In an important milestone for Embraer’s E2 programme, the E190-E2 has received EASA (European Aviation Safety Agency) certification for Steep Approach, a requirement to operate at London City Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

London City Airport sits on the doorstep of the city\u2019s global financial district and is known as a premier business airport, but also as a key short-haul hub for destinations in continental Europe because of its convenience and speedy passenger experience. However, its location means operating aircraft must be compatible with the airport\u2019s steep approach and short runway; meeting strict noise regulations for the surrounding communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In certification testing, EASA figures confirmed the E190-E2 has the lowest noise levels among all new generation single aisle aircraft and will be the only jet operating at LCY certified to ICAO\u2019s strict Chapter 14 regulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steep approach certification, which enables increased descent angles of up to 5.5 degrees, reduces noise pollution for the surrounding communities. The system is enabled using a special software upgrade and the installation of a corresponding \u2018Steep Approach\u2019 switch on the cockpit control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alison FitzGerald, Chief Operating Officer, London City Airport, said, \u201cWe are delighted that this summer the Embraer E2 will join the London City family. Our investment in eight new Code-C aircraft stands was made with this aircraft in mind. And it\u2019s a game changer for London City as it will be able to handle more passengers, offer an expanded range and do all of this whilst being quieter and more fuel efficient. For us, it represents another milestone in more sustainable aviation and I look forward to seeing more of these aircraft across our ramp in the years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cesar Pereira, Vice President EMEA, Embraer Commercial Aviation, said, \u201cEmbraer aircraft represent 70% of aircraft movements at this iconic airport, in the heart of one of the world\u2019s greatest cities. This is a source of great pride for Embraer, London City feels like home. We look forward to E190-E2s joining the Embraer jets already flying from London City with British Airways City Flyer, KLM Cityhopper, LOT, Alitalia, and Portugalia.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to the cockpit commonality between the E190 and the E190-E2, pilots already cleared for LCY operation need no simulator based steep approach training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
