Regulator Seeks Input On Enhanced Takeoff System For E195-E2 Jets

The Federal Aviation Administration has proposed new safety requirements for Embraer’s Enhanced Takeoff System, or E2TS, on the E195-E2 jet. The system automates the takeoff process, including rotation and initial climb, and is designed to reduce pilot workload and improve safety. Embraer unveiled the technology at the Farnborough International Airshow in July 2024, highlighting its potential to increase range and reduce runway distance required for takeoff. The FAA is seeking public comments on the proposal through November 27, 2026, as reported by Aviation News.
