windshear/Microburst Alert. Multiple alerts are
impacting a specific runway. The alert type and windspeed
loss for the most intense event is given along with the location
where the first event will be encountered.
6. Possible Windshear Outside the Network. An alert
occurring on the edge of a detection system, or if the system
is unable to distinguish between windshear and microbursts a
"Possible Windshear Outside the Network" message is
generated.

1. Flight Planning. Dispatchers select routes and altitudes to
avoid areas of excessive ozone concentrations for aircraft not
equipped with ozone filters.
2. Symptoms. Symptoms of high ozone levels in the cabin
include an acrid taste or smell. Individual responses to ozone
exposure may vary widely and usually appear in people most
physically active during the flight. Moderate constrictions of
the chest with some discomfort on deep inhalation, or
coughing on deep inhalation, as well as headache and eye
irritation are other symptoms of ozone exposure.

Section 5 Operation in Turbulence

Volume 5
Section 5 Operation in Turbulence
In severe turbulence, two major concerns arise, excessive struc-
tural loads on the aircraft and maintaining positive control of the
aircraft.
Operating the aircraft at or below the turbulent airspeed should
provide adequate protection from excessive structural loads due
to exposure to vertical gusts. However, there is some evidence
that most aircraft structural failures in flight result from a combina-
tion of the loads imposed by the recovery maneuver as well as the
gusts themselves. More realistic benefits can perhaps result from
a discussion of these factors in combination.
A. Airspeeds
Airspeeds for turbulence are:
• 10,000 ft and below: ............ 250 KIAS.
• Above 10,000 ft.: ................... 270 KIAS or
.70M whichever is lower.
While flight at speeds significantly below the turbulent airspeed
may provide a more comfortable ride in light to moderate turbu-
lence, these low speeds may be undesirable when encountering
severe turbulence for the following reasons.
First, the aircraft is closer to the critical angle of attack and since
severe turbulence can cause substantial variance to the angle of
attack there is a greater chance of encountering buffeting and the
accompanying high drag. This will cause altitude loss and tempt
the pilot to make undesirable power and pitch changes.
Secondly, trim changes due to power changes at low speed are
greater than at high speed and further compound the difficulty of
maintaining adequate control.
B. Altitude
Flight through severe turbulence should be avoided, if possible.
When flying at FL 200 or higher, it is not advisable to avoid a tur-
bulent area by climbing over it, unless it can be overflown well in
the clear. If necessary, reduce altitude to increase buffet margin.

REV. 4, 15 FEB 2008 7-19


ERJ-170 Pilot Operating Handbook
Chapter 7 Weather Operations
Section 5 Operation in Turbulence

Volume 5
Due to the high velocity vertical gusts associated with turbulence,
large variations of altitude are extremely likely to occur. The prime
consideration is to avoid increasing the load on the aircraft by
applying excessive elevator input in addition to the load applied by
the gust. As with the other parameters discussed, minor devia-
tions should be tolerated and corrections for large deviations
should be only that required to reverse the trend.
C. Attitude
Flying under extremely turbulent conditions requires techniques
that may be contrary to a pilot's natural reactions. Large, rapid
aileron control inputs are permissible to hold the wings level, but
in extreme turbulence, pitch attitude must be controlled with small,
smooth inputs to avoid excessive stress to the aircraft. The pilot
should rely on the natural stability of the aircraft and not be overly
concerned with minor excursions. Pitch attitude should be con-
trolled solely with elevator control and not with trim. The pilot will
not be able to effectively counter each gust with trim and will prob-
ably make aircraft control more difficult than by leaving the aircraft
trimmed at the original speed. Once the aircraft is established at
the entry speed, power changes are generally undesirable.
D. Aircraft Systems
1. Autopilot
If turbulence is light to moderate it is best to use the autopilot.
Monitor the autopilot’s operation of the pitch trim. If
turbulence is greater than moderate, the autopilot should not
be used.
2. Flaps
Flap extension in an area of known turbulence should be
delayed as long as possible because the aircraft can
withstand higher gust loads in the clean configuration.
E. Secure the Aircraft
Check cockpit equipment is secured and shoulder harnesses fas-
tened. Advise F/A prior to entering turbulent conditions if possible
or shortly after entering areas of turbulence. Turn on the FASTEN
SEATBELT sign and make a P.A. announcement advising pas-
sengers of the turbulence.

F. Definitions of Turbulence Intensity

INTENSITY AIRCRAFT REACTION


LIGHT Turbulence that momentarily causes slight,
erratic changes in altitude and/or attitude (pitch,
roll, yaw). Report as Light Turbulence.
Turbulence that causes slight, rapid, and some-
what rhythmic bumpiness without appreciable
changes in altitude or attitude. Report as Light
Chop.
MODERATE Turbulence that is similar to Light Turbulence but
of greater intensity. Changes in altitude and/or
attitude occur, but the aircraft remains in positive
control at all times. It usually causes variations
in indicated airspeed. Report as Moderate Tur-
bulence.
Turbulence that is similar to Light Chop but of
greater intensity. It causes rapid bumps or jolts
without appreciable changes in altitude or atti-
tude. Report as Moderate Chop.
SEVERE Turbulence that causes large, abrupt changes in
altitude and/or attitude. It usually causes large
severe variations in indicated airspeed. Aircraft
may be momentarily out of control. Report as
Severe Turbulence.
EXTREME Turbulence in which the aircraft is violently
tossed about and is practically impossible to
control. Extreme may cause structural dam-
age. Report as Extreme Turbulence.

Note: Whenever a pilot encounters a meteorological condition


in flight, the knowledge of which he considers essential
to the safety of other flights, the PIC shall notify an
appropriate ground station (ATC or Dispatch) as soon as
practical.
Note: Severe or extreme turbulence encountered when
enroute requires a logbook discrepancy entry and the
aircraft must be inspected by maintenance before it’s
next takeoff.

A. General.
1. The ERJ-170 has a windshear escape guidance mode
provided by the FD. This recovery guidance occurs only
during the windshear warning.
2. The primary recovery technique objective is to keep the
aircraft flying as long as possible while attempting to exit the
shear. A wide variety of techniques were considered to
establish the one best meeting this objective. The best results
were achieved by pitching toward an initial target attitude
while using necessary thrust. Several factors were considered
in developing this technique.
3. Studies show windshear encounters occur infrequently and
that only a few seconds are available to initiate a successful
recovery. Additionally, during high stress situations, pilot
instrument scan typically becomes very limited, i.e., in
extreme cases, to only one instrument. Lastly, recovery skills
will not be exercised on a day-to-day basis. These factors
dictate that the recovery technique must not only be effective,
but simple, easily recalled, and have general applicability.
4. Extensive analysis and pilot evaluations were conducted.
Although a range of recovery attitudes provide good recovery
capability for a wide variety of windshears, 15° is chosen as
the initial target pitch attitude for both takeoff and approach.
Additional advantages of 15° initial target pitch attitude are
that it is easily recalled in emergency situations and it is
prominently displayed on the attitude director indicator.

E. Windshear Escape Guidance Mode
1. The Windshear Escape Guidance Mode provides a pitch
command to recover from a windshear to minimize altitude
and airspeed loss during a windshear encounter.
2. This mode is a flight director mode and it is engaged in the
following conditions:
a. Manually: pressing the Go Around Button while a winds-
hear condition is detected.
b. Automatically: operating in go-around or takeoff mode and
a windshear condition is detected.
c. Automatically when thrust levers position is above 78° and
a warning windshear condition is detected.
3. The other flight director modes are canceled and the following
modes are inhibited while in a caution or warning windshear
condition:
a. Altitude pre-select, go-around and takeoff modes are
canceled while in a caution or warning windshear condi-
tion. No lateral mode is inhibited while in windshear mode.
4. The Windshear Escape Guidance Mode incorporates three
control logics:
a. Gamma Submode - The aircraft has a positive flight path
angle. This sub-mode allows the airspeed to build up
during an increasing performance windshear in anticipa-
tion of a decreasing performance windshear.
b. Alpha Submode - The aircraft maintains airspeed when
approaching stall conditions. The windshear protection
control logic keeps the aircraft angle of attack below the
stick shaker firing angle.
c. Speed Target Submode - The aircraft manages the
airspeed to prevent overspeed. Pitch up is commanded to
maintain the calculated airspeed.
CAUTION: Windshear conditions will not be detected if either
EGPWS or the Radar Altimeter is unavailable.
F. Approach
1. For approach, plan on using Landing Flaps 5.

AGL). The hazard increases with proximity to the
convective weather. Weather assessment should be
continuous.
CAUTION: Currently no quantitative means exist for determining
the presence or intensity of microburst windshear.
Crewmembers are urged to exercise caution when
determining a course of action.

Section 7 Thunderstorms
A. Use of Weather Radar
Weather radar should normally be operated in the auto gain mode.
Weather displays are available on the MFD and the PFD. The
radar employs automatic antenna stabilization to maintain a beam
scan relative to the earth's horizon.
For takeoff and landing, an initial tilt adjustment of 2-3 degrees up
will provide target detection with a minimum of ground clutter.

WARNING: Do not test the radar around personnel as it does


radiate energy during the test.

B. Lightning Strike
1. Even thought the aircraft is adequately protected against
lightning strikes effects, operating procedures should be
established in an attempt to avoid such phenomenon.
2. Avoid penetration of thunderstorms. In-flight lightning
avoidance is closely associated with thunderstorm avoidance.
Maintain visual contact with thunderstorms during the daytime
and lightning at night.
3. Check the radar for precipitation, review all available types of
weather information, examine other pilot reports and follow
ATC instructions.
4. Even with a good weather report received and understood,
pay close attention to those storms that develop rapidly along
the route in a given area and that cannot be predicted. While
enroute, constantly update the previous weather briefing
through radio contact and airborne equipment for actual storm
avoidance.
5. Remember that radar detects only liquid droplets, not the
cloud itself. Only rain suspended in the cloud will produce a
radar echo, which may lead to occasional encounters with hail
and lightning.
6. Circumnavigate the detected thundercloud or area, if possible
by more than 25 miles when traffic conditions permit.

Volume 5
7. Be aware that lightning can strike an aircraft miles away from
the extreme side of a developed thunderstorm. Reports of
aircraft receiving strikes in clear air at 25 miles or more from
the nearest storm are common.
8. The following paragraphs summarize the conditions in which
strikes are most common:
a. Meteorological conditions: incident reports show that an
aircraft must be within or beneath a cloud to receive a
strike, or in or near regions of precipitation. Incident reports
show that in over 80% of the strikes, the aircraft was within
a cloud and experiencing some precipitation and turbu-
lence. But other strikes may occur in a cloud where there
is no precipitation nearby, in clear air reasonably distant
from a thundercloud, during snowstorms and in clouds
over erupting volcanoes. Flight through or in the vicinity of
cold front, warm front, stationary front, unstable air or
squall line are indicators of imminent lightning strikes. Inci-
dent reports also show that lightning strikes occur most
commonly under light or heavy turbulence conditions.
b. Flight regime: Takeoff, climb, level flight, descent or
approach.
c. Altitude: strikes are more common between 5000 and
15000 ft, but may occur at virtually all flight altitudes. Light-
ning strike incidents at lower altitudes are far more
frequent since at higher altitudes aircraft can divert around
thunderclouds with greater ease.
d. Outside air temperature: most strike incidents have
occurred when the aircraft is flying in temperatures near or
at freezing level. Strikes may also occur at temperatures
as high as 25°C, or as low as -45°C.
e. Metal aircraft produce a phenomenon called Faraday
Cage effect, which distributes electrical charges along the
airframe in such a manner that occupants and internal
components will not receive the high current that causes
injury and damage. There seems to be no record of any
case of crew incapacitation due to lightning, although flash
blindness can occur for a few seconds.

Volume 5
9. Direct effects which result from a lightning strike may be:
a. Pit marks are often seen along the fuselage or holes in the
trailing edge of wing and tail tips.
b. Melting of rivets.
c. Puncturing of nonmetallic structures.
d. Puncturing and de-lamination of composites.
e. Slight deformation of metal skins and structure.
f. Welding or roughening of moveable hinges and bearings.
g. Damage to other parts that may conduct lightning current
other than the airframe, such as bonding or diverted straps
and pitot tubes.
10. Effects caused by the flash-induced electromagnetic field and
the increase of the voltage due to the current at the aircraft
structure are defined as indirect effects and may be:
a. Interruption of instruments and navigation equipment.
b. Damage to electronic and electrical equipment.
c. Popping of circuit breakers.
d. Loss of electrical power.
e. Engine flame-out.

11. In Flight Operations
a. If Lightning Strike Is Suspected To Occur
An imminent lightning strike event may be indicated to
flight crews by the buildup of static discharge which causes
interference on ADF indicators or noise in communication
receivers. Another indication is St. Elmo’s Fire, which is
visible at night as small electrical discharges running
across the windshields and sparking on the wings.
Consider wearing sunglasses to protect your eyes from the
flash or have one pilot keep eyes downward.
1) All Cockpit Lights..........ON/FULL BRIGHTNESS

b. If The Aircraft Has Been Hit By Lightning


If situation is under control after a lightning strike, apply the
following procedure to ascertain whether the flight may
proceed.
1) Circuit Breakers ....................................... CHECK

2) Compass/Heading System ...................... CHECK


- Check magnetic compass and heading system for
normal indication.
3) Engine Indication ..................................... CHECK
- Check engine for normal indication and apply
associated procedure if any failure arises after strike
attachment.
- In case of engine shutdown, the flight crew shall
analyze the circumstances of the event and
consider an engine airstart.
4) Pressurization .......................................... CHECK
- Check pressurization system for normal indication.

5) Flight Controls.......................................... CHECK


- Check all flight controls for freedom of movement.
Verify that slats/flaps and speed brakes are working
properly (refer to slats/flaps and speed brakes
operating limits).

6) Fuel System ..............................................CHECK
- Check fuel system for normal operation. Monitor fuel
remaining and fuel consumption to ascertain that no
fuel leak exists.

7) Altitude ................................................. MAINTAIN


- Never climb the aircraft after a lightning strike,
unless required by performance (climb or obstacle
clearance) or operation contingencies. If any
structural damage is suspected, apply
EMERGENCY DESCENT procedure.

8) All Other Aircraft Systems.......................CHECK


- Check all aircraft instrument following a panel scan
sequence to ascertain that flight safety prevails.
- Apply the associated emergency/abnormal
procedure if any failure arises after lightning strike.
Consider discontinuing the flight and land at the
nearest suitable airport if any unsafe condition is
revealed after checking systems operation.

