Hey guys...
here's a few tips i found useful for myself...
for the descent part itself i use 3.5 to 3.7 degrees FPA until 21 NM from the first app waypoint, after that i reduce the FPA manually to 2.5 to 2.4, that way the plane will decrease speed in a very good rate, and you're gonna be able to descend at idle power until 1500 or 1750 feet..the best part of all is that you won't have to use speedbrakes if you use this little tip.. For the landing part, make sure to always monitor the autothrottle movements under turbulent air...it tends to be a little bit ''lazy'' as you may say...
.. I always kind round it at 55% of N1 for flaps 5 and 60% for flaps full... for flaps 5 i start the power off at 40 feet RA and for full at 30 to 25 feet...( E190), flaps 5 is a good call for turbulent apps.. Hope it helps...Enjoy the Embraer!
