1.0 INTRODUCTION

Hello and thank you for purchasing my Embraer E175! This is the second add-on for X-Plane

developed by myself (Marko Mamula). I would like to state that this is NOT just a shorter

version of the ERJ195. It is a completely new model developed about 90%+ from scratch and

it cannot be compared at all.

Development of the ERJ195 tought me many things that I used while developing this

beautiful Embraer E175. This has allowed me to create a much better, more detailed, more

realistic and more accurate model while maintaining the many popular and useful features of

the ERJ195 and at the same time even increase the performance!

While developing aircraft is a lot of fun, writing the manuals isn’t. So I’m sorry if you don’t find

everything in this manual. If you have any more questions feel free to ask on the forum! I

have used many pictures in this manual which are going to help you understand what I am

describing.

NOTE : Some of the pictures used in this manual are from the ERJ 195. As the cockpits are

almost identical it shouldn’t matter at all.

The custom FMS has it’s own manual which you can also find in the Documentation folder.

There will also be a serie of tutorial videos about how to use the FMS.

While developing these add-ons is my huge passion and love, I do hope that selling of this

model will help me found my postgraduate studies in the UK.

1.1 INSTALLATION

To install the model, extract it into X-Plane/Aircraft/… in a folder of your choice. We suggest

that the folder name contains no non-unicode characters. The folder also must not be a

system folder.

1.2 INSTALLATION OF THE NEW WINGLETS

Since 2014 all the E175s coming off the assembly line have the new winglets. After the flight

test campaign, fuel burn was proven to be in fact 6.4% lower compared to earlier-productionE175s.

If you wish to use these winglets instead of the old ones, go to the following folder:

.../Embraer E175/Winglets.

Locate the file wings.obj and move it to this folder:

.../Embraer E175/objects

Locate the file E175.acf and move it to this folder.../Embraer E175

Once you do this you will always have the new winglets.

NOTE: Don’t forget to backup the original files that you will be replacing so that you can use

it again if you want to go back to the default winglets!

I would also like to thank Todd Fleck and Emma Bentley or helping me with some of my

liveries. Todd also provided most of the custom sounds and NAV and strobe spill lights.

1.4 DEMO FLIGHTSee the ‘...Embraer E175/Documents/Demo flight’ folder for a sample flight that will give you the

experience of a complete flight, taking off and landing at Tucson International Airport. Something of a

"once around the pattern" flight, only with 17 waypoints. It will give you the full experience of the flight

management functions of the MCDU in around an hour.

1.5 TUTORIAL VIDEOS

There will be a set of tutorial videos explaining how to use the FMS on the X-Crafts youtube Chanel.These will be made after the release.

2.0 GENERAL

2.1 BACKGROUND

Based in São José dos Campos, Brazil, Embraer (Empresa Brasileira de Aeronáutica, S. A.;

Brazilian Aeronautics Company, Inc.) was founded in 1969 as a government enterprise; and

became a privately owned business December 7, 1994.

Announced during the 1999 Paris Air Show, the Embraer series of E-jets are designed to be

larger than regional aircraft (50 seats or less) and smaller than larger mainline jets (110 or

more seats). Jets in this size range specifically designed for growing airlines wishing to

expand their market, or larger carriers wanting to right-size their fleet to fit routes inefficiently

served by larger aircraft. Embraer calls this 'The Rule of 70 to 110'.

The E-jets are a new design from nose to tail and wingtip to wingtip, and a significant

departure from their successful predecessor aircraft, the ERJs. Operations are 30% more

efficient than the previous generation of jets. Two full authority digital engine controlled

(FADEC) CF34 General Electric engines hang below the winglet fitted wings. Flights

surfaces, excluding the ailerons, are fly-by-wire controlled. Honeywell's Primus Epic

Electronic Flight and Information System (EFIS) with five liquid crystal color displays conducts

fully automated flight, including both LNAV and VNAV control, and autoland capability. The

170 and 175, as do the 190 and 195, have 95% component commonality to reduce operator

costs. The full range of E-jets have 89% commonality. Cockpit commonality allows for pilot

cross-certification. Embraer retained their distinctive ram's horn yoke design.

All E-jets feature a single isle cabin with a two-by-two seat arrangement. The cabin has a

greater diameter and length than regional aircraft allowing for larger overhead bins, wider

seats and an optional two-cabin layout.