12. On Ground Operations
Approaching and landing an aircraft during a thunderstorm is
strongly not recommended. The human body may provide the
grounding that is otherwise lacking. If you are in the cockpit,
do not attempt to communicate with ground through a wire
handset, and stay inside the aircraft until the storm has
passed.
a. If The Aircraft Has Been Hit By Lightning, perform an
External safety inspection:
- Check for holes, punctures, discoloration and de-
lamination throughout the whole airframe.
- Verify for loose, melted or missing rivets.
- Check that all static dischargers are in place or in
accordance with the CDL.
- Verify the integrity of the lights installed on tail, wing,
fuselage and
- landing gear.
- Verify all antennas, ice detectors, smart probes, TAT
probes and pressurization static ports for condition.
b. Write up the lightning strike in the Flight/Maintenance Log
and report to maintenance personnel.
c. Make sure that the necessary maintenance is performed
before flying the aircraft again.
d. Fill out a LIGHTNING STRIKE REPORT form.

Section 8 Volcanic Ash

Volume 5
Section 8 Volcanic Ash
A. General
1. Flight in areas of known volcanic activity must be avoided.
This is particularly important during hours of darkness or
daytime instrument meteorological conditions when volcanic
dust may not be visible.
2. When a flight is planned into an area with a known potential
for volcanic activity, it is recommended that all NOTAMs and
air traffic control directives be reviewed for current status of
volcanic activity. If volcanic activity is reported, the planned
flight should remain well clear of the area and, if possible, stay
on the upwind side of the volcanic dust.
3. The aircraft weather radar is not capable of detecting volcanic
ash/dust clouds and is therefore not reliable under these
circumstances.
4. The presence of volcanic ash/dust may be indicated by:
a. Smoke or dust appearing inside the aircraft;
b. An acrid odor similar to electrical smoke;
c. Engine malfunctions such as power loss, engine stalls,
increasing ITT, fluctuating engine RPM, etc.
d. At night, Saint Elmo's fire/static discharges may be
observed around the windshield or windows.
5. Flight into volcanic ash/dust clouds can result in the
degradation of aircraft and engine performance. The adverse
effects caused by volcanic ash/dust encounters may be:
a. Rapid erosion and damage to the internal engine compo-
nents;
b. Ash/dust build-up and blockage of the guide vanes and
cooling holes, which may cause surge, loss of thrust and/
or high ITT;
c. Ash/dust blockage of the pitot system, resulting in unreli-
able airspeed indications;
d. The abrasive properties of volcanic material may cause
serious damage to the engines, wing and tail leading edge
surfaces, windshields, landing lights, etc.
e. Windshield and windows may become opaque, reducing
the visibility.

Chapter 7 Weather Operations
Section 8 Volcanic Ash

Volume 5
B. On Ground Operations
The following recommendations apply to starting and operating
engines on airports where volcanic ash has fallen and ground con-
tamination is present:
1. During preflight, check that the engine inlet and exhaust areas
have been cleared of volcanic ash;
2. Check that all volcanic ash has been cleaned away from the
area within 14 ft of the engine inlets;
3. Prior to starting, dry motor the engine for one minute in order
to blow out any ash that may have entered the engine bypass
duct area;
4. Avoid static engine operation above idle;
5. Use APU for engine starting only, not for air conditioning;
6. Use minimum required thrust for breakaway and taxi;
7. Be aware of loose ash being blown by the exhaust wake of
other aircraft. Maintain adequate ground separation;
8. Use a rolling takeoff technique. Avoid setting high thrust at low
airspeeds;
9. After landing at an airport contaminated with volcanic ash,
minimize the use of reverse thrust to prevent any recirculation
ingestion.

REV. 4, 15 FEB 2008 7-42


ERJ-170 Pilot Operating Handbook
Chapter 7 Weather Operations
Section 8 Volcanic Ash

Volume 5
C. In Flight Operations
1. Flight operations in volcanic ash are extremely hazardous and
must be avoided. However, volcanic ash/dust clouds may
sometimes extend for hundreds of miles, reaching altitudes
above 60,000 ft and an encounter may be unavoidable.
2. In case of an inadvertent encounter, proceed according to the
Abnormal Procedures “Volcanic Ash Encounter” in the QRH.
3. If it becomes necessary to shutdown an engine to prevent
exceeding ITT limits, restart the engine once it has cooled
down. If the engine fails to start, repeated attempts should be
made immediately.

Note: A successful start may not be possible until the


aircraft is clear of the volcanic ash/dust, and the
airspeed and altitude is within the airstart envelope.
Take note that engines can be very slow to
accelerate to idle at high altitudes and this could be
interpreted as a failure to start or as an engine
malfunction.

4. After exiting the area of volcanic ash/dust cloud and the


engine(s) restarted, restore systems to normal operation.
Inform ATC of the encounter.

Volume 5
Section 2 Steep Turns
A. Objective
1. The objective of the steep turn maneuver is to familiarize
pilots with the aircraft handling characteristics and improve
the instrument panel scan.
2. Steep turns shall consist of a forty five (45)° banked turn of
180° or 360° in each direction.
3. Altitude, airspeed, and angle of bank should remain constant.
B. Configuration
1. The aircraft in a clean configuration with the flight director and
autothrottles OFF.
2. Trimming during the maneuver is optional.
3. Entry - Once stabilized at 250 KIAS and on altitude & constant
heading smoothly roll into a 45° bank turn.
4. Recovery - Approximately fifteen (15) degrees prior to the
desired heading start rolling out.

Section 3 Stalls

Volume 5
Section 3 Stalls
A. General
1. During the initial stages of a stall, local air flow separation
results in initial buffet giving natural warning of an approach to
stall.
2. A stall warning is considered to be any warning readily
identifiable by the pilot, either artificial (stick shaker) or initial
buffet.
3. Recovery from an approach to stall will be initiated at the
earliest recognizable stall warning.
B. Lateral and Directional Control
1. Lateral control is maintained with ailerons.
2. Rudder (directional) control should not be used because it
causes yaw and the resultant roll is undesirable.
C. Effect of Flaps
1. Flaps are used to increase low-speed performance capability.
2. The leading edge devices ensure the inboard wing will stall
prior to the outboard wing.
D. Effect of Flight Spoilers
1. For any airspeed, the angle of attack is higher with speed
brakes up (extended).
2. This increases initial buffet speed and stick shaker speed but
has a lesser effect on actual stall speed.
E. Approaches to Stalls
1. Approaches to stalls will be accomplished using different flap
configurations.
2. The stall speed and angle-of-attack at stall are essentially the
same power-on or power-off for jet aircraft.
3. Jet aircraft thrust has little effect on lowering the stall speed.
F. Stall Training
1. Stall training is accomplished in the simulator.
2. Altitudes
a. Simulator training may be done at realistic altitudes for
arrival, departure, and level flight maneuvering altitudes.

Section 3 Stalls

Volume 5
G. Entry
1. The instructor is responsible for the set up of the stalls.
2. Recovery at the first stall warning indication
a. Call “FIREWALL THRUST” while advancing the thrust
levers to the mechanical stops.
b. Establish a pitch attitude to keep altitude loss to a
minimum.
c. Continue accelerating and establish climb or level flight as
necessary.
3. When normal airspeed for the existing configuration is
reached
a. Reduce thrust to the normal operating range
b. If an engine exceedance occurs or is suspected, refer
to QRH procedure.
4. Landing Gear - If the entry has been made with the landing
gear extended, do not retract the landing gear until after the
recovery.
5. Flaps - Do not retract flaps during the recovery. Retracting the
flaps from the landing position, especially when near the
ground, causes an altitude loss during the recovery. Flap
extension above 20,000′ is not permitted.
6. If Terrain Contact is a Factor.
a. At the first indication of a stall (buffet or stick-shaker),
disconnect the autopilot, smoothly advance the thrust
levers to firewall thrust and adjust the pitch attitude as
necessary to avoid the terrain.
b. Simultaneously level the wings.
c. Control pitch as smoothly as possible.
d. As the engines accelerate, the airplane nose will pitch up.
e. To assist in pitch control, add more nose down trim as the
thrust increases.
f. Avoid abrupt control inputs that may induce a secondary
stall.
g. Use intermittent stick shaker as the upper limit for pitch atti-
tude.
h. When terrain contact is no longer a factor, continue to
adjust pitch as required to accelerate to maneuvering
speed.

Volume 5
7. If Terrain Contact is Not a Factor.
a. At the first indication of a stall (buffet or stick-shaker),
smoothly apply firewall thrust and smoothly decrease the
pitch attitude to approximately 5° above the horizon and
level the wings.
b. As engines accelerate, counter the nose-up pitch tendency
with positive forward control column pressure and nose-
down trim. (At altitudes above 20,000 feet, pitch attitudes
of less than 5° may be necessary to achieve acceptable
acceleration).
c. Accelerate to maneuvering speed and stop the rate of
descent. Correct back to the target altitude.

2. Effective May 1, 2008, the AeroData ACARS Perfor-
mance System is designated as the primary source of
data for aircraft performance and will be controlling. The
AeroData paper TLR system and the paper weight &
balance system (SeeGee Wheel) will be used as a
backup if the ACARS Performance System is not avail-
able for any reason. Any discrepancies will resolved by
the Captain and shall be reported by the flight crew to
the Dispatch Center via ACARS message (plain text).

Performance

Section 1 General
The AeroData Aircraft Performance Data Compute Server System
(Compute Server System) is an advanced client-server computer
system designed for providing comprehensive real-time aircraft
performance data to ensure compliance with takeoff, enroute (if
applicable), and landing regulations.
The heart of the system is the Compute Server. A Compute
Server takes requests from the controlling dispatcher for aircraft
performance data. Once the requested data is calculated, it is
returned to the dispatch software system. Shuttle America Air-
lines appends each specific Takeoff and Landing Report to the
end of the Flight Release.
Two or more Compute Servers are installed for redundancy and
speed. Since the Compute Server System fulfills all requests for
aircraft performance data, all performance data output is consis-
tent. Additionally, all performance data is simultaneously updated
when aeronautical data changes occur. This eliminates paper
performance manuals and the overhead associated with the main-
tenance of these manuals.
The most important advantage of the Compute Server System is
that all performance calculations are computed real-time using the
fewest possible conservatisms and generalizations. As a result,
the highest possible performance values are provided to the air-
line.
All takeoff weights are predicated upon compliance with the 14
CFR 121.189 and the Embraer manufacturer’s Airplane Flight
Manual.
Shuttle America Airlines requires that all turbine engine powered
airplanes operate in accordance with 14 CFR 121.189-121.197.

B. Enroute Limitations: One Engine Inoperative
14 CFR 121.191
1. Shuttle America Airline’s current route structure is limited by
the enroute performance limitations of this regulation for
specific flight operations when they occur within mountainous
terrain. In these instances, drift down data will accompany the
release to ensure compliance with 14 CFR 121.191:
a. ERJ-170 performance will maintain a positive slope at an
altitude of at least 1,000 feet above all terrain and obstruc-
tions within 5 statute miles of the intended track and a posi-
tive slope at 1500 feet above the airport where the airplane
is assumed to land after an engine fails.
(14 CFR 121.191(a))
or
b. The net flight path allows the ERJ-170 to continue flight
from the cruising altitude to an alternate airport clearing all
terrain an obstructions within 5 statute miles of the
intended track by at least 2000 feet vertically and a positive
slope at 1500 feet above the airport where the airplane is
assumed to land after an engine fails.
(14 CFR 121.191(b))
C. Landing Limitations Destination Airports
14 CFR 121.195
1. 14 CFR 121.195(a) No person operating a turbine-engine-
powered aircraft may takeoff that aircraft at such a weight that
the weight of the aircraft on arrival would exceed the landing
weight set forth in the Airplane Flight Manual for the elevation
of the destination or alternate airport and the ambient
temperature anticipated at the time of landing.
2. 14 CFR 121.195(b) No person operating a turbine-engine-
powered aircraft may takeoff that aircraft unless its weight on
arrival would allow a full stop landing at the destination airport
within 60 percent of the effective length of each runway
described below from a point 50 feet above the intersection of
the obstruction clearance plane and the runway. For
determining the allowable landing weight at the destination
airport the following is assumed:

a. The aircraft is landed on the most favorable runway and in
the most favorable direction, still air.
b. The aircraft is landed on the most suitable runway consid-
ering the probable wind velocity and direction.
3. 14 CFR 121.195(d) No person may takeoff a turbo-engine-
powered aircraft when the appropriate weather reports and
forecasts, or combination thereof, indicate that the runways at
the destination airport may be wet or slippery at the estimated
time of arrival unless the effective runway length at the
destination airport is at least 115 percent of the runway length
required of paragraph 2 above.
4. 14 CFR 121.195(e) A turbojet powered aircraft that would be
prohibited from taking off because it could not meet the
requirements of paragraph 2, b above may takeoff if an
alternate airport is specified that meets the requirements of
paragraph 2 above.

D. Landing Limitations Alternate Airport

time of an adequate airport in still air at normal cruising speed
with one engine inoperative.
2. Within the current route structure of Shuttle America Airlines,
all flights are within one hour flying time, single engine from an
adequate airport and are in compliance with 14 CFR 121.161.
F. Alternate Airport for Departure
14 CFR 121.617
1. Requires that if the weather conditions at the departure airport
are below landing minimums as specified in the OpsSpecs, a
takeoff alternate is required. The takeoff alternate cannot be
more than one hour flying time at normal cruise speed with
one engine inoperative.

Volume 5
d. The landing weight is limited by the most restrictive of:
1) Landing field length requirements, and
2) Maximum approach climb weight for the current alti-
tude and temperature.
C. Thrust Rating for Takeoff
1. Flexible Takeoff: FLEX TO-1 or FLEX TO-2
Flexible takeoff is a reduced takeoff thrust based on assumed
temperature. The assumed temperature is set on the MCDU
takeoff page. The FADEC determines the flexible takeoff rate
which reduces the takeoff thrust based on assumed
temperature set on the FMS. The indication FLEX TO-1 or
FLEX TO-2 will be displayed on the EICAS. The flex takeoff
reduction is limited to climb thrust (CLB-1 or CLB-2).
Deselecting the ATTCS on the MCDU does not change the
flex reduction limit.
D. Miscellaneous
1. Wet Runway:
Wet Runway - A runway that has a shiny appearance due to
a thin layer of water less than 1/8" or 3mm covering 100% of
the runway surface. If there are dry spots showing on a drying
runway with no standing water, the runway is not considered
to be wet.

