Great video! Very detailed 😄 I'm waiting for the next E175 tutorials! Since it does not have VNAV yet, and we have to calculate manually the TOD, where can I see the distance to the destination airport?!
The easiest place to find distance is in the middle of the Map page of the MFD. There is a progress box that shows distance and ETA for the next waypoint and the destinatjon.
How do you select 100s instead of 1000s on the altimeter? I've searched forums, but they're suggesting things that wont apply to the plane I'm flying. There's no outer turning knob or whatever to change from 1000 to 100 or vice versa. I had a FL350 cruising speed, but couldnt set it because for some reason, mine was stuck at *900 (33900/34900,...)
Ideally, I should have used VNAV if it wasn't unavailable. V/S mode is actually better for maintaining a more precisely targeted descent when you are trying to meet certain restrictions. FLCH, while it does maximize the rate of descent, is very slow to reach and monitor what the target rate is. Also, any small changes in wind result in big variations in the descent rate. FLCH is good when you need a big but relatively imprecise descent. Because I had so many restrictions, I went with V/S mode.
Hello Captain, Thanks for the videos, I watched all parts. I would like to ask a few more questions if you dont mind. 1) How do you type into the FMS a ROUTE OFFSET? Can you give an example, please? For example 3.5Nm LEFT. 2) If you have an altitude constraint that says you have to be: Higher than 13000ft but lower than 14000ft, how do you type it in? I saw how it is done in Airbus and Boeing, but not in Embraer. 3) When do you use CLB1, if you use most of the time CLB2? Does the CLB2 change to CLB1 automatically, when you pass a certain altitude? I know that in Boeing aircrafts, when you climb with CLB1 or CLB2, at 15000ft it automatically climbs with normal CLB. 4) When you want to make a Step Climb, you can set the increment in the FMS, for example 2000ft or 4000ft ect. Will there be a S/C symbol on the MFD, similar like in Boeing? 5) Is it allowed to arm LNAV and VNAV before Takeoff? 6) What does the function RW POS mean? I heard that, wenn the aircraft is on the runway and the pilots activate RW POS in the MCDU, that a new calculation will be done from the Runway as reference. Is that correct? 7) Is that correct that during taxi with two engines it is not allowed to use more than 40% N1 in Embraer, except during SETO or SETI. And if you do so it needs to be documented? In a JustPlanes Video, a female EMB-190 CPT of Royal Jordanian said that. 8) During Engine Start the pilots activate a timer, what is the time limit to stop the engine start? For example during hanging N1 ect. Are there different time limits for engine start? For example during cold conditions? 10) British Airways Cityflyer uses the EMB-190 for flights to London-City. Is there any special regulation for Steep approaches? Is there an aural warning like in the A318 or A220-100/300? In the A318 you could hear: STANDBY STANDBY FLARE In A220 you hear: STANDBY FLARE STANDBY FLARE 11) Is there an automatic V1 Callout in the Embraer jets? Thank you and I hope you like to answer a few of these questions.
Wow. Glad I helped and glad I inspired lots of questions. Allow me to do my best. 1) Lateral offsets. I had to look this up because I never used this in 6 years. Its on RTE page 1. 5L key is 'OFFSET'. Type in L/Rxx For example L2 for Left 2 miles. 2) Like Airbus, there is no way for a PILOT to insert a 'Window', that is Above10000Below13000. You can only do At, AtOrAbove, AtOrBelow. Windows can only be retrieved from the database. Incidentally, enter an altitude in the 1R button of the FPL page to enter a constraint. Append an A or B for AtAbove or AtBelow. For example, 13000B is 13,000 or below. 3) Our company was very insistent that CLB1 only in the rarest of cases. Perhaps some weird terrain or ATC constraint, or absolutely necessary to clear some traffic. But avoid it as much as possible. And yes, CLB1 and CLB2 do converge at around 28000 I believe. 4) There is no optimized/suggested step climb. You can insert a manual step by entering an altitude on your FPL page with an S for Step. For example 350S on the right column would insert a step to FL350. The step will appear on the vertical profile on the MFD, not on the map. 5) It is possible to arm NAV and VNAV before departure. On version 27, they automatically arm and must be *disarmed* for manual departures. Our company policy didn't like VNAV on prior to 1000', so we could engage it at 1000' in lieu of FLC mode. 6) I am unfamiliar with RW POS. Can you point it out to me and I can try and figure it out? 7) 40% N1 max for taxi is not a hard limit in the manual, but it is highly recommended. Above 40% at low taxi speed, there is a good chance of ingesting FOD into the engines due to their design and relatively close position to the ground. 8) Starter limits: - Attempts 1 & 2: 90 seconds ground (120 seconds flight) followed by 10 sec cool down. - Attempts 3, 4, 5: 90 seconds ground (120 seconds flight), 5 minute cool down. The limits do not change for rain or snow or cold. Just air vs ground. 10) I don't know anything about Steep Approach procedures. Our planes were not equipped and we had no such destinations. 11) There is no automatic V1 callout. That's what the F/O is for. Thanks for the great questions! Stay tuned for more E175 videos!!!!
Oh yes. The Early Access release happened just last month and I expect it will be around a year to really get this project up to a "Full" version, based on how realistic they want this project to be.
If I read the aom correctly, and you use 'des now' to begin the descent, it will descend at 1,000 feet a minute until it intercepts the vnav profile. At that point, it will begin following the vnav profile. Did I understand it correctly? I'm flying the FeelThere version of this aircraft. Thanks a bunch!
That is exactly correct. I highly recommend DES NOW on every top of descent if only for 5 miles just to smooth the top of descent. Otherwise the aircraft easily overspeeds before the thrust makes it back to idle. You can also activate DES NOW mode by activating VNAV when you are not in ALT mode. Just tap the VS button to go into VS mode, then tap the VNAV button and the VNav will be reactivated in Des Now mode. I am not certain if the FeelThere or Flight Sim Studios supports Des Now.
@@srmj71 As I think more about it, yes FeelThere may not have DES NOW. They model the older software version, Load 24. It did not have a good VNAV system. That was one of the major improvements for Load 27.
Currently in training for the 175 with Envoy. Great video. Thank you.
Thanks for these videos - they fly this airplane out of my town Wenatchee to Seattle on almost a daily basis.
Great tutorials. Could you show us how to add a change of arrival runway and STAR mid flight?
Thanks Nabs…really appreciate the tutorials. 😊👍
Thanks. I regret to say there is a delay with part 8. The current beta has performance issues and I cant fly it. Hopefully the next update fixes that.
When it comes to airspeed limitations, don’t forget to tell people about the different speeds when you’re in specific air spaces
Great video! Very detailed 😄

