This time, let’s travel back in time, though only 15 years, to when I used to fly the Embraer 145 aircraft. In this video I will be sharing the history of this bird, some minor specs, and what was it like to fly the famous ERJ 145. Love it or hate it, it played a key role in the development of commercial aviation from the late 90s to early 2000s. Today, the scale of operation of 50 seat aircraft has been drastically reduced. Much of the flying that it used to do, is now done by 75 seat aircraft, albeit at lower frequency between airports. I hope you enjoy the video!

Excellent video. I'm a Delta 320 Captain and my son just got hired by Piedmont and will be flying the EMB-145 so I'm trying to learn all I can about this aircraft. This video certainly helped.
My son just finished ATP and starts Piedmont indoc next week. I guess PDT is sticking with the 145 since AAG is moving 15 of them from Envoy to PDT later this year.
@@clarkpj1 Awesome - my son's class date is Sep. 19th.
@@winstonchurchill3597 Aug 22 for mine. They'll overlap in Charlotte. I hear class sizes are up to 30-40 instead of the 10-15 they were recruiting before the huge pay raises. Amazing what doubling salaries can do!
@@clarkpj1 Hope they both have long successful careers in aviation. I've been flying for the airlines for 33 years now - the best part about the job is the great people you get to work with!
Fantastic!! Congratulations to your son for making it to the industry! I was on the 320 before, 737 for now… the 145 was the industry standard for decades, so it has to be a great aircraft!! I’m sure he’ll enjoy it! Fly safe!
Yes… Continental Express (which became ExpressJet) was the initial US operator (launch customer) of the EMB-145. The key difference between the Embraer jet and the Bombardier jet is the fact that the CRJ was derived from a corporate jet platform. The EMB-145 was derived from a proven Part-135 (scheduled airline service) platform. Some CRJ guys will cry foul… But, it’s true. I was privy to the comparative analysis done by Continental Express. And, it was no contest. Embraer built the first true 50 seat commercial airliner. Bombardier caught up with their follow on variants…
Great input! Thank you. Certainly true and self evident in the capabilities of the aircraft, particularly in its first iteration, it was far superior. In the XRJ variant, the 145 was a true 50 seat airliner!
Amazing level of details on the EMBRAER 145 regional jet, explained by a pro! I am surprised that you had to perform that level of manual operations, including no-GPS approaches. Very well done show, congratulations once again on your level of detail.
Thank you very much sir! We are working hard to improve the overall production quality with each video! More videos like this to come in the future! I am looking forward to sharing with you my experiences operating the Airbus 320, MD-88, and the incredible Boeing 737! Stay tuned! Until the next video, fly safe John!
I flew the EMB 145…11978 hours with American Eagle and TransStates Airlines
My brother from another mother! Now that’s an impressive level of experience on a single aircraft! No medals being awarded for this accomplishment, but for what it’s worth, thank you for all your hard work! Given your pay rate during those years and what you were doing, that is service to your country. I walked that road as well… however, things have changed… how much have they changed!!
Great video! Im actually fly the emb 145, totally agree with you cap
I'm a frequent flyer and this thingy is tops so smooth never had much turbulence during flights. And it has an amazing design looks like a fusion between an injection needle and a smaller version of the Concorde! Lol
Rodney I flew the 145 probably before you were born ! Brought one back from San Jose dos Campos in 1997. I bet your idea of good time in 1997 was a fudgesicle !
Ha!!! I’m not that young but THANK YOU!! I very much appreciate it when people think I’m still that young!! Very cool that you took delivery of a brand new aircraft! Not many people get to do that job!! What are you up to nowadays?

@savagecub awesome! How do you like it? I hear great things about the 787!
I need to say, amazing quality. Keep it up, Sir.
Thank you very much! We are hard at work, improving our production quality and overall value with each video. Your support is much appreciated and extremely important! Thank you! More reviews to come!