Volume 5
Section 3 AeroData
A. General
The following procedures will be used when calculating ERJ-170
performance provided by AeroData.
1. The AeroData system information is provided to the airline in
several different formats and may be disseminated in four
different channels.
a. These include as part of an attachment to the Flight
Release, faxed, via internet access, or via phone.
b. The AeroData system will calculate maximum allowable
takeoff weights, landing gross weights, and adjusted V
speeds, and are based upon specific aircraft/engine
combinations, aircraft configurations, airport/runway char-
acteristics, and operating rules.
c. Flight crewmembers are required to ensure all structural
aircraft weight limitations, enroute weight limitations, and
emergency landing runway lengths are complied with.
2. The normal means of distributing the AeroData information
will consist of an attachment to the Flight Release.
a. As a backup for missing data, dispatch may access infor-
mation through the Internet.
b. Dispatch will issue the data through any of the normal or
secondary communications links established between
dispatch and the crew.
3. As part of the required crew briefing, a review of the AeroData
performance information is required.
a. You must confirm the data presented in the attachment
matches your conditions. EXAMPLE: Aircraft engine type
and model, airport city pairs, runways in use, temperature
range, inoperative items and other conditions.

Section 3 AeroData

Volume 5
4. The AeroData system allows Shuttle America to manage
aircraft weights and use an Event Viewer to review daily
activities. All ACARS traffic that is used for Weight & Balance
is archived for a minimum of 3 months both at AeroData
headquarters and offsite at AeroData’s disaster recovery
location.
a. AeroData’s Compute Server System databases servers
are mirrored servers where at least two of AeroData onsite
database servers are mirrored with each other immedi-
ately for essential applications and databases. The onsite
database servers then update a secondary onsite server
for a tertiary storage of ACARS related records at approx-
imately 10 minute intervals. The secondary server records
are mirrored to AeroData’s disaster recovery location
where the disaster recovery location houses a server
refereed to as a vault. The vaults primary purpose is to
provide a location for retaining all records offsite. The last
level of record access to the customer is an end of the
month file retained on AeroData’s secure website. The
result is that the AeroData’s system provides 5 unique
locations for retention of records.
5. The following pages contain a sample of the takeoff and
landing performance. A line by line break down of the
information on these samples is provided along with a set of
instructions as to how a pilot will calculate the performance for
each flight.

A. General
1. Takeoff Path
a. When the aircraft is assigned to a Standard Instrument
Departure (SID) that is published in the Jeppesen Airway
Manual that has no minimum climb chart associated with
the SID, the pilot will commence the initial turn out of traffic
at 400 feet AFE and will accelerate to flap retraction speed
at 1,000 feet AFE.
b. When the aircraft is assigned to a Standard Instrument
Departure (SID) that is published in the Jeppesen Airway
Manual that has a minimum climb chart associated with the
SID, AeroData will be responsible to provide the Complex
Special Procedure for the applicable runway if the climb
gradient requirements are restrictive to the aircraft perfor-
mance. The provided MRTWs for the planned runway are
based on the pilot complying with the Complex Special
Procedure.
c. When no SID is assigned to the aircraft for departure, the
PIC will ensure compliance with the Take-Off and Obstacle
Departure Procedure as published in the Jeppesen Airway
Manual (normally located on the back of the airport
diagram page 10-9).
d. In the event that the aircraft is going to fly into a non-radar
environment, is not assigned a SID, and there is no Take-
Off and Obstacle Departure Procedure published in the
Jeppesen Airway Manual, then NO turns shall be
commenced below 1,000' above field elevation (AFE)
when takeoff weather is less than 1,000’ ceiling and 3 sm
visibility unless a Special Departure Procedure prescribes
otherwise. In the event that the aircraft is not assigned a
SID but on departure the aircraft is in a radar environment
and Departure Control assigns a heading, the pilot is
allowed to turn to that heading.
e. Acceleration Altitude (AALT), (also known as Flap Retrac-
tion Altitude) for all takeoffs is 1,000' AFE unless a Special
Procedure prescribes otherwise.

B. Special Engine Failure Takeoff Path & Procedures
Special Procedures for takeoff are provided when Standard
Engine Failure Takeoff Procedures cannot be used due to obsta-
cle requirements. Special Procedures are designed to only pro-
vide procedures and information that differ from Standard
Procedures. For takeoff there are two types of Special Proce-
dures:
1. Simple-Special:
a. The Simple-Special Procedure differs from Standard
Procedures in that a turn to a NAVAID or heading is
required before reaching 1,000'.
b. FRA remains at 1,000' AFE unless otherwise specified in
the FLAP RETRACT box.
c. Simple-Special Procedures are mandatory in IMC. They
are also mandatory in VMC until reaching 1,000' AFE.
d. The turn to the NAVAID or heading is to be made at the
highest bank angle appropriate for aircraft speed.
e. In IMC, if radar vectors are not available, comply with the
special procedure until 3,000’ AFE at which time you may
proceed on course (as applicable).
f. Simple-Special Procedures, when required, are provided
on the top of each page of takeoff runway analysis.
g. Below is a sample Simple-Special Procedure and legend:

the standard engine failure profile.
2) Engine failure initial heading or course - only listed if
different than runway alignment. A turn to the speci-
fied heading or course shall be commenced at 50'
AFE or at engine failure above 50' AFE.
3) Engine failure turn point - listed in feet MSL for an alti-
tude turn point and DME or radial for geographic turn
points.
4) Alternate turn point - Alternate turning fix (if available)
for redundancy and/or convenience.

5) Turn direction and NAVAID or heading - LT = left turn;
RT = right turn; DT = direct (turn to NAVAID or
heading in direction of shortest distance); H =
heading.
6) Flap retraction altitude - FRA (feet MSL).
7) Holding procedures at NAVAID - STD = right turns &
1 minute legs. Unless otherwise noted, hold on the
inbound radial using a direct entry. This may not
necessarily be a published holding pattern.
8) Remarks.
2. Complex-Special:
a. The Complex-Special Procedure is issued when an engine
failure procedure is too complex to fit in the Simple-Special
table and/or other considerations must be taken into
account. Often, all-engine procedures are also specified in
order to ensure that the aircraft will remain in the obstacle
protected area until reaching a safe engine failure altitude.
FRA remains at 1,000' AFE unless otherwise specified in
the procedure.
b. Complex-Special Procedures may be specifically
designed for a published instrument departure procedure.
In these cases, the name of the applicable instrument
departure procedure will be indicated on the Complex-
Special and the Complex-Special is only valid for the
instrument departure procedure specified. Complex-
Special Procedures are mandatory under IMC and VMC.
C. Runway Conditions
1. The 4 Runway Conditions for AeroData are Wet Runway,
Contaminated Runway, Compacted Snow Runway, and
Slippery Runway.
a. Wet Runway - A runway that has a shiny appearance due
to a thin layer of water less than 1/8" or 3mm covering
100% of the runway surface. If there are dry spots showing
on a drying runway with no standing water, the runway is
not considered to be wet.

REV. 4, 15 FEB 2008 9-16


ERJ-170 Pilot Operating Handbook
Chapter 9 Performance
Section 4 AeroData Takeoff Reports

Volume 5
b. Contaminated Runway - A runway where more than 25%
of the runway length, within the width being used, is
covered by standing water or slush more than 1/8" or 3mm
deep, or that has an accumulation of snow or ice. A runway
may also be considered contaminated with less than 25%
coverage if the contaminant is located prior to the midpoint
of the runway.
c. Compacted Snow Runway - A runway is considered to be
contaminated by compacted snow when covered by snow
which has been compacted into a solid mass which resists
further compression and will hold together or break into
lumps if picked up.
d. Slippery Runway - A runway surface condition where
braking action is expected to be very low, due to the pres-
ence of ice.
2. Runway Contaminants
a. Standing Water – Accumulated water on the runway
surface caused by heavy rainfall or by poor drainage.
b. Slush - Snow mixed with water.
c. Dry Snow - Snow that cannot be easily compacted by
hand.
d. Wet Snow - Snow that is easily compacted by hand.
3. Contamination Levels

D. Ground Vehicle Runway Friction Readings
1. At certain airports, ground vehicle friction readings are
provided by ATIS and/or the control tower when slippery
runway conditions are thought to exist.
2. These readings are derived from devices that attempt to
measure the runway coefficient of friction ( µ or mu).
Unfortunately, the measurements made by these devices do
not directly correlate to the µ that would be experienced by an
aircraft, although they do provide indications of airplane/
runway braking action that may be used for planning
purposes.
3. Reported measurements are also a function of the device
itself. The readings from these devices are given by ATIS and/
or the control tower and typically are given with the type of
measuring device used.
4. Please note that the readings may be given as whole numbers
(i.e., .47 would be given as 47). In addition, Runway Condition
Readings (RCR) are normally associated with military and
Canadian airports. The following table can be used to
correlate ground vehicle friction readings to an airplane/
runway braking action level.

E. Takeoff On Wet, Slippery, Or Contaminated Runways


1. The takeoff data provided for non-dry runways serves to
maintain a margin of safety equivalent to a dry runway by
taking into consideration performance characteristics
associated with non-dry runway conditions. Therefore, the
more accurate the assessment of runway conditions, the
greater the margin of safety maintained.

Section 4 AeroData Takeoff Reports

Volume 5
a. The PIC should obtain a current braking action report from
the Tower and use the current braking action report as the
primary means of determining the type of contamination on
the runway.
b. If the PIC is able to obtain a current runway condition
report, that report must be obtained from an FAA approved
source such as TRACON, ATIS, or the Tower.
c. In some cases when accurate information is not available,
an assessment of the runway condition must be made by
the crew.
d. However, due to a lack of the proper means, making an
accurate assessment of the runway condition is often
impossible.
e. Even if a runway condition assessment is inaccurate, using
takeoff data for that runway condition still offers an
increased margin of safety over using dry runway data.
2. Takeoff Runway Analysis provides maximum takeoff weights
and maximum V1s for wet, slippery, and contaminated
runways.
a. This data preserves accelerate-go and accelerate-stop
distances for the appropriate runway conditions.
b. Wet maximum takeoff weights are based on the braking
capability of the runway being analyzed.
c. This is reflected in that a runway with no friction treatment
(i.e. grooving) will show significant weight penalty when
comparing wet versus dry, while a runway with good fric-
tion characteristics will show little or no penalty.
d. Comparing the difference between dry and nondry takeoff
weights for each available runway will indicate the best
runway for takeoff.
e. Wet, slippery, and contaminated takeoff weights are based
on all components that affect aircraft performance being
operative, unless otherwise specified on the runway anal-
ysis.
f. The following limitations apply to takeoffs on wet, slippery,
and contaminated runways:
1) Reduced thrust takeoff PROHIBITED on slippery or
contaminated runways. (AFM) however, a TO-2
Takeoff may be utilized on a slippery or contaminated

Volume 5
runway (AFM) as long as the Takeoff and Landing
Report reflects the appropriate conditions of the
runway.
2) Reduced thrust takeoff is allowed on a wet runway as
long as the Takeoff and Landing Report reflects the
appropriate conditions of the runway (i.e. TO-1, WET
RWY, TO-2 WET RWY, etc.)
3) PROHIBITED when braking action is reported as
"NIL."
4) PROHIBITED when contamination exceeds LEVEL
3. (AFM)
3. Takeoff Speeds Determination for Contaminated Runways
a. For contaminated takeoffs where the actual takeoff weight
is significantly less than the MRTW for the selected
contamination level, lower takeoff speeds may be realized
by using speeds for the actual takeoff weight from the MAX
TEMP section.
b. Speeds from either the Dry or Wet runway MAX TEMP
section may be used, although Wet runway data may be
preferred due to lower V1 speed.
1) Verify the actual takeoff weight is less than or equal to
the Single Section MRTW for the given contaminated
conditions.
2) Verify that the flap setting for the departure runway in
the MAX TEMP section is the same as the flap setting
for the departure runway in the Single Section for the
given contaminated conditions. If the flap settings do
not match then the takeoff speeds from the Single
Section must be used.
3) Compare the MAX TEMP V1 for the actual takeoff
weight to the Single Section V1. Use the lower V1.
4) Compare the MAX TEMP VR for the actual takeoff
weight to the Single Section VR . Use the lower VR
and the associated V2.
5) Use the power setting from the Single Section.
F. Reduced Thrust Takeoff
1. Any amount of reduced thrust for takeoff is desirable to reduce
engine wear.

REV. 4, 15 FEB 2008 9-20


ERJ-170 Pilot Operating Handbook
Chapter 9 Performance
Section 4 AeroData Takeoff Reports

Volume 5
2. The greatest benefit is realized in the first 5% of thrust
reduction, as this brings peak EGT out of the most critical
range, although thrust reduction in excess of 5% is still of
considerable benefit.
3. The assumed temperature method is used to calculate
reduced thrust.
4. Takeoff thrust may be reduced up to 25% (FMC will not allow
thrust reduction greater than 25%) from the maximum takeoff
thrust.
5. The following limitations apply to operations with reduced
thrust:
a. PROHIBITED on slippery or contaminated runways,
b. Reduced thrust takeoff is allowed on a wet runway as long
as the Takeoff and Landing Report reflects the appro-
priate conditions of the runway (i.e. TO-1, WET RWY, TO-
2 WET RWY, etc.)
c. PROHIBITED when a Special Departure Procedure spec-
ifies full thrust for takeoff.
6. Refer to the Takeoff Report - MAX TEMP section later in this
Chapter for instructions on determining reduced thrust takeoff
data.
G. Runway Naming Conventions
1. Intersection Runways
Intersection runways are designated by “/” between the runway
and the intersecting taxiway or runway.
a. 26L/A Designates runway 26L at the intersection of
taxiway “A”.
2. Intersection Departure
Intersection performance data may be used for an intersection
departure of longer length or a full length departure. Engine failure
procedures remain the same.
3. Shortened Runways
Shortened runways are designated using the following code:
“26L-E2000F”
a. 26L Indicates the base runway
b. – Indicates that the runway has been shortened

REV. 4, 15 FEB 2008 9-21


ERJ-170 Pilot Operating Handbook
Chapter 9 Performance
Section 4 AeroData Takeoff Reports

Volume 5
c. E Indicates the end of the runway which has been short-
ened (possible values are N, NE, E, SE, S SW, W, NW)
d. 2000 Indicates the shortened distance
e. F Indicates the units for the shortened distance where “F”
= feet. The shortened distance unit shown will correspond
to that given by the applicable shortened runway NOTAM.
4. Temporary Obstacle Runways
When an obstacle listed by a NOTAM affects takeoff performance,
the obstacle will be included in takeoff weight calculations and the
NOTAM will be referenced in the runway notes, if the NOTAM is
not conditional (i.e. time of day). If the NOTAM is conditional, a
new runway name will be created with a description referencing
the NOTAM (i.e. 07LCRANE). This provides for the use of the
normal runway or the NOTAMed runway, depending on NOTAM
applicability.
5. Arresting Gear Cable Runways
Runways equipped with an arresting gear cable(s) are designated
by using “CBL”. Distance beyond a cable from the liftoff end will be
considered as clearway. The following naming conventions repre-
sent cable runway designations.
a. 22L-NECBL Runway 22L with cable on Northeast (brake
release) end of runway deployed. Takeoff run is initiated at
cable. Effective runway length is the distance from the
cable to the lift-off end of the runway.
b. 22L-SWCBL Runway 22L with cable on Southwest (lift-off)
end of runway deployed. Takeoff run is initiated at the
brake release end of runway. Effective runway length is
the distance from the brake release end of the runway to
the cable.
c. 22L-CBL-CBL Runway 22L with cable on Northeast
(brake release) and Southwest (liftoff) ends of the runway
deployed. Takeoff run is initiated at cable. Effective
runway length is the distance between cables.
d. 22L/B10-CBL Runway 22L intersection B10 with cable on
Southwest (lift-off) end of runway deployed. Takeoff run is
initiated at intersection B10. Effective runway length is the
distance from B10 to the cable.
e. 22L-1000-CBL Runway 22L with 1000 NOTAM on North-
east (brake release) end of runway and cable on lift-off end
of the runway deployed. Takeoff run is initiated at break
release end minus 1000. Effective runway length is the
distance from 22L minus 1000 to the cable.

