- (Filmed on iPhone so I apologize for any viewing quality issues!) It’s been a pretty long time since I last posted anything on this channel so today after flying a maintenance reposition flight up to Boston MA I recorded a little cockpit overview of the new aircraft I’m flying, the Embraer E175 (ERJ-170-200LR). I’ve been flying the E175 for a large US regional airline for the past year and a half and I’ve absolutely loved every second of it! This video is just a quick overview up front while I was passing some time waiting for the next flight, but maybe in the future I’ll make something a little more in depth? Let me know what you think! Thanks for watching, I hope you enjoyed and maybe even learned something!
Thanks for the flight deck tour. I am a cadet at SkyWest, just starting out my aviation journey. I practiced medicine for 24 years, and decided to change career when I turned 50.
That’s awesome! Hopefully you get a chance to fly the 175 then! Absolutely fantastic jet and sounds like you’re on a great path!
@@USAF88TC question, why is the spot where the auto brake selector switch just a blank panel?
@@nickjones3974 So the E-jets work a lot like buying a car, you can pay extra for extra features or pay less and leave some out. The Autobrakes are an optional feature. The company I was flying for paid for them on some planes and then saved money on others by not. This airplane was inherited from Compass when they folded and Compass didn’t pay for any of their planes to come with it so the spot on the panel for the selector stays a blank panel that can be removed and switched out if they ever decided to later install the system.
@@USAF88TC thanks for explaining it in an easy to understand way
Awesome to hear, at 31 with a family and mortgage I dream of flying too. Fortunately/unfortunately sales has been good to me
Nice video! Thanks for the view around !
Thanks for filming in portrait mode.
Tyler, long time follower- thanks a million for this awesome video! Hope to one day fly this “beast” myself. Maybe into KCLT… very informative. All the best and none the less! Cheers
Hi Tyler. I was looking on CZcams for videos about the plane Cam will be flying and your's was the second hit! Thanks for posting. I enjoyed watching it.
Good to hear from you Mr. Davis! This is the one! He’s gonna love flying it, she’s an absolute dream to fly and makes it easy!
FADEC is an acronym for Full Authority Digital Engine Control, a computer-managed aircraft ignition and engine control system used in modern commercial and military aircraft to control all aspects of engine performance digitally, in place of technical or analog electronic controls.
Lovely office
Very nice video, thanks for sharing. :D
Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen from the flight deck, this is your captain Drake speaking. I, along with first officer Tyler Crandall, would like to welcome you aboard American airlines flight xxxx to Boston. Flight time will be 2 hours 24 minutes at an altitude of 35,000 feet. current weather in Boston is mostly cloudy skies temperature of 34 degrees. we'll be pushing from the gate here momentarily so please find your seats and fasten your seatbelts as quickly as possible so we can have an on time departure. We have two flight attendants on board mainly for your safety and comfort if you need anything along the way just let us know. Once again thank you for choosing American Airlines, welcome aboard.
Nice one!
Didn’t know the e-jets had a HUD, rad.
Yep! It's an option on all the E-Jets. I'm currently flying the ERJ-190 with the HUD and I have to say that it is a very nice touch and a helpful tool to have!
@@USAF88TC I can only imagine!
Why does it take so long for the thrust reversers to become effective in these? Seems like they are almost stopped before they come alive.
Not 100% sure how to answer this but I can say that the airplane does a really nice job slowing just with the wheel brakes and aerodynamic braking / spoilers so maybe you’re frequently seeing pilots delaying the application of reverse while setting it down? The reversers don’t unlock until weight is fully on the wheels so if a pilot is holding it off a long time it may take a while for the sensors to kick in and unlock the reversers and then they only seem to be deployed for so short because the aircraft slows so quickly and must have the reversers stowed by 60 knots!

ist have electrical engine starters or using air system to start the engines?
I guess technically both? It’s an electrically driven system but it uses bleed air from the APU or an external air-start cart to actually start the engines.
I bet it is a Republic Airways bird now.
Why doesn’t your company use the HUD’s? Do you know what company’s still use them?
Not actually sure why we don't use them but the aircraft we acquired are from Compass Airlines. I'm not sure which US 175 operators are currently using the HUD's.
I bet you work for Republic Airways.
Why were the batteries off?
When the airplane is plugged into ground power and not running off the APU and we are planning on leaving the airplane we turn the batteries off. This way the airplane continues to be powered by the GPU but the batteries are off in the event the ground power becomes disconnected. If the GPU is unplugged the load immediately falls back onto the batteries and left unattended would drain them. This “safe” mode allows for the airplane to immediately go dark in the event that happens!
Soo jealous 🤧
What bag is that? I like it!
I’m not sure what model it is but I know it’s made by LuggageWorks and I believe it might just be called the FlightBag?
Where are the ac vents and ac temperature control could you show that
Top Right of the overhead panel! It’s a very small switch that controls the temperature with the temperature displayed on our MFD (the 2nd screen in) on the ECS Systems page, showing set temperature in each zone versus the actual temperature. We have a switch (more of a little dial really) for the cockpit and the cabin and can move it to give control to the flight attendants for the cabin off of their service panels.
Can the trackpad be used to select com freq?
Unfortunately not but there are multiple key strokes that will change frequencies including the trackpad select keys.
3:15 what's "cat 2"?
The placard you're referencing is what tells us if the airplane is capable of performing a "Category 2 ILS" which is an Instrument Landing System approach that brings us down to lower minimums (altitude) than the standard Category 1 ILS. If there is inoperative equipment onboard that inhibits the ability to perform the CAT 2 approaches they would flip that placard over to reveal the red side that says "CAT 1" telling us that we are only able to perform the higher minimums approach.
Why Batteries in OFF position?
When we’re hooked up to ground power, that takes priority to power the airplane with AC electric rather than the DC batteries and if we know we’re going to be leaving the airplane, we turn the batteries off so that if for some reason the ground power is disconnected, the airplane will just go dark and unpowered rather than switch back to battery power and sit unattended until the batteries die.
@@USAF88TC I can't believe they wrote your SOP like that. The batteries should be on to leave power in case the GPU fails or is ripped out before you're ready. When it just cuts all power at once it can screw up the electrical system, and faults will remain until properly powered down and reset on the next start. It's VERY odd that you do it that way. Just about every operator does the opposite and leaves the batteries on. Then again, we have to power down completely if the aircraft is left unattended, so if you guys can leave it hooked up, I can see the idea, but the risk is still there for faults.
Those flight yokes ...
Gotta love embraer’s yokes!
Its fly-by-wire my man, those yokes are pure A E S T H E T I C S
@@Samurasa. Partially fly-by-wire. There are cables as well.
