Have the E-Jets been certified for LCY? I remember Embraer saying they wanted to do it, but I never heard whether they got it done or not.

Quoting Mir (Reply 1):

I don't know but if BA Cityflyer have ordered them I would imagine so
From Embraer's press release:
Quote: The EMBRAER 170 obtained steep approach certification to operate at London City Airport
in June 2007. This approach uses a software solution developed within the existing fly-by-
wire system, which means improved flight quality and control and reduced pilot workload,
with less weight and maintenance cost. The EMBRAER 190SR is currently undergoing a
series of engineering evaluation tests with a view to receiving its steep approach certification
by the end of 2009.

Quoting LHR27C (Reply 9): Indeed, but it didn't. The testing has been pushed back to 2009, apparently "paperwork issues".
I think there was a picture of the E190 test frame at LCY. IIRC they were there sometime in November, but said all further tests will be made in 2009.
The E170 test flights are completed and just paperwork needs to be done. E170 should be certified for LCY for summer schedule 09. The E190 for winter schedule 09/10.

Quote: The Brazilian manufacturer had scheduled a range of E-190 flight trials at the airport for 1 November. These tests were to include take-offs, landings and manoeuvring
Quote: A spokeswoman for the London City Airport confirms that the trials have not yet taken place. "Paperwork with the UK authorities needs to be completed," she says, noting that tests are expected to begin early next year.
Quote: The E-190's sister aircraft, the E-170, secured London City Airport steep approach certification in the summer of 2007.

The E170 is certified for LCY and the E190 will get the certification shortly.

Certainly in the UK the E-Jets appear to be taking over from the 146/RJ, what with Flybe operating them and now BA ordering them. A nice little bit of Christmas cheer to round off the year

Quoting Speedmarque (Thread starter): Embraer says in a statement that the deal comprises six E-170s and five E-190SRs on firm order, plus options for three more E-190SRs.
Fantastic news . Great to see them go for this. Just love the Ejets.

Just out of interest,..
Prior to making the decision to go with Embraer, Would BA have even bothered to look at the Sukhoi Superjet, given that Sukhoi are going to great lengths to try & make their new plane a 'Western Friendly' Jet.
Or, would the same old thinly veiled political reasons block any chance of buying an Russian Jet, especially given the 'frosty' current relations between Moscow & London?
I think it's pretty much a unanimous opinion of A Netters on here, that we all love the new little Sukhoi & wish it all the best.
And we're even started to see some Western European Airlines thinking like this as well.

Quoting Speedmarque (Thread starter): The first 76-seat E-170 is due for delivery in the second half of 2009. Deliveries of the larger, 98-seat E-190SRs will start later.
This will result in a capacity reduction if they replace RJ85/100 with the new E jets one for one as there are only 2 RJ85's currently.

Maybe - but when when will the Superjet be cleared for LCY?

Quoting TristarSteve (Reply 16): What does the SR signify?. Couldn't see it n Embraers site.
Presumably some Short Range or steep approach variant more suited to ops from LCY. I think the E90's range will be quite limited when operating out of there.
The Embraer press image (see post 18) isn't quite right, the "British Airways" titles are in the wrong font. The red trailing edges on the winglets look quite cool though imo.
25 BA319-131: An expected order and pleasing it has finally been announced. These E jets will look really good in BA's scheme and nice to travel in in a 2-2 layout.
26 Alessandro: Embraer is a proven product with a world wide support net, Sukhoi isn´t, like the Dassualt Mercure vs Boeing 737 during the early 1970ies. If they w

40 Myt332: My thoughts about LGW also. I can't imagine them lasting forever.

43 BALHRWWCC: Not sure . I would be very suprised though if it isn't the SR variant they send for final LCY approach approval.
44 GDB: You have to maybe consider BA's now rather long standing policy of only ordering aircraft that are, or will be at BA service entry, already proven in
45 AirbusA6: It'll also be in pole position to replace the 146s and Avros of other operators at LCY, a nice little niche