Volume 5
f. 22L-CBL-1000 Runway 22L with cable on Northeast
(brake release) end of runway deployed and 1000 NOTAM
on lift-off end of the runway. Takeoff run is initiated at
cable. Effective runway length is the distance from the
cable to the lift-off end of the runway minus 1000 due to
NOTAM.
Section 5 Takeoff Performance
A. Takeoff Runway Analysis Report
1. The Takeoff Runway Analysis Report (Takeoff Report) is
prepared for each flight based on the environmental
conditions, runway conditions, and aircraft configuration
anticipated by the dispatcher at the time of departure.
a. The Takeoff Report provides takeoff data for the planned
conditions as well as a range of data surrounding planned
conditions.
b. The Takeoff Report includes takeoff data for all of the
runways designated for inclusion by the airline.
c. Runways are listed in numerical order. Shortened runways
are listed following the associated full length runway, if
applicable.
2. MEL and CDL penalties that are planned by the dispatcher are
transferred to the Takeoff Report and are included in takeoff
weight calculations. Included penalties are always indicated in
the Takeoff Report.

a unique identifier given to each Takeoff Report. Following
the SEQ-# number is the UTC date and time that the Takeoff
Report was created. Next is the aircraft tail number and the
associated airframe/engine combination designation.
Note: All weight data is displayed as weight / 10.
a. APT – Airport IATA identifier.
b. PRWY – Planned runway. The runway that was used by
the dispatcher for planning the flight.
c. POAT – Planned outside temperature.
d. PQNH – Planned QNH (Altimeter setting).
1) The entire Takeoff Report is based on this QNH.
2) The Takeoff Report is valid when the actual QNH is
no less than 0.10” below PQNH.
a) For example, if the dispatcher planned for a QNH
of 29.82, then the report is valid if the actual QNH
is no lower than 29.72. If the actual QNH falls
below 29.72, then a new Takeoff Report must be
generated or a radio revision may be accepted.
3) A new Takeoff Report is never required when the
actual QNH exceeds the planned QNH, but additional
uplift capability may be gained by using an actual
QNH that is higher than PQNH.
e. PWIND – Planned wind direction / speed.
f. PMRTW – Planned maximum runway takeoff weight.
g. FLP – Takeoff flap setting associated with PMRTW.
h. IC – Improved climb indicator for PMRTW.
1) “Y” = Yes, PMRTW is based on the use of Improved
Climb
2) “N” = No, PMRTW is not based on the use of
Improved Climb.
3) V1, VR, V2 - The takeoff speeds associated with the
planned conditions based on the lower of the PMRTW
or the MFPTW.
4) Add 100 to each number shown that is less than 80.
i. PTOW – Planned takeoff weight.
j. MFPTW – Maximum flight plan takeoff weight. This is the
maximum takeoff weight for which the flight plan is valid

when considering all flight planning limits except MRTW.
These limits include the structural MTOW, METW, MLDW
+ planned fuel burn off, fuel capacity limited takeoff weight,
structural MTXW - taxi fuel, and, if required, takeoff alter-
nate METW. MRTW for actual conditions can exceed
PMRTW, but the final MTOW can never exceed MFPTW.

RMKS ONE BRAKE DEACTIVATED

2. Remarks (RMKS)
a. Non-standard airplane configuration and runway condition
listing.
b. Listed configuration changes are applied to the entire
report unless specified otherwise in a section title.
1) For example, if the RMKS indicates that one brake
inoperative, the entire Takeoff Report is calculated
with the one brake inoperative.
2) If the RMKS indicates a wet runway and a section title
includes the words “DRY RUNWAY”, the section is
still based on a dry runway.
c. Generally, but not without exception, inoperative compo-
nents will apply to the entire report, while pilot selectable
options are overridden by the section title.

a. This area is for last minute revisions to takeoff data.
b. It can be used in cases where the takeoff report does not
contain data for the current conditions or when fine-tuning
of the MRTW is required to obtain maximum payload capa-
bility.
c. The dispatcher can quickly make a single point calculation
for exact conditions that can be relayed to the flight crew.

Volume 5
Section 6 Takeoff Report – Max Temp Section
The MAX TEMP section provides a simplified method of determin-
ing if takeoff requirements are satisfied for current operating con-
ditions. It also provides for quick determination of takeoff speeds,
if reduced thrust is possible, and the associated maximum
assumed temperature. This section may not necessarily provide
the highest possible uplift capability. As such, other sections may
need to be referenced to obtain the highest possible takeoff
weight.
A. Definitions – Max Temp Section
1. FLAT TEMP – Indicates the lowest assumed temperature for
which reduced thrust operation is allowed. It is also the
temperature limit which must be checked after adjustments
are applied.
2. WT – Weight range column, where the “/” symbol indicates the
PTOW with weight increments above and below PTOW.
3. MT – Maximum temperature (actual or assumed) for which
takeoff is allowed for the specified weight and section
conditions.
4. M – An “M” after an MT indicates that Maximum Takeoff
Power is required for the specified conditions

Volume 5
B. Max Temp Section
1. In a MAX TEMP section, a “/” is shown at the PTOW.
2. A line of takeoff data consists of weight, temperature, and
takeoff speeds.
3. Dashes in place of an element indicate that takeoff is not
allowed for the specified condition in that section.
4. Adjustment data is in the form of temperature and V1.
5. Dashes in place of an adjustment indicate the adjustment
cannot be made for the specified condition for any weight in
the scale.
C. Steps For Using The Max Temp Section
1. Determine the MT, without adjustments, for the desired
runway by using the actual takeoff weight rounded UP to the
nearest displayed weight value.
2. When adjustments are not required or desired –
a. If MT is greater than or equal to OAT, takeoff is allowed.
b. If no “M” appears next to MT and MT is greater than OAT,
reduced thrust takeoff is allowed. An “M” next to MT indi-
cates that Maximum Takeoff Power is required.
c. If reduced thrust is allowed, enter the MT into the FMS,
along with the V1, VR, and V2.
3. When adjustments are required or desired
a. Adjust MT and V1 for each adjustment.
b. If Adjusted MT is less than FLAT TEMP, then the adjust-
ment or combination of adjustments is not allowed for the
airplane configuration or conditions and the next appro-
priate section must be used.
c. If Adjusted MT is greater than or equal to OAT, takeoff is
allowed.
d. If no “M” appears next to MT and Adjusted MT is greater
than OAT, reduced thrust takeoff is allowed. An “M” next to
MT indicates Maximum Takeoff Power is required.
e. If reduced thrust is allowed, enter the Adjusted MT into the
FMS, along with the Adjusted V1, VR, and V2.

4. Headwind adjustments are optional.
a. For headwinds less than 10 knots, DO NOT apply the 10
KT HW adjustment.
b. For headwinds of ten knots and greater, use the 10KT HW
adjustment.
5. Extrapolation and Interpolation are allowed for QNH
adjustments.
6. When adjustments are required, all adjustment values shown

Section 11 Enroute Performance Analysis
A. General
1. FAR 121.191 requires the airline to plan each flight with
consideration given to an engine failure enroute. Compliance
with this regulation is primarily a pre-flight/dispatching
function.
a. This regulation specifies two sets of requirements, of
which, the airline must comply with at least one on each
flight.
b. We will refer to these two sets of requirements as Method
1 and Method 2. Both methods measure performance
based on aircraft net flight path (or net altitude).
2. For a two engine airplane, net altitude is the altitude at which
the aircraft can maintain a 1.1% climb gradient based on its
current weight.
3. The airplane's actual altitude capability (service ceiling or 0%
climb gradient) is approximately 5,000 feet higher than the net
altitude capability.
4. The difference between the net and actual altitude is the
operating safety margin.
a. This operating safety margin accounts for factors such as
not being on the planned route of flight, ice accumulation
on unheated surfaces, the use of ice protection systems
when it was not planned, the unavailability of an APU when
it was planned, flying at other than optimum speeds, and
enroute temperatures greater than forecast.
5. AFM altitude capability is based on enroute climb speed or
driftdown speed.

REV. 4, 15 FEB 2008 9-36


ERJ-170 Pilot Operating Handbook
Chapter 9 Performance
Section 11 Enroute Performance Analysis

Volume 5
B. Method 1
1. Method 1 requires the aircraft to take off at a weight that
ensures that if an engine failure occurs anywhere from V1 to
the destination, that the aircraft's net altitude capability will
clear all obstructions 5 SM either side of the intended route by
1,000 feet until reaching the destination.
2. The aircraft must also have a positive net gradient at 1,500
feet above the destination airport. Under optimum conditions,
these requirements provide actual aircraft altitude capability of
approximately 6,000 feet over the most critical obstruction and
6,500 feet above the destination field elevation when
operating at enroute climb speed and planned conditions.

3. Method 1 analysis provides a Maximum Enroute Takeoff


Weight (M1METW) that is based on the forecast winds and
temperatures aloft, bleed configuration, and ice protection
configuration.
4. M1METW is the maximum allowable weight at which the
aircraft can take off and still comply with Method 1
requirements.

C. Method 2
1. Method 2 (driftdown) requires that if an engine failure occurs,
the aircraft be able to divert to at least one suitable airport from
normal cruise altitude and the aircraft's net driftdown altitude
will clear all obstructions 5 SM either side of the route of flight
by 2,000 feet until reaching the diversion airport.
2. The aircraft must also have a positive net gradient at 1,500
feet above the diversion airport.

4. Method 2 analysis provides a Maximum Enroute Takeoff


Weight (M2METW) that is based on the forecast winds and
temperatures aloft, bleed configuration, and ice protection
configuration.
a. M2METW is the maximum allowable weight at which the
aircraft can take off and still comply with Method 2 require-
ments.
b. Additionally, Method 2 analysis provides a list of driftdown
suitable airports for one or more segments along the route
of flight.
5. Each segment is defined by start and end points referenced
from either the origin airport, the destination airport, or
navaids along the route of flight.
6. Method 2 analysis assumes that the aircraft diverts to the
suitable airport when it is abeam the airport along the planned
route and that the suitable airport is no more than 130 NM
from the abeam point.
a. It is also assumed that, if the aircraft arrives at the suitable
airport geographically before the driftdown maneuver is
completed, the aircraft will complete the driftdown
maneuver over the suitable airport in order to reduce
aircraft weight by fuel burn-off.
7. The driftdown maneuver is considered complete when the
aircraft reaches level-off altitude.

REV. 4, 15 FEB 2008 9-38


ERJ-170 Pilot Operating Handbook
Chapter 9 Performance
Section 11 Enroute Performance Analysis

Volume 5
8. In accordance with regulations, Method 2 analysis begins at
cruise altitude.
a. Because an engine failure may occur before reaching
normal cruise altitude, the aircraft must be able to return to
land to the departure airport or divert to a suitable takeoff
alternate in the event of an engine failure before reaching
cruise altitude.
b. Therefore, if a takeoff alternate is required, the flight plan-
ning system determines an M1METW to ensure adequate
terrain clearance to the takeoff alternate.
c. The lesser of the METW for the filed route or the METW for
the takeoff alternate is then used by the flight planning
system for maximum takeoff weight determination.
D. Dispatch Airport Suitability
1. For dispatching purposes, a legal suitable airport is one that is
listed in the Method 2 analysis, meets alternate airport
weather minimums criteria, and has sufficient landing field
length.
a. NOTAMs must be checked as they may render an airport
unsuitable.
b. The destination weather does not have to meet alternate
weather minimums criteria to be listed as a Method 2
airport.
c. The dispatcher has the capability of excluding unsuitable
airports from Method 2 analysis.
1) As unsuitable airports are removed from the Method
2 analysis, the M2METW may begin to decrease in
order to use less favorable airports.
E. Inflight Airport Suitability
1. For inflight purposes, a legal suitable airport is one where a
safe landing can be made.
2. When determining airport suitability, consider the following:
a. Actual and forecast weather
b. Location of airport in reference to terrain
c. Available navaids and approaches
d. Approach minimums
e. Length of runway(s)

Volume 5
f. NOTAMs
g. Emergency equipment
h. Passenger handling facilities
3. At the beginning of descent, the nearest airport in point of time
is usually the destination airport, even if a suitable airport is
closer in distance, unless an emergency descent is required.
4. Inflight, if an engine failure occurs, FAR 121.565(a) requires
that “the pilot in command shall land the airplane at the
nearest suitable airport, in point of time, at which a safe
landing can be made.”
a. Therefore, if an engine failure occurs, the flight crew will
then determine the nearest suitable airport.
b. In some cases, the selected suitable airport may not
necessarily be any of those selected for dispatching
requirements.
F. MEL/CDL Penalties
1. When a MEL/CDL item associated with an inoperative or
missing component requires an enroute performance penalty,
the penalty is entered by the dispatcher into the flight planning
system for consideration.
2. The penalty is then noted in the remarks section of the
release.
G. Selection Of Method 1 Or Method 2
1. In automatic mode, the flight planning system chooses the
most favorable of either Method 1 or Method 2.
2. Generally, Method 2 provides the highest enroute takeoff
weight, but requires the most amount of dispatching oversight.
a. As a result, Method 1 is selected by default if it is not
limiting to the flight plan’s takeoff weight.
b. If Method 1 is limiting, then the greater of M1METW or
M2METW is selected.
3. Generally, M2METW is greater than M1METW, but in cases
where there are few driftdown airports available, M1METW
can be greater than M2METW.

