CAE is a global leader in aviation training with the world's largest network of civil aviation training centers.
TUI fly Academy provides comprehensive flight training services with Level D simulators for Boeing and Embraer aircraft types.
The Embraer E170 represents the foundation of Embraer's successful E-Jet family, operating as a 70-80 seat regional aircraft that bridges the gap between turboprops and larger narrow-body jets. This twin-engine aircraft has gained widespread acceptance among regional airlines worldwide, offering exceptional fuel efficiency and passenger comfort on short to medium-haul routes.
E170 flight simulator training focuses on the aircraft's fly-by-wire flight controls and integrated avionics systems. The Honeywell Primus Epic flight deck requires specialized training to master its automated systems, flight management capabilities, and electronic flight displays that define modern regional jet operations.
The Embraer E170 type rating course typically spans 4-5 weeks, incorporating extensive ground instruction followed by Level D simulator training sessions. Pilots must achieve proficiency in the aircraft's unique flight envelope protection systems and advanced autopilot modes that distinguish it from conventional regional aircraft.
The curriculum encompasses normal flight procedures, system malfunctions, adverse weather operations, and crew coordination techniques tailored to regional airline environments. Specific attention is given to the aircraft's performance characteristics, including approach and landing procedures, and emergency evacuation protocols.
Regional airline pilots constitute the primary training demographic for E170 simulators, often representing pilots advancing from turboprop aircraft or transitioning between different jet aircraft types. Corporate flight departments and charter operators also utilize E170 training programs for their specialized operational requirements.