Embraer needs to hear from you. They need to hear someone like you to explain so many details brilliantly. I had the opportunity to fly once in the EMB-120 Brasilia. It was really nice almost like a jet and went pretty high quickly. It was The Ponte Aerea (shuttle) between Rio and Sao Paulo (50 minutes) which was served by Boeings 737 only, after they had just retired the Electras.
Wow fantastic! Thank you for your support and for sharing your story! The Brasilia was another great product from Embraer. I will be doing more airplanes in the “What was it like to fly…”! Stay tuned!
Thanks a lot for Embraer and your excellent explanation!
Congratulations Embraer!
Thank you for watching! Your support is greatly appreciated! Embraer is an incredible manufacturer indeed!
Very nicely presented. Happy landings!
I worked on the Embraer 135-140 and the Embraer 145 as a tech, I really miss that plane, it never broke, but when it did, it did 😂
I love the suit and color combo 🤙
Thank you sir! More great content coming your way! Stay tuned!
Really enjoyed.
Superb!! Thank you for watching!! More like this coming in the near future!
Very interesting to hear your experiences, great work!
take care /Andy
Thank you!
Thanks for this video, I found it really interesting.
Superb! I’m happy to hear. Thank you for watching and engaging!
Flew the 145 for 5 years, she was a good plane. But I've been flying the 747 for the past 4 years now. Can't beat the auto throttles and vnav.
Indeed!! Well, it is not fair to compare her to the Queen of the Skies!! Automation is awesome, however, the lack of automation made the 145 an awesome first jet to fly! Once you learn energy management, it will serve you well your entire career!
General speed control adjustments: in level flight, for each 10kts to slowdown…count on 1 mile of distance covered at flight idle.
In a decent…2,500’ per minute at flight idle…count on 3 miles covered.
General fuel burn calculation: In the 30’000’s 700 lb per 100 miles.
In the 20,000 ‘s 800 lb per 100 nm.
In the teen’s /10,000..,900 lb per 100
Wow!!
A professor, indeed!
Greetings Luiz! Thank you for watching! And thank you for your support! More awesome content coming soon!
Very good 145
Thank you for watching! And thank you for sharing! More good videos coming soon!
Embraer did not create the 50 seat RJ market. The ERJ-145 was five years behind the 50 seat CRJ-100/200 series in terms of global entry in to service, and almost fours years behind in entry in to service in the United States, with Comair launching service with the CRJ-100 in 1993, and Continental Express (later called ExpressJet) launching ERJ service in 1997.
ExpressJet was so much fun. I remember the modified speed profiles. If IRC, the 135/145 was 290.M65/MSC/DSC.IDL and the XR had something like 270.M60/M76/M76.290. The 135 was a nightmare for FA. The layout was a headache. Yes, the weight restrictions on the 145EP often had like numerous seats “held” for and during hot weather, oye 🙄 When Xjet used the XR on the Branded flights, it was super fun.
Oh yes, lots of technical nuances between the birds! I really enjoyed the XR, it was the “super 50 seater” for sure. Built like a tank as well… I never made it to the branded ops, however, it’s glory will live on for ever!!!! Dream level job from what I heard…
I’ve been training on six pack C172S, I’m very tech savvy so learning analog has become a big change. I really want that G1000 for SA and simplicity :)
There are many advantages to both actually!
The screens look clean, and so give a sense of “simplicity”, however, imbued in its clean aesthetic is extreme complexity. With LCDs or CRTs, there are multiple pages, sub-menus, and tremendous amount of information in a small area. All that information takes brain horsepower to dissect and monitor.
Meanwhile, steam gauges are extremely simple! You get the information right on its “face”. With time, you’ll know the information that the gauge is providing with your peripheral vision. In a steam gauge the needle will provide you with the respective value, once you have memorized the scale of the gauge, and know where it is supposed to be for that specific portion of the flight, you will have tremendous SA of the aircraft systems simply sitting in your seat while looking outside! It is an awesome feeling!
I hope that helps!
@@CaptainRod you’ve made good points, I’ll never know until I try both.
