Regulator Sets Conditions for Enhanced Takeoff System
The Federal Aviation Administration has proposed special certification conditions for Embraer’s automatic takeoff system, known as the Embraer Enhanced Takeoff System, or E2TS, for the E195-E2 aircraft. The system automates pitch and bank control during takeoff, aiming to improve performance consistency. The proposed conditions address issues such as rotation speed and takeoff distance, and comments are open until November 27. The development was first reported by Air Data News.
