•
Primary Flight Display (PFD), Multi-Function Display (MFD) including the use of the
reversionary modes, and Engine Indication and Crew Alerting System (EICAS):
Pilots need to be able to understand the multitude of information presented on these displays.
Recognition of reversionary modes and display failures and appropriate corrective action to
be taken shall be addressed.
Furthermore, pilots must be trained in handling cascading EICAS messages.
Proper
identification of the primary failure and thus the root cause of the failure conditions needs to
be trained.
•
Radio Management System (RMS), including the Radio Management Units (RMU) and
Tuning Backup Control Head:
An understanding of all normal functions as well as backup and emergency functions of these
systems is required..

needed to perform the task at hand. The PFD Mode Annunciators are crucial tools in both
predicting and controlling proper automation and emphasis shall be put on its use. Standard
Operating Procedures help in using the automation consistently and appropriately during
critical flight phases with a high workload.
•
Full Authority Digital Electronic Control (FADEC)
An operational understanding of the FADEC and the engine thrust mode selection is required,
including the proper selection and use of an adequate take-off mode.
•
System control panels using pushbuttons with integral light bars:
Pilots must have an understanding of the switch position and system configuration for both
normal and abnormal system operation. Pilots should be cognizant of switch normal or nonnormal position as it relates to light bar illumination and not on whether the switch is
depressed or released.
In particular during non-normal operations, pilots must use information from switch positions
and synoptic pages to determine system status.
•
Bleed Air Thermal Anti-Icing System.
A thorough understanding of system operation, limitations and procedures is needed.
•
Fuel system configurations:
Due to the increasing variety of fuel system configurations throughout the EMB-135/145 fleet
it is necessary that pilots develop a thorough understanding of fuel system operations,
limitations and normal/non-normal procedures.
•
Flight controls:
Disconnect mechanism, operation of the pitch and roll mechanical disconnect feature (aileron
and elevator disconnection handle)
Recovery from pitch trim / flight controls (aileron / rudder) runaway; recovery from jammed
aileron / elevator / rudder;
•
Manual flight with unreliable airspeed condition;
•

Embraer EMB-135/145
Special Events Training
[AMC] Special events training to improve basic crew understanding and confidence regarding
aircraft handling qualities, options and procedures as these relate to design characteristics and
limitations may include the following:
• recovery from unusual attitudes;
• manual flight with minimum use of automation, including flight under degraded levels of
automation;
• handling qualities and procedures during recovery from an upset condition (e.g. wake vortex
encounter, loss of control incident);
• high altitude high and low speed buffet margins and flight characteristics;
• wind shear and appropriate escape manoeuvres;
• Controlled Flight Into Terrain (CFIT), TCAS, EGPWS (emphasis on avoidance and escape
manoeuvres, altitude awareness, TCAS / EGPWS warnings, situational awareness and crew
co-ordination, as appropriate).
5.3
Recurrent Training
Recurrent training must be compliant with EU regulations for civil aviation aircrew and air operations,
as applicable, and include the identified Training Areas of Special Emphasis.
Operators must establish an approved recurrent training and checking programme which is relevant
to the aircraft variant flown and its intended operation.
[AMC] The requirements for a recurrent training programme may vary with several factors which
have a significant influence. Some of these factors are actual exposure of the flight crew member(s),
specific routes and aerodromes used by the operator, and new developments in technology. These
factors and / or a combination thereof, will determine the required recurrent training.
[AMC] The applicable requirements established in EU regulations for civil aviation aircrew and air
operations should be considered as a minimum and expanded, as appropriate, for pilots who have
had only limited exposure and / or who do no longer fulfil the currency requirements.
[AMC] Recurrent training should incorporate special events training as described in this report, on
a rotational basis.