Hey there, I'm wondering how I can get my waypoints to populate on the vertical profile on MFD, if this is even possible in the real e175?
Great tutorial.
Just one question, why do you use V/S vs FLCH when you start descending towards 6000ft from cruise altitude ? Thanks
Ideally, I should have used VNAV if it wasn't unavailable.
V/S mode is actually better for maintaining a more precisely targeted descent when you are trying to meet certain restrictions. FLCH, while it does maximize the rate of descent, is very slow to reach and monitor what the target rate is. Also, any small changes in wind result in big variations in the descent rate. FLCH is good when you need a big but relatively imprecise descent. Because I had so many restrictions, I went with V/S mode.
Hello Captain,
Thanks for the videos, I watched all parts.
I would like to ask a few more questions if you dont mind.
1)
How do you type into the FMS a ROUTE OFFSET?

For example 3.5Nm LEFT.
2)
If you have an altitude constraint that says you have to be:
Higher than 13000ft but lower than 14000ft, how do you type it in?
I saw how it is done in Airbus and Boeing, but not in Embraer.

6)
What does the function RW POS mean?
I heard that, wenn the aircraft is on the runway and the pilots activate RW POS in the MCDU, that a new calculation will be done from the Runway as reference.
Is that correct?
7)
Is that correct that during taxi with two engines it is not allowed to use more than 40% N1 in Embraer, except during SETO or SETI. And if you do so it needs to be documented?

During Engine Start the pilots activate a timer, what is the time limit to stop the engine start?
For example during hanging N1 ect.
Are there different time limits for engine start? For example during cold conditions?
10)
British Airways Cityflyer uses the EMB-190 for flights to London-City.
Is there any special regulation for Steep approaches?
Is there an aural warning like in the A318 or A220-100/300?
In the A318 you could hear:
STANDBY STANDBY FLARE
In A220 you hear:
STANDBY FLARE STANDBY FLARE
11)
Is there an automatic V1 Callout in the Embraer jets?
Thank you and I hope you like to answer a few of these questions.

Hi
Are you type rated E175?

Hello
Are you type rated E175?
@turarismailov449 no. Just a flight sim enthusiast.