Hello Rob, Thank you for that great introductory video on the EMB-145. I am soon going to be enrolling for a Type Rating for the EMB-145 and could use some advice on what material to use to get ahead prior to class date, I have access to 3 volumes on Avionics, AFM VOL 1 & 2, AOM VOL1 & 2, PRIMUS 1000, SOP, DDPM &MMEL and a couple more all adding up to over 10,000 page of overwhealming information. Please advice what material from the aformentioned books should I refer to get a good start prior to my class date. Also loved your video on Interview Prep. Thank you
Flying the EMB-145 was like driving my Chevrolet truck, a solid platform all the way around.
Ótima aeronave.
Indeed, it is! Fantastic machine! I accumulated almost 7,000 flight hours on this bird! Thank you for watching!
Good thing I still teach my instrument students how to fly an arc with VOR radials and not just letting the G1000 tell them what to do. I'm pretty surprised to hear that in Mexico you had to do that, that is sort of cool.
Greetings! Indeed, it is sir. A pilot must always first, learn how to be a pilot. Just the other day, we lost both GPSs aboard the Boeing 737 going through a scheduled blackout, in a military training area. The recovery procedure to comply with this abnormal condition, required us to tune both radios and triangulate our position. The next step had you verify the computed IRS locations with the cross radials from the radios. #thatgoodolpilots**t
@@CaptainRod that's cool. Kicking it old school. I really like your channel man!
Thank you! Much appreciated!
Thank you for a well thought out appraisal of the ERJ145. I wonder if it has ever demonstrated its money making abilities?
Thank you for watching! This aircraft was the most successful regional jet in the early 2000s by far. Extenuating factors added to its profitability during that time.
I’ve flown the ATRs, the 737s and now the EMBRAER 195 and the Brand-New 195-E2 and Yes, the English-Inspired Spread-out M-shaped yoke is one of my few complaints on this airplanes. The EMBRAER Preator has a much more well designed active side stick.
You are one of the few who don't like this control stick, because most pilots prefer it to the Boeing 737 type!
@@Marcos5pb Thank you. Honestly, All Pilot that I know prefer the BOEING control you design than the Bike one.
Embraer the best
World class indeed!
Hi Rod. I would love to get your take on the future of regionals. Particularly post COVID. The consensus that I see is that the E145 and similar 50 seat regionals are going to fall by the wayside. Any thoughts on that? And what would that mean to those carriers who operate all 145s? Love your content!
Good afternoon! Indeed, the amount of Embraer 145 aircraft in the skies has been decreasing since late 2000s. That is due to the overall tendency of the industry, transitioning from higher frequency flights to every single airport, to fewer flights with larger aircraft still connecting satellite airports. Even within major carriers, there is a tendency to purchase aircraft that are mostly +180 seats. Those that have 100-120 seating capacity are there to replace the regional aircraft. This brings me to a very important point; we should all be in favor of extremely small regional carriers. This increases the overall value of a pilot’s career while also improving travel experience! It is a win-win. The carriers that are currently operating the 145 will have to start flying 175 or risk going away for good. Nothing new there since that has been the industry trend for over +10 years.
Great video and interesting info. Have tou had the chance to fly larger Embraer jets as the 190 or the 195? Best regards from Brazil.
Greetings! I have been a passenger, and I have been in the flight deck as a jumpseater (passenger in the cockpit) of the Embraer 175, however, I have not flown that airplane as a pilot. Thank you for watching! And thank you for engaging! Where are you located in Brazil?
@@CaptainRod Nowadays I live in the state of Minas Gerais but before I used to live in São José dos Campos, São Paulo, where Embraer is located.
Very cool! I’ve bee to São José dos Campos, however, not Minas! I’ve been mostly around southern Brazil. Fly safe!!
Would like to hear your thoughts on flying the MD-88
I certainly will produce that video! It’ll take a minute due to life circumstances… until then, fly safe!