Section 12 Enroute Engine Failure Procedures

Volume 5
Section 12 Enroute Engine Failure Procedures
A. General
1. Since the flight crew's responsibility is to proceed to the
nearest suitable airport when an engine failure occurs, the
crew may or may not use the enroute method specified on the
flight release. As a result, these enroute engine failure
procedures are designed to help the crew proceed safely to
the nearest suitable airport.
2. If terrain clearance is not a factor, these procedures may be
altered based on actual conditions in order to expedite a safe
landing. These procedures reference single engine service
ceiling.
3. Determining whether the aircraft is above or below the single
engine service ceiling at the time of engine failure can easily
be accomplished by observing whether or not the aircraft can
maintain it’s present altitude at enroute climb speed or
driftdown speed, as appropriate.
4. When determining terrain clearance altitudes, consider the
elevation of the terrain plus an operational safety margin.
5. This safety margin should account for such factors as ice
protection system requirements, ice accumulation on
unheated surfaces, temperature variations, and flight at other
than optimum speeds.

B. Procedures When Dispatched With Method 1 - Engine Failure


Below Single Engine Service Ceiling
1. Climb at enroute climb speed with maximum continuous

2. Land And Hold Short Operations (LAHSO) Runways
a. LAHSO Runways are designated by using “/” between the
landing runway designation and the hold short runway
intersection or nearest aligned runway designation. The
following naming conventions represent LAHSO runway
designations.
1) 09R/S Landing runway 09R hold short intersection S.
2) 14R/09R Landing runway 14R hold short runway
09R(27L).

3. Arresting Gear Cable Runways
Runways equipped with an arresting gear cable(s) are designated
by using “CBL”. The following naming conventions represent
cable runway designations.
a. 22L-NECBL Runway 22L with cable on Northeast (brake
release) end of runway deployed. Effective runway length
is the distance from the cable to the roll-out end of the
runway.
b. 22L-SWCBL Runway 22L with cable on Southwest (lift-off)
end of runway deployed. Effective runway length is the
distance from the approach end of the runway to the cable.
c. 22L-CBL-CBL Runway 22L with cable on Northeast
(approach) and Southwest (roll-out) ends of the runway
deployed. Effective runway length is the distance between
cables.
d. 22L-1000-CBL Runway 22L with 1000 NOTAM on North-
east (approach) end of runway and cable on roll-out end of
the runway deployed. Effective runway length is the
distance from 22L minus 1000 to the cable.
e. 22L-CBL-1000 Runway 22L with cable on Northeast
(approach) end of runway deployed and 1000 NOTAM on
roll-out end of the runway. Effective runway length is the
distance from the cable to the roll-out end of the runway
minus 1000 due to NOTAM.
C. Landing Report Layout
The Landing Report is an extension of the Takeoff Report. As
such, this section describes the differences between the Takeoff
Report and the Landing Report. Refer to the Takeoff Report Lay-
out section for supplemental documentation.

E. Unfactored Landing Distance & Required Landing Distance
Unfactored Landing Distance is the actual distance to land the
airplane on a zero slope, ISA temperature, dry runway, from a
point 50 ft. above runway threshold at VREF, using only the brakes
and spoilers as deceleration devices (i.e., no engine reverse thrust
is used).
The Required Landing Distance for dispatch is the unfactored
landing distance increased by 66.7% for dry runway, or 91.7% for
wet runway.
For obtaining the DRY runway factored distance, multiply unfac-
tored landing distance by 1.667.
For obtaining the WET runway factored distance, multiply unfac-
tored landing distance by 1.917.

Section 16 AeroData ACARS Performance System
A. System Description
ACARS is a data link system that allows character-oriented
messages to be exchanged between ground stations and the
aircraft. Messages are divided into two groups:
- Addressed to or by crewmembers: data link requests or free
text reports;
- Automatically sent: reports of flight data, performance data
and routine events.
Communication to ground stations are made through VDR 3
channel (Com 3). The MCDU provides the interface with ACARS
applications to crewmembers.
Note: VDR 3 is normally in Data Mode for proper ACARS
operation. In the event of an emergency when Com
1 and Com 2 have failed, VDR 3 may be switched to
Voice Mode for communications.
B. ACARS Applications
1. Air Traffic Service Applications
- ATIS (Air Traffic Information Service) Reports application
enables the flight crew to send a downlink message
requesting an uplink report that may be a specific airport
information or an en route information.
- Departure Clearance Application is used to request a
departure clearance through character-oriented messages
instead of voice communication.
- Expected Taxi Clearance is used to request a taxi
clearance through character-oriented messages instead of
voice communication. (Not currently enabled for Shuttle
America aircraft)
- Pushback Clearance is used to request a pushback
clearance through character-oriented messages instead of
voice communication. (Not currently enabled for Shuttle
America aircraft)
- TWIP (Terminal Weather Information for Pilots) provides
meteorological information to the flight crew. (Not currently
enabled for Shuttle America aircraft)

a) The system will calculate required ballast fuel
which the pilot will then enter into the Takeoff
Conditions page and re-send the request.
b) Typically, the required ballast fuel is less than 500
pounds of fuel.
c) The pilot must declare emergency fuel anytime the
aircraft is flying an approach at the destination
airport and the aircraft will land with total fuel on
board that is less than ballast fuel.
4) No Takeoff Data Avail
a) This means the system could not find your flight
release in the system and the calculation is
erroring out.
b) Whenever you see this message, you should re-
check your flight number, date, and your inputs in
the Takeoff Conditions Screen
c) Contact Dispatch to ensure that the flight release

d. LSK 4L - Surface Condition
1) The flight crew should select the Surface Condition
and Braking Action Report based on the following
FAA approved table:,
Braking Dry (not Good Fair/Medium Poor Nil
Action reported)
Contaminant Dry Wet Packed or Wet Snow Wet ice
Dry Snow Compacted Slush
(< 20mm) Snow Standing Water
Ice

Note: Dry Snow less than 20 mm is the same as Dry Snow less
than 3/4 of an inch.
e. The flight crew should use Braking Action Reports as the
primary means of computing landing data. In other words,
the pilot should activate the Braking Action Report selec-
tion first, and not activate the Runway Condition selection.
AeroData will compute the most conservative number
based on both selections. Therefore, a Braking Action
Report of good with a Surface Condition selection of dry,
the system will compute the landing distance for braking
action “good” (e.g. a wet runway and/or a runway with dry
snow less than 3/4 of an inch). Surface Condition reports
should only be used when the report comes from an FAA
approved source such as a Flight Service Station, the
Control Tower, or TRACON.
1) It is reasonable for the flight crew to assume that a
runway that has been recently plowed has dry snow
less than 3/4 of an inch and braking action is good.
2) If the flight crew is not sure of the time when the
runway was plowed, it is reasonable for the flight crew
to assume that the snow left on the runway by the
snow plows is packed or compacted snow and that
the braking action is fair or medium.
CAUTION: The only certified data for landing information provided
by Embraer is for dry and wet only. Data for any other
surface and/or contamination is “Advisory Only” and is
not based on any flight test data. “Advisory Only” data
is not controlling.

3) Default condition is a dry surface.
4) Pilot may toggle between the following surface condi-
tions:
a) Dry
b) Wet
c) Compacted Snow
d) Wet Ice
5) Pilot may toggle between the following contamina-
tions types:
a) Standing Water
b) Slush
c) Dry Snow
d) Wet Snow
i) The 4 contaminations that require a depth
selection, the pilot may toggle between Levels
1, 2, and 3 and the depth requirements for each
level are stated on the screen.
f. LSK 5L - Braking Action - the pilot may toggle between:
1) None - Default Setting - Associated with a dry runway
which is normally not reported.
2) Good - Associated with a wet runway or dry snow less
than 3/4 of an inch
3) Fair - Associated with Compacted Snow which is
snow that is left behind after the runway has been
plowed.
4) Poor - Associated with wet snow, slush, standing
water, and ice.
a) Normally, only a braking action report is given by
the Tower. If there is a conflict between the condi-
tions on the field and the braking action report, the
pilot should utilize a combination of all reports to
determine the safest course of action and no
single report is considered to be controlling.
b) For operations on a slippery runway, the factored
landing distance will be the calculated actual
landing distance plus 15% whenever that number
exceeds the requirements of the dispatch number
(14 CFR 121.195).

REV. 4, 15 FEB 2008 9-82


ERJ-170 Pilot Operating Handbook

Volume 5
c) For operations on a slippery runway (i.e. standing
water, snow, slush, etc.), the pilot should use the
factored distance and not the unfactored distance
as the minimum distance required when reviewing
available runway length and the airport of intended
landing.
5) Nil - Associated with wet ice. Operations with braking
action Nil are not authorized and the pilot will receive
an error message anytime Nil is selected stating that
operations are not approved.
g. LSK 6L - Return to Performance Menu
h. LSK 1R - Airport
1) A new airport may be entered in case of a diversion.
i. LSK 2R - Wind
1) Enter the direction and velocity of the steady state
wind from ATIS or Tower.
2) For the gust factor, the pilot must manually calculate
the gust factor and add the gust factor to the Aero-
Data number for Vapp.
a) Example:
i) With a Vref of 130 KIAS, landing RWY 09R at
KORD with the winds 090/20G30, the pilot
would enter 090/20 into the wind field.
ii) The AeroData system will calculate a Vapp of
140 KIAS (130 plus 10 for one half the head-
wind).
iii) When adding in the gust factor, the pilot would
enter 150 KIAS in the Vapp field in the Landing-
Data 3/3 Screen (one half the head wind plus all
of the gust factor).
b) The addition of the gust factor may be accom-
plished after talking to the Tower and receiving the
latest wind report prior to landing.

Required Landing Distance


Unfactored landing distance is the actual distance to
land the airplane on a zero slope, ISA temperature, dry
runway, from a point 50 ft. above runway threshold at
VREF, using only the brakes and spoilers as decelera-
tion devices (i.e., no engine reverse thrust is used).
The required landing distance for dispatch is the unfac-
tored landing distance increased by 66.7% for dry run-
way, or 91.7% for wet runway.
For obtaining the DRY runway factored distance, mul-
tiply unfactored landing distance by 1.667.
For obtaining the WET runway factored distance, mul-
tiply unfactored landing distance by 1.917.

Section 1 Weight and Balance Control Policy


(14 CFR 121.153)
It is Shuttle America' policy for domestic and flag operations to uti-
lize an approved weight and balance control system. This system
is based on AVERAGE weights for crew members, passengers
and baggage as per AC 120-27 (as amended) to ensure the air-
craft are loaded within the gross weight and center of gravity limi-
tations.
For supplemental operations, including DoD charters and non-
standard passenger groups, Shuttle America uses ACTUAL
weights for passengers and baggage.

Section 2 Cargo Compartments/Loading
A. Cargo Compartments Description
1. Cargo compartments are located in the forward and aft part of
the fuselage.
2. Both cargo compartments are pressurized. They are “Class-
C” compartments and have the following systems installed.
a. Smoke Detection System
b. Fire Extinguishing System
c. Ventilation System (forward cargo compartment only)
3. No dedicated temperature control is available for cargo
compartments. The air flowing from the passenger cabin
heats the forward cargo compartment, providing proper
conditions for live animal carriage.
4. Door Safety Nets are installed in both cargo compartments
and are required to be fastened before closing the cargo
compartment door.
B. Cargo Door Operations
1. The cargo doors are manually operated from the outside. The
initial opening movement (displacement of the door inward)
and final closing and latching movement (displacement of the
door outward) are achieved by means of a door locking
mechanism controlled by an external handle.
2. The forward cargo door is 3 ft. 7.3 in wide and 2 ft. 11.4 in high.
3. The aft cargo door is a trapezoid 3 ft. 3 in. wide and with minor
high of 2 ft. 6.7 in and major high of 2 ft. 10 in.

G. Live Animals Transportation
1. The main reference that regulates and states methods and
procedures for handling, appropriate containers, and legal
aspects for animal transportation, is the IATA Live Animal
Regulations.
2. The forward cargo compartment is the only cargo
compartment for transporting live animals.
Note: The maximum number of kennels in the forward cargo
compartment is 4.
3. The limitations for the compartment are defined mainly by
temperature, carbon dioxide concentration and humidity, that
are a result of animal metabolism. These items are
compensated with the cargo compartment ventilation system,
that draws air from passenger cabin.
4. Forward Cargo Compartment Temperatures
External temperature at departure and the flight level flown
determine the temperature achieved in the forward cargo
compartment. The temperature into the cargo compartment
stabilize after a short period of time and they are listed in the
table below.

A. General
1. The use of the See GeeTM Calculator is a method of
determining CG of the aircraft with minimal or no seat
blocking.
2. The principle of the See GeeTM Calculator method is that the
cabin is divided into three sections; A, B, and C

Interchange
Section ERJ-170 ERJ-175
Aircraft

A Rows 1-6 Rows 1-6 Rows 1-4

B Rows 7-12 Rows 7-13 Rows 5-12

C Rows 13-18 Rows 14-19 Rows 13-20

3. The index of the aircraft is determined by the use of the See


GeeTM Calculator.
4. Section B is not shown on the See Gee Calculator because it
has no impact on the movement (forward or aft) of the center
of gravity.
5. The calculator is comprised of three parts.
6. The three parts include
a. The rectangular card
b. A large wheel which contains the index indicator line
c. A small wedge shaped cursor.
7. The index indicator line generally operates in the lower half of
the calculator along the index scale.
8. The cursor generally operates in the upper half of the
calculator along the loading scales.
Note: In case the See GeeTM wheel in the aircraft is missing or
unusable, the PIC must contact Dispatch who will
compute the C.G. index and trim setting for the load
manifest using the passenger and baggage information
provided by the flight crew.

Volume 5
9. Definition of Terms
a. BOI - Basic Operating Index
b. OMA - Operating Moment Arm
c. BOW - Basic Operating Weight
d. OM - Operating Moment in-lbs.
B. Basic Operating Index
1. The OMA is calculated according to the following formula:

OM/BOW =OMA

2. The basic operating index (BOI) is calculated according to the


following formula:

(OMA-542.8) X BOW/75,000 = BOI

3. 542.8 inches is the datum line in the Balance Arm system.


