Embraer E195-E2 certified by ANAC, FAA, and EASA

At a ceremony at the company's facilities in São José dos Campos, Brazil, Embraer received the type certificate for the E195-E2 from three regulatory authorities: the Brazilian Civil Aviation Agency (Agência Nacional de Aviação Civil – ANAC); the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA); and European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). The E195-E2 is the biggest of the three E-Jets E2 family of commercial airplanes and the largest commercial aircraft Embraer makes.

The E195-E2 will enter service in the second half of 2019 with Azul Linhas Aéreas Brasileiras. Binter Canarias, of Spain, will also receive its first E195-E2 in 2019.

Embraer used two prototype aircraft in the E195-E2 certification campaign, one for aerodynamic and performance tests, the other for the interior and validation of maintenance tasks.

“Just like the E190-E2, we once again obtained type certification simultaneously from three major world regulatory authorities,” said Paulo Cesar de Souza e Silva, Embraer president and CEO. “This is another great achievement from our engineering and program teams.”

“Our flight tests confirmed that the aircraft is better than its original specification. Fuel consumption is 1.4% lower than expected – that’s 25.4% less fuel per seat compared to the current-generation E195. Maintenance costs are 20% lower,” said John Slattery, president & CEO, Embraer Commercial Aviation.

The E195-E2’s maintenance interval of 10,000 flight hours for basic checks and no calendar limit for typical E-Jet operations means an additional 15 days of aircraft utilization in 10 years compared to current-generation E-Jets.

Compared to the first-generation E195, 75% of E195-E2 aircraft systems are new. The E195-E2 has 3 additional seat rows. The cabin can be configured with 120 seats in two classes, or up to 146 in single class.

E195-E2 performance targets were to be similar to the E195 but with more payload (12 more passengers). Maximum range is 2,600nm with a full passenger load, 600nm more than the E195.

At max. take-off weight (MTOW), the E195-E2 requires only 1,800m compared to 2,180m for the E195.
