Full E-Jet Family Now Approved For US Ops
ANN learned Friday the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has
issued the type certificate for the Embraer 195 jet.
“I would like to highlight the efforts and commitment, not
only of the team that participated in this particular certification
process, but of all employees involved in the entire E-Jets
development program. This brave group of people was able to
accomplish a remarkable job in a record time,” said Mauro
Kern, Embraer Executive Vice President, Airline Market. “With
the FAA certificate for the Embraer 195, all four E-Jets are now
certified by the world’s three main aviation safety
agencies.”
As ANN reported, the largest
aircraft ever produced by Embraer received the original
certification by the Brazilian National Civil Aviation Agency
(Agência Nacional de Aviação Civil - ANAC) and
the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) certification last
year.
The E-Jets basic configurations certified by ANAC, EASA and FAA
are exactly the same, and do not require any aircraft changes when
moving airplanes from one geographical region to another, which is
a drawing card for leasing companies and a plus to the airplane
residual value.
Embraer says its 195 is the most efficient 110-seat aircraft
currently flying, having three major applications: low-load factor
narrow body flights, an excellent alternative for low-cost
operations in medium density markets, and a cost-effective
substitute for old jets. It has a maximum seating capacity of 122
passengers, a range of up to 2,200 nautical miles (4,077 km), and
burns up to 45% less fuel than the previous jets’
generation.