4. The BOI is then entered on the CG calculator by placing the
lower index line located on the wheel to the calculated index.
5. Crew, catering, cabin supplies, and other operating items are
included in the BOW and corresponding BOI.
6. This leaves passengers, cargo and fuel to be calculated.
C. Passenger Index
1. The table located on the back of the calculator is used to
determine the passenger weights.
2. The CG calculator is used to determine the index change due
to passenger loading.
3. The cursor is moved to the number of passengers in the
appropriate section and then the wheel is moved to re-center
the line on the cursor. This shows the index change for the
passengers in that section.
4. This is done for passengers seated in Section A, and Section C.
5. The upper portion of the passenger scale showing number of
passengers is used when using average passenger weights.
6. The calculator is designed conservatively enough to allow for
the small difference in the summer and winter weights (5 lbs.).

REV. 7, 15 AUG 2008 10-17


ERJ-170 Pilot Operating Handbook
Chapter 10 Weight & Balance
Section 3 Weight & Balance Calculations

Volume 5
7. The inner portion of the scale is in pounds. This scale can be
used for non-standard weight passengers, actual weights, or
children’s weight (82 lbs. summer, 87 lbs. winter).
8. If average passenger weights are being used and all seats are
full, then the “70 pax” line may be used.
9. Move the cursor to the 70 pax line and then re-center by
moving the wheel.
10. This shows the index change for all 70 passengers.
11. Flight Attendants
a. The FWD F/A and AFT F/A line on the ACM scale is the
mark for compensation of the forward and aft Flight Atten-
dant in the Flight Attendant seat. The F/A’s are included in
the BOI, however, the marks are provided to remove them
when an F/A is not required, such as training flights.
b. When the forward F/A jumpseat is deferred the Flight
Attendant must sit in seat 1A and if the rear F/A jumpseat
is deferred the Flight Attendant must sit in seat 18C.
c. You are required to account for the change in CG. First
remove the F/A from the jumpseat and then calculate the
CG change at 170 lbs. to section A for the forward F/A or
C for the aft F/A respectively.
Note: Whenever the cursor is moved, be sure to hold the wheel
as to not allow it to move.
D. Cargo Index
1. The forward and rear cargo compartments consists of one
section each.
2. The index for these sections is again determined by using the
CG calculator for each compartment.
3. The index change is determined by moving the cursor to the
amount of weight, in pounds, on its corresponding scale.
4. After moving the cursor, the wheel is then moved to re-center
the line on the cursor to show the index change.
5. Checked baggage weight tables are located on the back of
the Center of Gravity calculator.
6. The length of scales marked in “lbs.” may or may not
correspond to compartment weight limits and should not be
used to determine compartment limitations.

Note: The maximum forward cargo compartment capacity for
the ERJ-170 is 3020 lbs.
Note: The maximum rear cargo compartment capacity for the
ERJ-170 is 2270 lbs.
E. Fuel Index
Fuel is loaded using the same method as cargo and passengers.
The fuel scale is not linear. For fuel loads above 16,000 lbs., use
the “16,000 OR MORE” mark. For more information on the fuel,
see FUEL BURN OFF.
F. Forward Closet Index
The forward closet contains the onboard wheel chair which is
included in the BOW. Any additional item stored in the closet must
be considered in the weight and balance calculations.
The maximum weight limits are, unless placarded otherwise:
• Closet floor: 40 lbs.
• Coat hanger: 25 lbs.
G. Observer Index (ACM)
The observer weight is calculated at 190 lbs. year round. The
index change is determined using the CG calculator. The cursor
is moved to the ACM (Additional Crew Member) line and then the
wheel is moved to re-center the line on the cursor to show the
index change.
H. Passenger & Cargo Additions & Removals
1. To add passenger or cargo weight, use the same method of
moving the cursor to the weight added and then rotating the
wheel to re-center the cursor line.
2. To subtract passenger or cargo weight, start with the cursor at
the zero line.
a. Rotate the wheel until the cursor indicates the weight or
number of passengers being removed.
b. The new index is then found under the index indicator line.

I. Final Index (CG) & Fuel Burn Off
1. After all loading is accomplished and adjustments made with
the CG calculator, the Loaded Index (CG) is read under the
index indicator line.
2. To see where the CG is in the envelope, find the point where
the index indicator line intersects the total weight of the
aircraft.
3. The units of trim are also determined from this point.
a. Locate the green dotted trim line closest to the CG location
and note the % MAC number.
b. Then go to the “PITCH TRIM SETTING FOR TAKEOFF”
where the CG position (%MAC) and the flap setting for
takeoff intersect. This will give you the correct trim setting
for takeoff.
1) As an example your takeoff weight is 75,000 lbs. with
an index of -12.2 will give you a CG position (%MAC)
of 17, go to the green chart and for flap 1 takeoff the
trim setting would be 4.5.
c. All information involving % MAC and trim on the front of the
calculator is displayed in green.

J. Fuel Burn Off
1. All scales and lines on the calculator dealing with fuel are
displayed in blue.
2. After arriving at a satisfactory final index for takeoff, the fuel
burn off must be taken into account to ensure that the center
of gravity will be within limits for landing.
3. Fuel burn off below 16,000 lbs. will cause the index and CG to
move aft and must be taken into account for enroute and
landing operations.
a. Fuel burn cannot be “unloaded” like cargo or passengers
because the fuel scale is not linear.
b. To properly account for fuel burn you must “unload” all of
the fuel on board and then “reload” the amount to be left in
the tanks at landing.
c. For example, if the fuel load is 17,000 lbs. for takeoff and
the landing will be made with 4,000 lbs. remaining (13,000
lbs. burn off), then it is computed as follows:
1) Unload the total fuel by placing the wedge cursor on
the ZERO line and rotating both cursors counter
clockwise until the wedge cursor is over the “16,000
OR MORE” mark.
2) Then place the wedge cursor over the “4000” point
and rotate both cursors clockwise to put the wedge
cursor on the ZERO line. This will correctly show the
effect of the fuel burn.
d. An alternate method is to load the fuel last during the
calculations and look at the zero fuel index before calcu-
lating the fuel.
1) This will give you a tanks empty CG and will tell you
where your CG will be if forced to use all of your fuel.
2) Then spin in the fuel and check your legality for
takeoff.
3) If both the takeoff and landing fuel are more than
16,000 lbs., then the landing index will be the same as
the takeoff index, and only the change in weight need
to be accounted for.
CAUTION: When the final index is at or above a limit, it is required
to move payload, if feasible, to bring the center of
gravity more toward the center of the envelope.

K. Aft Limit & Inflight Movement
1. There are two aft limits displayed on the calculator.
2. Limit constraints to account for inflight movement of
passengers and crew are incorporated into the AFT LIMIT
WITH PAX line and the caution zone is computed from this
line.
3. The AFT LIMIT line is available for use when there are no
passengers on board and if crew movement in the aircraft is
restricted.
4. When operating between the AFT LIMIT WITH PAX and the
AFT LIMIT line the pilots and flight attendants are not allowed
to leave their seats and move aft in the aircraft.
5. There is also a red AFT LIMIT line defining a red shaded NO
TAKEOFF ZONE. Takeoff with the CG in this area is
prohibited. Operation in this area for inflight and landing is
allowed. Observe Caution Zone and inflight movement
restrictions when operating in this zone for inflight and
landing.
L. Load Planning for the ERJ-175
1. The ERJ-175 has an extended First Class cabin and is a tail
heavy aircraft. This aircraft will operate with the Zero Fuel
Weight CG in the Aft Caution Zone anytime the aircraft has
more than 70 passengers. Anytime the aircraft is fairly full, the
flight crew should plan the load using the following priority
whenever possible:
a. Plan the load so that Section B is filled with the maximum
number of passengers first.
b. Plan the load so that the forward portion of Section C is
filled next.
c. Plan the load so that the aft portion of Section C is filled
next.
d. Place the maximum number of checked bags in the
forward cargo bin before placing any checked bags in the
aft cargo bin.
e. Plan the load so that Section A is filled next.
Note: Whenever there are empty seats and the Zero Fuel
Weight CG is in the Aft Caution Zone, all empty seats in
each section must be aft. The assumption is that the CG
for each section is either neutral or forward of neutral.
Note: The priorities listed in this section are for planning
purposes only. Passengers may board the aircraft in any
order or sequence.

M. Caution Zones
1. If the zero fuel weight or gross takeoff weight index falls within
a caution zone, then first move the minimum number of
passenger(s) to the opposite zone to obtain an index between
the caution zones. That will give you a normal load index and
no further action is required.
a. For example, the gross takeoff weight index falls just within
the FWD CAUTION ZONE. By moving just one (1)
passenger from Zone A to Zone C, the index now falls
between the caution zones.
b. After accomplishing this movement, no further action is
required and the loading will be within limits. There is no
need to move other passengers within the zones whenever
the new index falls between the caution zones.
c. If, after the passengers are moved and the loading
problem is re-spun, the index still falls in the caution zone
then no further action is required and the loading will be
within limits.
2. If, after completely filling the opposite zone and the index still
falls within the caution zone, then comply with the zone’s
instructions.
a. For a final index in the FWD CAUTION ZONE, all empty
seats in Zone A must be forward.
b. For a final index in the AFT CAUTION ZONE, all empty
seats in Zone C must be aft.
3. Final index in the Caution Zone with all or no passenger seats
occupied
a. When all passenger seats are occupied or when none of
the passenger seats are occupied, then operation in the
Caution Zones is permitted without further action
1) As an example, during repositioning flights without
passengers, the caution zones may be ignored.
4. The caution zones are designed with certain loading
restrictions assumed.
a. While it would be difficult to load an aircraft that would
exceed the parameters of the caution zones, it is possible.
b. Generally, it is assumed, that, within a given section, the
passengers are distributed through out that section.
c. It is permissible to fill an entire section while another
section is empty, but not, for example, to fill the front three
rows in each section without filling some of the seats in the
aft portion of those sections.

Section 4 Weights & Indexes
A. Flight Crew and Flight Attendant Weight/Index
1. Flight Crew weight is 240 lbs. per crew member and this
includes their flight bag and overnight bag.
2. Flight Attendants weight is 210 lbs. and this includes one
flight bag per attendant for both F/A jumpseats and their
overnight bag.
3. The index for the flight crew and the forward and aft jumpseat
are calculated into the BOI.
4. Crewmembers should store their roller bags in the cabin by
placing one in Section A, 2 in Section B, and 1 in Section C.
No roller bags should be placed in the First Class Section
(above the seats in the first 2 rows of the aircraft). The bags
should be evenly distributed throughout the cabin.
5. The weight and location of the crew bags (30 lbs for roller
bags, 20 lbs for pilot flight bags, and 10 lbs for Flight Attendant
kit) are included in the BOW and BOI.
B. Observer Weight Index
1. Weight is 190 lbs. year round.
2. Change of aircraft index is determined by moving the cursor
to the ACM line and then re-centering the line by moving the
wheel. This shows the effect of the observer on the aircraft
index.
C. Passenger Weight Index
1. The average passenger weights:
Summer 190 lbs. (May 1 to Oct. 31)
Winter 195 lbs. (Nov. 1 to Apr. 30)
2. A table which shows the passenger weights is located on the
calculator.
Note: The passenger weights include 16 lbs. for one
permitted carry-on item and one personal item.
3. The change in aircraft index is determined by using the CG
calculator. Determine the number of passengers in each
section. Move the cursor to the number of passengers in
section A. Then move the wheel to re-center the line. Repeat
this for the number of passengers in Section C on the C scale.
Note: For unusual passenger loads i.e. sports teams, the
CG calculator is still used. In this case the lbs. scale
is used instead of the number of passenger scale for
each section.

D. Child Count
1. A person who has not reached their 13th birthday is
considered a child for weight and balance calculations. Lap
children are not counted.
2. The average child weight year round is 82 lbs. summer and
87 lbs. winter.
3. Whenever the LF-001 Load Report shows one or more
children in the passenger count, the load manifest prepared
by the flight crew must reflect the same number of children in
the weight and balance and CG calculation.
a. For the CG calculation, the child count requires a two step
process.
1) Step 1 - enter the passenger count for the zone (total
passengers minus the number of children).
2) Step 2 - enter the actual weight of the child count for
the zone (Number of Children X 82 pounds).
4. The Flight Attendants are responsible to provide the cockpit
crew with an accurate passenger AND child count for each
aircraft section. The flight crew will enter the number of
passengers and children in the respective field of the Load
Manifest.
E. Baggage Weight/Index
1. The effect on aircraft index due to cargo is computed using the
CG calculator. First, the amount of weight in pounds in the
FWD and AFT BAGGAGE section needs to be determined.
Then move the cursor to that amount on the baggage area
scale. Re-center the line by moving the wheel.
2. The index change due to carry-on baggage being placed in
the cargo area is determined in the same manner. On the
forward cargo scale, move the cursor to the weight of the
carry-on baggage that was placed in the forward cargo area.
Re-center the line by moving the wheel.
Note: Checked bag weight is 30 pounds.
Note: Carry-on bags that are collected planeside or removed
from the cabin and placed in the forward cargo
compartment are 30 pounds.
Note: Cargo tables are located on the back of the
See GeeTM calculator.

3. The First Officer will complete and sign the load manifest, and
the Captain will review the load manifest for accuracy. The
Captain retains overall responsibility of the aircraft loading
during its operation.
4. The load manifest is a two part form; one white and one
yellow.
a. The white copy will be carried by the crew. The white copy
will be discarded after the end of each flight leg.
b. The yellow copy will be retained at the departure station for
3 months.
5. The initial load manifest preparation will be accomplished by
the First Officer well before scheduled departure time. This
preparation consists of:
a. All information known at the time the initial data is entered
b. Any information not known at the time of initial data entry
(such as passenger load and/or cargo) will be entered into
the form at a logical time as the data becomes known.
c. Takeoff planning data is known as soon as ATIS is
received.

Section 1 Minimum Equipment List / Non-Essential Equipment


and Furnishings/ Configuration Deviation List (MEL/
NEF/CDL)
A. General
1. The purpose of the MEL and NEF is to authorize Shuttle
America to operate particular aircraft with equipment that is no
longer in operational condition.
2. Individual items contained within this MEL and NEF are
sequenced utilizing the ATA numerical system. Individual
items will address procedures for both operational and
maintenance personnel to follow in conjunction with Shuttle
America‘s Operations and Maintenance Manual procedures
as applicable.
3. The purpose of the CDL and NEF is to address items not listed
in the MEL that may be removed from an aircraft. The
lineations to the aircraft, once an item is removed, will be listed
on the flight release, similar to MELs.
Procedures used to defer an item listed in the CDL is identical
to the procedures for deferring MEL items. CDLs will be
tracked as if they were a category “D” MEL item (120 days).
NEF items are deferred as Category “P” items. Category “P”
deferral time limits are either specified in the NEF or default to
120 days excluding the calendar day in which it was deferred.