This jet really reminds me of medium duty three zone cabin private jets such as the Gulfstream IV, Legacy 600/650, Challenger 850, etc. I know the performance on the 145 is less, but did you ever have the feeling as if you were flying a biz jet?
Absolutely… the Legacy version is quieter and nicer, but still the same jet! All in all, great aircraft from the operator stand point.
From 2009-2014 90% of my flights were on expressjets erj145 out of Tulsa
Fantastic!! I probably had you as a passenger! I flew in and out of Tulsa countless times!!
@@CaptainRod very possible ive also flown TUL-EWR and XNA-EWR when the ERJ 145 flew that route as well, the flights weren't full so it wasn't bad for 3 hours on that plane
And I was based in EWR (for a couple of years) and flew those routes as well! That bird was excellent from an operational stand point. As a passenger it was ok, as long as you had good noise canceling headphones. The EMB-175 and beyond are amazing for pilots and passengers. My longest flight on the 145 was almost 6 hours! Which is too long for that airframe… but it could do it!!
@@CaptainRod I hate to say this but the 175 is far superior than the 145, Mesa 175 are fairly new, however the 145 is far better than the CRJ 200
@@CaptainRod unfortunately the TUL-EWR route was dropped, wierdly I think theres 3-4 flights a day to the New York area from XNA and theyre all 170 or 175, and XNA is much smaller than TUL
Hey Rod, I was hired at CALEX prior to our RJ years and flew the 135, 145, and XR before going to CAL. IAH based; when we’re you hired? Wonder if we crossed paths ever…
I was hired there early 2006! You!? I was based everywhere….. expect west coast.
@@CaptainRodxjet was the place to be in 06. Had some friends who went there.
Where did you get the scale model Porsche on the bottom left screen?
Good eye! This is the crown jewel of my Lego collection, it is the Porsche 911 RSR by Lego Technic. I purchased it directly from Lego, on their website. It’s an incredible build and amazing RSR model with tons of details. It takes about 6-8 hours to build it. Thank you for watching! More great content coming to the channel, stay tuned!
@@CaptainRod nice, I’ll be picking one up soon now.
When did you start working for ExpressJet and out of which base? I was a FA for Continental Express (Pre-ExpressJet) May 1994-August 1997 Based in CLE
I was there long after your time!! Starting in 2006. I was CLE as well! Did you go to the majors next?
@Rod Air Line Pilot do you remember Jim Berray? He was a pilot based in CLE also. When I left Continental Express, I did not go to another Airline. I took a leave from Amtrak and returned after I left Continental Express. I was working Onboard Services and been a locomotive engineer for several years now
Very nice! I’m sure it’s been better than the airlines! That name does not sound familiar. I was also based in every base expect the west coast ones, post Continental/United merger…
@Rod Air Line Pilot the pay is a lot better with Amtrak even as Onboard Services. The Monthly guarantee is 185-190 hours for onboard Services. Apparently ExpressJet is resuming flying as an independent carrier. They received FAA approval.
The EMB-145 had an automated speed adjustment capability…just tell the co-pilot to adjust power setting as required…The End.
Hehehehe
I am a fellow Ex-Acey!
Superb! When were you there?
@@CaptainRod I was there way after you , flew the E175 for about a year before the shut down. Now at C5 on the E145. Great airplane , PACKs could be better :)
Very nice! The E 175 was a lot more automated, and a really nice product. And yes, those PACKs could be twice their size… I remember very well. Believe you or not, you have to go all the way to a new 737 or 321 to find really strong PACKs.
Sir I have question how much fuel burn per km Erj145LR
I am aware of that unit of measurement, however, it is certainly not used here in America. You could approximate if you were to make many baseline assumptions of the flight profile. But then again, I do not have access to current performance manuals to calculate that!! Good luck on your search!
Hi What's the Fuel burn per hour..
A good ballpark estimate of 2,400 lbs/hr should be about right.
XL OR LR 👀👀?
which engine installed in Embraer 145
The Rolls Royce AE 3007 Turbofan!
