Embraer 195

Hi All,

Just a general question to EMB195 flight crew....

What's it like to fly?

Sorry for the general and unspecific nature of this question, but I work with/in them every day and having just got my CPL am intrigued what they are like to work with from the sharp end. I keep meaning to ask one of the pilots at work but don't really want to disturb them in between turn around's, they're busy enough as it is so any input on here gratefully received.

(Apologies if this should really be in the Tech section, it's just more of a general interest than a specific tech query about an aircraft system or alike.)

Cheers

It's very nice indeed thanks.

Logical, neat and easy to operate. Ridiculously easy actually. Plenty of power for the type of ops we conduct, and the pax and CC love it as much as we do.

Only real bugbears are that the flight deck is slightly too small, it has a choppy ride in turbulence/crosswinds and the windshear detection system is probably a bit on the sensitive side.