B. Discrepancies After Departure
1. A flight is considered to have departed when the aircraft
moves under its own power (forward or backward).
2. After this time, a discrepancy that arises will be evaluated by
the Flight Crew as to whether to continue the flight or return
for maintenance and/or operational procedures set forth in
the MEL/NEF/CDL to be implemented.
3. When an item fails prior to takeoff, that is listed in the MEL/
CDL as an “M” item, the aircraft must return to accomplish the
maintenance (M) procedure before the flight takes off.
4. Several things the Flight Crew will take into consideration
when evaluating the MEL/NEF/CDL item are:
a. How the newly identified item may be affected by existing
MEL/CDL’d items.
b. Evaluate flight conditions expected to be encountered
during this intended flight and how the identified item will
affect the safety of the flight.
c. Evaluate capabilities of the intended destination should
the identified item require deactivation procedures to be
implemented at the time of arrival.
5. Although a flight is considered to have departed as soon as
the aircraft moves under its own power, (forward or
backward), SAFETY is the predominant factor at all times
when considering Items a., b. and c. listed above, as to
whether the flight should be continued or terminated.
C. Distribution
1. For distribution or revision status of the MEL/CDL, contact the
Manager of Technical Publications at (317) 484-6038. (This is
also a Dialnet number).
2. The Manager of Technical Publications (or his/her designee)
distributes and monitors this MEL/CDL. Monitoring is
performed through the use of a tracking system and
Acknowledgement Letters which are returned to the Manager
of Technical Publications at the time of the MEL/CDL
distribution or revision.
Note: THE MINIMUM EQUIPMENT LIST WILL BE
KEPT IN A SEPARATE BINDER IN THE
AIRCRAFT.
3. The NEF list is maintained by Maintenance Control and is
available on the Company server or via fax or e-mail upon
request.

H. Emergency Lighting System
Emergency lighting consists of internal and external lights pow-
ered by four dedicated batteries connected to the ESS BUS. The
battery charge is sufficient to supply all emergency lights for
approximately 10 minutes. External emergency lighting is pro-
vided by each of the escape slides located at each of the four
doors of the aircraft.
Internal emergency lights comprise the exit locator signs, exit
marker signs, exit ID signs, cabin/cockpit emergency lights and
passageway emergency lights.
Passageway emergency lights are photo luminescent strips that
are charged prior to the first flight of the day through the interior
cabin lighting.
1. Flightdeck Control
a. The emergency lighting system is controlled by the EMER
LT switch on the overhead panel.
b. The switch has three positions, OFF, ARMED and ON and
is guarded to the ARMED position.
c. With the switch in the ARMED position, the emergency exit
lights will normally be extinguished.
d. If the power to the ESS BUS fails or if AC power has been
turned off, the emergency exit lights illuminate automati-
cally.
2. Cabin Control
a. The emergency exit lights may be illuminated by a button
on either the forward or aft flight attendant control panels.
b. This is an ON button and is guarded to prevent inadvertent
activation. For system testing, there is also an adjacent
TEST button.
c. Without activating the ON button, the lights are controlled
from the flightdeck.
d. With the button depressed, the Flight Attendant may over-
ride the flightdeck controls and illuminate all the emer-
gency lights.
e. Control from this panel is available in the event of auto-
matic control failure.

N. Emergency Exits
The ERJ-170 is equipped with a total of six emergency exits. All
four main cabin doors are emergency exits. In addition, the two
direct vision windows in the flightdeck are also designed as emer-
gency exits.
1. Cabin Doors (Main and Service)
a. The ERJ-170 is equipped with two main entry doors.
1) Both are located on the left fuselage, forward and aft.
2) Under normal operations, the forward main door is
used to board and deplane passengers.
3) Additionally, two service doors are located on the
right fuselage, forward and aft.
b. The door opening operation is manual. The system has a
mechanical assist. The door swings outward and forward
toward the aircraft nose.
c. Internal and external handles operate the door movement.
The door remains against the aircraft fuselage when fully
open, thereby leaving the entrance completely clear for
jetway use.
d. All doors have a sight window installed above the door
handle assembly.
e. All doors are equipped with an emergency evacuation
slide. The emergency evacuation slide is stowed in a
container at the lower part of the door.
f. The emergency evacuation slide is controlled by a “girt
bar” mechanism inside the door. The mechanism can be
manipulated manually by using the evacuation slide
handle.
g. When the door is opened from the outside, the emergency
evacuation slide release mechanism is automatically
disabled.
h. In inclement weather (i.e. visible moisture and/or visibility
less than one mile) or after the last flight of the day, the
vent flaps must be closed while on the ground (at the gate)
to prevent corrosion inside the door. The vent flap is
closed by moving the vent flap handle down after
disarming the door (ensure the indicator reads
“DISARMED”). On the last flight of the day, if the flight
crew closes the forward passenger door, ensure the vent
flap is closed using the exterior vent flap handle prior to
leaving the aircraft.

e. Door Emergency Opening

1) Emergency Power Assist:


In the event of an emergency opening the door in
emergency mode (evacuation slide is ARMED) will
activate the Emergency Assist System/Power Assist
that will fully open the door after lifting up on the main
internal handle all the way to the full up position.
Moving the handle to the full up position breaks a
small safety pin in the nitrogen actuator located in the
door and releases the nitrogen charge. After the
charge is released, the door will automatically move
to the full open position. The Emergency Assist
System is installed in all four (4) doors.

2) The following procedure should be used when Emer-


gency Power Assist is available:
Assess outside conditions
Grasp Main Cabin Door handle with both hands
and lift all the way up.
Grasp assist handle located on the side of the
door, push the door out and fully open by sliding it
forward until it locks into place against the
fuselage.
While grasping the assist handle, pull the red
inflation handle once. The manual inflation handle
will stay attached to the evacuation slide.
Continue to grasp the assist handle and proceed
with the evacuation procedures.
WARNING: When opening the door in Emergency Mode, ensure
to grasp the assist handle located to the side of the
door, as the door will open with extreme force.

Section 5 EPIC Load 17.5 Differences
Volume 5
Section 5 EPIC Load 17.5 Differences
A. Overview
The following is a summary of the differences the pilot will see when
flying an aircraft with EPIC Load 17.5 versus Load 17.2:
1. New FBW PBIT Clock - A new clock is incorporated into the
Flight Control synoptic page on the MFD to show the 20 hour
clock for both the Electrical PBIT test and the Hydraulic PBIT
test for the Fly By Wire (FBW) System. During initial power up
of the aircraft, the failure of the clock to re-set to 20 hours
indicates a failure of the FBW PBIT test.
2. New EICAS Message for FBW PBIT Test - A white FCL
CTRL TEST IN PROG EICAS message will be displayed
whenever the Electrical PBIT Test for the FBW System is in
progress.
3. New Default for Minimums Knob - Minimum default value
for the Baro Minimums display is changed from 5,000 feet to
2,000 feet.
4. Green Dot - Green dot for flap extension will be inhibited
above 20,000 feet.
5. Pitch Guidance for Takeoff - The pitch guidance (takeoff
crossbar) will not move after rotation but will give a consistent
target for the pilot to follow.
6. Gaps in Flight Plan for DIRECT TO with ABEAM - New
logic eliminates the gap that occurred in the active flight plan
when the Direct To with Abeam function is selected.
7. Improved RNAV Departure Performance - New airspace
model from Honeywell improves RNAV departure
performance and eliminates the requirement for a Bank
Factor value of 15.
8. VNAV Intermediate Level Offs -New logic retains original
cruise altitude target value regardless of intermediate level
offs using VNAV during the Climb-to-Cruise profile.
9. Rudder/Elevator Rate Limiter on Ground with Hydraulic
Power-Up -New logic implements a rate limiter on the ground
upon activation of hydraulic power so that the rudder and
elevator move smoothly to the neutral position.

10. Aileron Indication on the Synoptic Page -New logic
eliminates an error which occurred when the ailerons were
fully deflected but did not indicate properly on the Flight
Control synoptic page on the MFD.
11. FBW Rudder Pre-Flight Check - New logic eliminates the
requirement to accomplish the pre-flight rudder check at a
slow speed. All logic for a FLT CTRL NO DISPATCH EICAS
message due to quick rudder movement has been eliminated.
12. FUEL TANK LO TEMP EICAS Message - Moved from being
a cyan Advisory message on the EICAS to an amber Caution
message. The QRH procedure remains the same.
13. ENG 1 (2) FUEL SW FAIL EICAS Message - New logic will
trigger the ENG 1 (2) FUEL SW FAIL EICAS Advisory
message when all fuel pumps are off, the fuel pressure switch
does not indicate low pressure, and the defueling valve is
closed.
14. Erroneous stick shaker activation during takeoff -New
logic will eliminate an erroneous stick shaker during takeoff
with the loss of a single ADSP (smart probe).
15. FMS Speed - EADI Erroneous Speed Tape Indication -
New logic eliminates an error on the EADI display which
occurred when FMS speed is selected in Mach with the
airplane flying actual FMS speed (for example 0.78 Mach).
The flight path vector speed error tape incorrectly displayed a
down tape.
16. FMS Speed VLE Not Observed -New logic eliminates an
error which occurred when FMS speed is selected in Mach
and target speed exceeded the maximum landing gear extend
speed with the landing gear lever down.
17. Spurious FLT CTRL NO DISPATCH EICAS Message - New
logic to eliminate spurious FLT CTRL NO DISPATCH EICAS
messages if, during power up, the DC Bus Tie toggle switch is
in the off position, or if the control column is moved, or if the
rudder pedals are moved.
18. Spurious EMER LT BATT FAULT EICAS Message -New
logic to eliminate spurious EMER LT BATT FAULT EICAS
messages.
19. Spurious RADIO ALTIMETER Indications - New logic to
show an amber indication (instead of a green indication) when
one radio altimeter displays an RA of less than 2,500 feet
when the aircraft is actually higher than 2,500 feet AGL

when no real overheat condition exists.
22. Spurious APPR 2 NOT AVAIL EICAS Message - New logic
to eliminate spurious APPR 2 NOT AVAIL EICAS messages
while on the ground.
Section 6 SPDA 9.2 Upgrade Differences
A. Overview
The following is a summary of the differences the pilot will see
when flying an aircraft with the SPDA 9.2 Upgrade:
1. APU - It is no longer necessary to move the APU Master
selector from OFF to ON and back to OFF to clear the FADEC.
Turn the APU Master selector to ON, wait for the dashes on the
APU EICAS display to show numbers (FADEC active), then place
the APU selector directly to the START position, hold for 2
seconds, and then place the selector to the ON position. During
normal APU shutdown, the APU generator will remain connected
during the 2 minute cool-down period.
2. Ground Service Mode - It is no longer necessary to deselect
Ground Service Mode prior to selecting another electrical mode
such as GPU, APU, or Batteries. Direct transition from Ground
Service Mode to any other electrical mode will occur normally
with no EICAS messages (such as RAT FAIL or INVERTER
FAIL). In addition, the logic which created inadvertent RAT
deployments while on the ground was fixed.
3. Fuel Feed Fault - There will be no spurious Fuel 1(2) Feed
Fault EICAS messages during engine start. The logic for this
message has been re-programmed.
4. Electric Hydraulic Pumps - There will be no inadvertent
electric hydraulic pumps starting during the initial power up of the
aircraft. This should minimize the interruption of the flight control
PBIT test 3 minutes after AC electrical power is placed on the
aircraft.

when flying an aircraft with the FADEC 5.2 Upgrade:
1. Latched Messages - Engine FAIL indication on the N1 dial
and the ENG 1(2) FAIL Caution EICAS message will be latched
after an uncommanded engine shutdown.
2. Spurious Messages - There will be no ENG 1(2) REV PROT
FAULT EICAS Caution message when the thrust levers are
positioned between the idle and Min Rev positions for more than
5 seconds.
3. New FLEX Takeoff Parameters - The FADEC will now
command a FLEX takeoff all the way to CLB-2 limits and the
maximum assumed temp will be changed from 32 degrees (10
degrees and below at 1,000 feet) to 40 degrees. Performance
calculation procedures remain the same as they were with
FADEC Version 4.12.
4. Radio Altimeter Signal - The FADEC will now differentiate a
failed radio altimeter signal from a non-computed radio altimeter
signal. With version 5.20, Final Approach idle will be set as soon
as Approach is set.
5. ITT Overshoot - When the FADEC commands packs off for
any reason, it will incorporate a 5 second delay before increasing
the N1 to ECS OFF levels in order to eliminate an ITT overshoot.

Section 9 LOAD 19.3 DIFFERENCES
Volume 5
Note: With the simplified logic for auto-tune, and with the AD
requiring hard tuning of the frequency no longer valid (it
was terminated with EPIC Load 17.3), flight crews are
encouraged to utilize auto-tune for all ILS approaches.
With auto- tune, the frequency will not have to be hard
tuned when the approach brief is given. In the event that
auto-tune is utilized for the approach, the PM must
reconfirm that both nav radios are properly tuned and
identified within 25 nm of the airport prior to
commencing the approach (i.e. prior to intercepting the
localizer).
4. Identifier on the PROG Page 1 will no longer be displayed
when outside the service volume of the selected navaid. The
PM will have to re-check the identifier prior to starting any
approach when the Navaid that the approach is based on (i.e
an ILS approach) is selected early and the aircraft is outside
of the service volume.
Note: The FMS auto-tunes the localizer frequency for
localizer based approaches. For localizer auto-
tuning, frequency confirmation from the NAV
receiver is performed but the data is not checked by
the FMS. The pilot must rely on the primary
instrument flags to determine the validity of the
signals.
Q. Takeoff and Landing Pages Changed
1. Re-design of the Takeoff and Landing pages
a. BARO SET is displayed in “inHG”.
b. EPIC will verify that the V speeds are in a logical numer-
ical order. If they are not, the speed that is not logical will
be displayed in inverse video.
c. The pilot must set the proper flap setting in the MCDU on
the Perf T/O Page 2/3, LSK 1L, so that the flap setting in
the MCDU matches both the takeoff flap setting shown in
the Performance Attachment to the flight release (Aero-
Data TLR) and the flap setting shown on the EICAS.
d. The takeoff configuration warning will verify that the flap
setting selected in the MCDU is also the flap setting
shown on the EICAS. If they are not identical, the aural
“NO TAKEOFF FLAPS” will be activated upon pressing
the T/O CONFIG button.
e. If the actual takeoff weight is below the BOW, it will be
displayed in inverse video on the takeoff page.

