The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has certified Embraer’s E195-E2, the company’s most sophisticated jet to date and a cleaner, quieter next-generation aircraft, for a steep approach to London City Airport. This accomplishment, which permits airlines to use the E195-E2 at London City Airport (LCY), which is renowned for its difficult approach and short runway, is a noteworthy breakthrough. Both E2 family members are now authorized for operations from LCY, together with the E190-E2, which obtained Steep Approach certification in 2021.
The remarkable noise reduction of the E195-E2 among modern single-aisle aircraft was brought to light during the certification procedure. It provides a much quieter flying experience than the E195 model since it exceeds the severe standards of ICAO’s Chapter 14 regulation. The E195-E2 will assist the locals by reducing noise because its takeoff noise footprint is around 60% less than that of modern jet aircraft, like the E190. The environmental performance of the E195-E2 goes beyond noise reduction. Comparing the aircraft to those of prior generations, the latter produces lower emissions and better fuel efficiency.