The launch customer was Crosssair. First flight of an E-jet was February 2002. After an

extended certification process the first aircraft delivery occurred in March 2004 to LOT Polish

Airlines (an E170). The launch customer of the E-190 was JetBlue. The first flight of the E-

190 was in March 2004, with the first flight of the E-195 in December 2004. Flybe launched

the E-195. Over 600 aircraft have been built, and are based in 35 countries and over 50

airlines.

3.0 COCKPIT

3.1 GENERAL

This X-Plane add-on includes an advanced and complete 3D virtual cockpit to emulate the real

aircraft’s cockpit as closely as possible in the X-Plane flight simulator. While not all aircraftsystems are simulated, the controls and indicators are located in their proper places with

respect to the real aircraft.

Every attempt was used to make the add-on as easy to use as possible. For example, all

clickable areas in the cockpit were made bigger in order to make it easier to click on any

button, knob or key on the monitor.

12



3.2 Dark and Quiet Cockpit

Embraer uses a “Dark and quiet” cockpit principle. This means that under normal operations,

there are no illuminated buttons, knobs are in the 12-o'clock position, and there are no aural

notifications.

3.3 GUIDANCE PANEL

Along the top of the panel glareshield is the guidance panel (GP). The many autopilot modes

and functions are engaged using this panel's many buttons and knobs. You must take the

time to fully understand how each control effects the E-jet during each phase of flight.

Be sure to engage any autopilot mode, if you want it to do anyhting! Basically if there is ayellow light above the button, it is armed. If there is a green light, it is engaged.

You can also see what modes are engaged on the top part of the PFD (check section 3.6.1)

13



3.3.1 LATERAL MODE GUIDANCE

FD - Flight director (This engages the flight director, but NOT the autopilot!)

NOTE : for some reason MSTR WARNING will light up when you engage FD, this

is an X-Plane bug, so just turn it off by clicking on it)

AP - Engage autpilot servos (This engages the autopilot, if it is not engaged, you are

flying manually and the plane will not follow any selected autopilot mode)

APP - Autopilot approach mode (This will engage the NAV and at the same time GS)

NAV - Autopilot engage VOR/localizer (Engage this if you want the plane to follow the

flight plan loaded from the FMS or fly an ILS)

BANK - Lock the bank to max 15 degrees

HDG - Autopilot engage heading

YD - Yaw damper

SRC - HSI nav source selector (This switches between pilot/copilot’s FMS source. It

does not have any effect in this release version)

14



3.3.2 HDG KNOB

There are two different clickable areas to set the heading. This picture explains how to use it:

3.3.3 ALT KNOB

There are two different clickable areas to set the altitude. The ALT has 2 options, the inner circle

changes the value by 10ft on click and by 100ft on hold. The outer circle changes the value by

1000ft/click. I find this super useful because you can go from 0 to FL300 in no time.

15



3.3.4 VERTICAL MODE GUIDANCE

ATHR - Autopilot engage auto-throttle (Push Speed knob to select between knots/mach!!!)

VNAV - Autopilot engage FMS VNAV

FLCH - Flight level change

VERY IMPORTANT : be sure to engage ATHR before hitting FLCH! If you don’t it will result inwild porpoising after the plane reaches the desired altitude !

G/S - Glide slope

V/S - Vertical speed

ALT - Altitude select (If you click on the ALT button twice, it will turn green and it will hold the

current altitude)

3.3.5 DISPLAY CONTROLLER PANEL

FMS - Selects FMS as the primary navigation source for both PFDs Radio Altimeter (RA) minimums selector knob (sets the radio altimeter decision height)

V/L - VOR/LOC button (Selects the VOR or NAV for the display)

BARO SET - Barometric correction selector knob, sets barometric correction factor

BRG bearing sources button : Selects VOR, NAV sources

CIRCLE (O): indicates VOR1, NAV1

DIAMOND (◊): indicates VOR2, NAV2

16



3.3.6 BAROMETER READOUT SWITCH

By clicking on the hidden clickspot above the BARO knob, you can switch between In/hPa.

3.3.7 ENGAGING THE AUTOPILOT

Choose a source at the Display controller Panel (BRG O/ BRG ◊/FMS)

Engage the FD and also AP. If the light turns green, the autopilot servos are on.