R. Optimum V2
1. For LOAD 19.3, the takeoff guidance angle computation was
updated to prepare the system for optimum V2 takeoff, where
the takeoff guidance angle reference is varied according to
V2, SLAT/FLAP setting and takeoff weight.
2. The TLR from AeroData will provide the pilot with the planned
Takeoff Weight, the planned takeoff FLAP setting, and the
planned V2 must be entered on the FMS TAKEOFF pages,
and the T/O PITCH must be checked on the FMS TAKEOFF
page 3/3.
3. The next version of the computerized AFM will allow AeroData
to compute an optimized V2 which will also produce an
optimized takeoff pitch which can be verified on Page 3 of the
Takeoff Page.
a. The use of an optimized V2 and optimized takeoff pitch
will provide for a higher MTOW in certain conditions such
as taking off from a high altitude airport with high temper-
atures.
4. The “NO TAKEOFF FLAPS” aural warning logic is updated to
crosscheck the flap setting input on the FMS TAKEOFF page
2/3 and the actual flap position.
S. FGCS Priority Switching Modifications
1. PBIT checks the FGCS commands for 5 seconds during
power up so that maintenance will not be required to check the
FGCS every 600 flight hours.
Section 10 Load 19 RNAV/GPS Approaches
A. General
1. The ERJ-170 is authorized to conduct RNAV approaches that
provide lateral guidance to the runway threshold.
2. This FMS generated guidance can use a variety of sensor
inputs of which GPS is primary. The RNAV approach is a non-
precision approach using an MDA based on LNAV minimums.
Note: LPV minimums are not authorized.
B. Jeppesen Approach Plate Terminology
1. Jeppesen approach plates may be labeled RNAV (GPS),
RNAV, GPS, VOR or GPS, etc. In other words, if the title of the
approach contains RNAV or GPS and the approach is stored
in the nav database, then the approach may be flown.

REV. 4, 15 FEB 2008 11-45


ERJ-170 Pilot Operating Handbook
Chapter 11 Equipment and Systems
Section 10 Load 19 RNAV/GPS Approaches
Volume 5
Note: Pilot modifications to the stored procedures (to
include fixes, altitudes or angles) are not permitted.
2. The approach plate in the “PRE-APPROACH BRIEFING
INFORMATION” section, will list approach requirements. For
instance, “GPS or RNP - 0.3 required” means that if you have
GPS or no GPS, but your RNP is 0.3 NM or less, you are legal
to execute the approach. “DME/DME RNP - 0.3 not
authorized” means that if you do not have GPS, you are not
authorized to execute the approach.
C. RNAV Approaches
1. The PF will descend the aircraft using the VNAV button on the
flight guidance panel. The PM will monitor the aircraft to
ensure that all intermediate altitudes are properly maintained
throughout the approach.
2. VNAV Glide Path Approach Mode
a. A new VNAV non-precision approach mode was created
in Load 19.3 for commonality with ILS approach proce-
dures.
b. When the pilot selects an RNAV based approach with a
published constant glide path angle on the FMS and
presses the APP button on the Guidance panel, the GP
will be armed (GP in white on the FMA).
c. The Pilot Flying (or the PM on command of the PF) will
select APP when cleared for the approach by ATC and the
aircraft is within 30 Nm (radial distance) of the FAF.
1) This will arm the VGP mode.
2) When the VGP mode is armed a white diamond is
displayed above the FMS vertical deviation which
indicates the Glide Path reference before the inter-
ception.
3) The VGP mode is engaged when the airplane is
within 5 Nm of the FAF.
4) Once the VGP mode is engaged (GP in magenta on
the FMA), the pilot should select the missed
approach altitude and the FD will disregard the PSA.
d. The use of temperature compensation is prohibited when
using the VGP approach mode. If the pilot is using
temperature compensation for the RNAV approach, only
FPA or V/S may be used for vertical guidance.

ERJ-170 Pilot Operating Handbook
Chapter 11 Equipment and Systems
Section 10 Load 19 RNAV/GPS Approaches
Volume 5
3. For approaches utilizing LNAV/VNAV minimums, the flight
crew will input the lowest altitude that the aircraft is cleared to
in the AFCS via the guidance panel. Both pilots must verbally
re-confirm all intermediate altitudes by cross-checking the
altitudes listed in the Jeppesen Chart with the altitudes listed
in the right hand column of the Active Flight Plan in the MCDU.
The PIC is responsible to ensure that all altitude crossing
restrictions are met when the VNAV button is engaged. If the
FAF altitude is a hard altitude, then the VGP glide path must
be intercepted at the FAF hard altitude.
D. Missed Approach Procedures
1. The Missed Approach Procedure for an RNAV Approach is
the same as for an ILS Approach.
E. Required Navigational Performance (RNP)
1. Currently, all published RNAV approaches have an RNP of
0.3 NM which is depicted on the approach plate. Selection of
the RNP is automatic in the ERJ-170/175 Honeywell FMS and
will change from the terminal setting of “1.0” to the approach
setting of “0.3” two miles from the final approach fix. RNP is
displayed on the PFD HSI and on the PROG page (1).
2. Estimated Position Uncertainty (EPU) is displayed on the
PROG page (1). If the EPU exceeds the RNP, a DGRAD
message is displayed on the PFD HSI. By switching the SRC
(the FMS source), the EPU may be within limits and the
approach continued.
F. Discontinuing the Approach
The approach must be discontinued if any of the following mes-
sages annunciate:
1. The DGRAD message on the PFD
Note: The SRC (the FMS source) may be switched to maintain
the EPU within limits. After accomplishing this switch
and the ensuring DGRAD message is not annunciated,
the approach may be continued.
2. GPS RAIM ABOVE LIMIT, GPS RAIM UNAVAILABLE, or
GPS FAILED messages on the MCDU.
3. RNAV/GPS approach procedures are flown using the APP
mode of the AFCS system.

4. Decision Altitude (Height) (DA(H)) - The DA(H) is the point at
which the pilot commences the vertical portion of the missed
approach. In some instances, the lateral portion of the missed
approach may require the aircraft to proceed to the missed
approach fix before commencing a turn.
5. The appropriate RNAV/GPS procedure must be programmed
into the EPIC System via the NAV INDEX / ARRIVAL page
prior to commencing any RNAV/GPS approach.
G. Automation
1. The Autopilot (A/P) is routinely used during RNAV/GPS
approaches.
2. The PF selects the respective autopilot, in preparation of the
approach.
H. Alternate RNAV/GPS Configuration
1. It is not uncommon to intercept the final approach coarse and
glideslope and be cleared for the RNAV/GPS approach while
still a considerable distance from the runway.
2. When it is prudent to delay configuring the aircraft for landing,
the following general guidelines should be used:

Section 11 EPIC Load 21.2 Differences
Volume 5
Section 11 EPIC Load 21.2 Differences
A. Overview
EPIC Load 21.2 incorporates all of the changes listed in Bulletin
E170-07-05, EPIC Load 19.3 Differences, plus the following items:
1. White Cross - The cyan rectangle showing the hot sections of
the PFD and MFD has been replaced with a white maltese
cross that works in the same manner as a mouse pointer on a
PC Computer. The cross is controlled via the CCD.
2. APU ALTITUDE EXCEED - This is a new EICAS message
that will be displayed anytime the APU is running and the
aircraft is above 33,500 feet.
3. HYD 3 PUMP A NOT ON - This EICAS message will no longer
be displayed during engine shutdown.
4. Green Dot - The Green Dot will be displayed above 20,000
feet and should be used as an indicator of Drift Down speed
at those altitudes. Below 20,000 feet, the Green Dot will
continue to be used for ideal flap selection speed indication.
The flap speed will be based solely on aircraft weight and slat/
flap setting. The Green Dot will no longer oscillate with
changes to bank angle or due to turbulence.
5. Chevron on an EICAS Message - A chevron sign (>) is
displayed to the left of certain EICAS messages to assist the
pilot in determining the primary cause for multiple messages.
For example, an MAU 1A FAIL will trigger multiple EICAS
messages, and the EICAS will show a chevron by the MAU 1A
FAIL message to assist the pilot to determine which message
triggered the EICAS event.
6. FLT CTRL BIT EXPIRED - This EICAS message will no
longer be displayed as a spurious message on January 1st. In
addition, the clock on the Flight Control Synoptic page has
been changed from 20 hours to 50 hours.
7. FMS Speed - The misbehavior of the FMS Speed Knob for
approach speeds has been fixed. Now, the FMS will go into
the approach mode when the aircraft is within 15 nm of the
destination airport and is below 3,000 feet AGL. With this fix,
the restriction on using Manual Mode below 10,000 feet on the
Descent is removed. The pilot may use the FMS Approach
Speeds displayed on Page 2/3 by either accepting the default
value (Green Dot Speed) or by entering in a speed that is
equal to or greater than the Green Dot Speed. The
recommended speeds for normal operations is: Clean - 210,
Flaps 2 - 180, Flaps 3 - 160, Flaps 5 - Vapp or 140 if doing a
flaps full landing, Flaps 6 - Vapp.

Chapter 11 Equipment and Systems
Section 11 EPIC Load 21.2 Differences
Volume 5
8. Bank Factor - The default Bank Factor is now set to 15
degrees. It is no longer necessary for the flight crew to check
for a bank factor of 15 degrees prior to flying an RNAV
departure.
9. DES NOW - During VNAV, the FMS will display the message
DES NOW approximately 50 nm from the TOD. If the pilot
elects to begin the descent early, the FD will command a
descent of 1,000 fpm until the PTH is intercepted. If the DES
NOW is displayed after the TOD, the FD will command a
descent of 1.5 degrees greater than the planned angle of
descent (e.g. 3.0 degrees will go to 4.5 degrees) until the PTH
is intercepted. If the 1.5 degree addition is not enough, the
FMS will display UNABLE PATH INTERCEPT on the
scratchpad.
10.Direct To - The Direct To will display an additional page with
4 options available to the pilot: Direct, Active, Missed
Approach, and Alternate. The Missed Approach and
Alternate option will only be displayed if the waypoint selected
is also part of the route of flight for the missed approach or
part of the route of flight to the alternate. Generally speaking,
these two options will normally be blank. The Direct option
should be selected when the pilot wants to proceed directly to
that waypoint immediately. A discontinuity in the flight plan
will be inserted after the selected waypoint and the pilot can
edit the rest of the active flight plan at a later time. The Active
option should be selected when the pilot wants to retain the
active flight plan and this will be the option used most during
normal operations.
11.EXCEEDS CEILING ALTITUDE - This message will be
displayed in the FMS scratchpad whenever the pilot selects
an altitude higher than the FMS computed maximum altitude.
12.VNAV and FMS Speeds - The FMS will no longer command
a speed higher than the barber pole speed during takeoffs
using VNAV procedures.
13.FUEL USED - The fuel used indication is automatically reset
by the FMS upon the start of the first engine. The First Officer
will no longer have to manually accomplish this task as part of
the Parking Checklist Flow (POH Page 4-192).
14.Oxygen Indication - The oxygen indication will no longer
show a scale pointer on the Status Page of the MFD, it will
only show the digital indication for the psi number. However,

REV. 4, 15 FEB 2008 11-54


ERJ-170 Pilot Operating Handbook
Chapter 11 Equipment and Systems
Section 11 EPIC Load 21.2 Differences
Volume 5
all color coding and all values for normal operation remain the
same.
15.VGP - The VGP indication will remain inhibited until the next
EPIC Load (EPIC Load 21.3 which is scheduled for release in
March).
16.Temperature Compensation - The temperature
compensation for RNAV approaches is inoperative with Load
21.2, but is scheduled to be fixed with the next EPIC Load.
Any RNAV approaches that require temperature
compensation (as shown on the Jeppesen approach chart)
cannot be utilized for any flight operation.
17.SPDA Block 11.1 - Aircraft with SPDA Software Block 11.1
upgrade will have a reduction in spurious EICAS messages
including: 1) The SPDA FAIL EICAS message will extinguish
after the SPDA channel is restored. 2) Spurious messages for
RAT FAIL and windshield heat fail will be minimized during
initial power up sequence. 3) Spurious messages for FUEL
FEED 1 (2) FAULT EICAS will be minimized.

A. General
1. The DAC International electronic flight bag system (EFB) is a
touch screen computer utilized as a multi-function flight
information display unit. The system stores and displays
charts, plates, and manuals, replacing paper documents
carried by pilots aboard aircraft. The EFB can also perform
other functions useful in flight deck management.
2. GEN-X is the hardware component of the EFB. GEN-X is
comprised of the display unit and the remote processor unit.
These are both designed specifically as airline avionics
components.
3. GEN-X is designed to turn on and off with aircraft power. If
both busses are off, as in normal aircraft shutdown, the
system goes to battery for one minute while it performs a
normal Windows shutdown. The amber light will show during
this time.
4. Power to the display unit may be shut off when the aircraft
power is on by pressing the on/off button. The remote
processor unit will remain on and available for immediate use
once display power is turned back on. Under normal
conditions, the on/off button backlight color is blue. When the
internal emergency battery is powering the EFB, the on/off
button backlight is amber. The last page viewed will display
when display power it is turned on again.
5. A USB port is located at the bottom left edge of the display for
loading chart data updates manually through the use of a
thumb drive. The USB port will only recognize valid updates.
6. GENESYS EFB software is specifically designed for use on
the GEN-X hardware touch screen display. GENESYS is
designed to be user friendly yet powerful in its ability to
perform EFB functions. These functions include the display of
charts and plates, manuals, and other items.

I. Updating Chart Data
1. Chart data updates are loaded prior to becoming effective.
During the time interval between the loading of the new chart
data and its effective date, the EFB continues to store and to
use the prior version of the chart.
2. Switching over from an older collection to a newer collection
of data is done all at once with all EFB data – charts, plates,
and manuals. Switchover is done automatically when the
User Login is completed.
3. For the duration on a User’s Login Session, no new data is put
into the Active area, unless the user touches the Reload icon.

4. If the effective date for any new data is reached in mid-flight


(i.e. between the time of the User Login and the end of the
flight), a Reload icon (an orange triangle marked with an R)
appears in the upper right corner of the screen to notify the
pilot it is advisable to load the updated version of the charts.
5. When the pilot taps the Reload icon, the EFB software checks
for and selects the newer versions of all data files in use at
that time, not just the one that is currently displayed. A
message will pop up to confirm a successful switchover.
6. If this version check detects any data file deletions affecting
the files currently in use, a message will pop up as a warning.
The plate will not be removed until the pilot again pushes the
orange triangle marked with an R to confirm deletion.
7. At the end of the flight, the outdated charts are purged from
the EFB. All data updating activities are logged in the EFB log
file.
