FAA proposes safety rules for Embraer’s automatic takeoff system

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing new safety regulations concerning Embraer's automated takeoff system designed for the E190 and E195 aircraft family, including the E2. These proposed requirements stem from a review of the system’s operational procedures and potential risks associated with its use. The FAA intends to ensure that pilots maintain full control throughout the entire takeoff process when this system is engaged. Specifically, the agency seeks to establish enhanced monitoring protocols and pilot training standards related to the automatic nose-up function. This proactive approach aims to mitigate any possible hazards linked to the system’s operation during critical phases of flight.