Once AP is on and the flight plan is loaded, press NAV to engage the Localizer to follow the

flight plan loaded in the FMS. For ILS press APP. This will automatically engage NAV and

GS (Glideslope).

IMPORTANT! Before selecting FLCH, you first have to set the speed and hit ATHR,

otherwise the plane will start porpoising once it reaches the desired altitude!

Please visit this website for a detailed explanation of all autopilot modes and functions.

3.4.1 ELECTRICAL

The E-Jet electrical system is fully automated and under normal operations, no pilot action is

required.

The Alternating Current (AC) system is composed of:

2 Integrated Drive Generators (IDGs)

1 Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) generator

1 Ram Air Turbine (RAT)

1 AC external power unit or Ground Power Unit (This will light up when the GPU is on)

The Direct Current (DC) system is composed of:

2 Nickel Cadmium (NiCd) batteries 3 Transformer Rectifier Units (TRUs)

1 DC external power unit (not simulated in this release version)

Note: Normal operation of the electrical system is automatic. Two electrical networks work

independently from one another for electrical fault isolation purposes. In the event of a power source

fault, bus ties automatically connect between the networks with no significant operational or workload

needed.

Battery 2, specifically has an "off/auto" indication on the knob because only BAT 2 connects to the

APU start bus. So when the apu is selected to run, BAT 2 is taken offline to start the apu.

3.4.2 AVIONICS AND HUD PANEL

Avionics switch

HUD switch (ON/OFF)

HUD BRT knob changes HUD brightness

3.4.3 FIRE PROTECTION

18



In case of engine fire an annunciator will show up on the EICAS and the fire extinguisher

levers will lit up.

Pull down (click on) the fire extinguisher handle should an engine catch fire.

19



3.4.4 FUEL

Crossfeed selector knob:

If one fuel tank gets low, turn the xfeed valve to

that side, to draw fuel from the opposite wing.

DC DUMP (Primer) fuel pump selector knob

AC PUMP turns the AC fuel pumps on

20



3.4.5 AUXILIARY POWER UNIT (APU)

The APU is a gas turbine engine located in the airplane tail cone. It provides electrical and

pneumatic power while the engines are not operating. It consumes around 310 pounds of

fuel per hour and draws from the LEFT fuel tank. The APU can be started in flight up to

30,000 feet.

The APU master knob has the following

functions:

STOP: turns the APU off.

ON: keeps the APU running.

START: starts the APU operation.

NOTE: You can observe the APU activation on synoptic electrical page or EICAS APU indicator.

For a detailed description of APU go HERE

3.4.7 HYDRAULICS

A pump provides static pressure for the hydraulic systems.

When running, engines provide the pressure necessary to

drive the hydraulic systems.

Both pump knobs turn all pumps on/ off

The real aircraft operates three independent hydraulic

systems and any hydraulic pump can provide sufficient

pressure for all aircraft systems that require it.

3.4.8 ICE AND RAIN PROTECTION

ON: activates all principal anti-ice systems.

AOA HEAT selector knob

OFF: deactivates de-icing heat for AOA sensor.

ON: activates de-icing heat for AOA sensor.

3.4.9 AIR CONDITIONING

The Air Management System (AMS) consists of:

Pneumatic System

Environmental Control System (ECS)

The AMS Controller provides primary control for

airplane systems such as bleed control,

environmental control, hot air leak detection, crew

oxygen monitoring, wing ice protection and engine

anti-ice.

The Cabin Pressure Control System (CPCS) is also

part of the AMS, although it has a separate

controller.

NOTE : The entire pneumatics system is not simulated in this release version. The two packs,

i.e. recirculation and temperature controls are simulated only as far as the Do-Verify and

Read and Do checklists are concerned. They do not have a real effect in this add-on.

23

Push IN: allows automatic operation by the AMS. This position commands the

cross-bleed valve, according to the system logic.

Push OUT: manually closes all cross-bleed valves.

Bleed air valve buttons:

Push IN: allows automatic operation by the AMS. This position commands the engines’

bleed valves, according to the system logic.

Push OUT: manually closes the engine bleed valve.

APU bleed button:

Push IN: allows automatic operation by the AMS. This position commands the APU bleed

valve, according to the system logic.

Push OUT: manually closes the APU bleed valve.

24



3.4.10 PRESURRIZATION

The pressuriation of the cabin is automatic and

can’t be changed.

25



3.5 PEDESTAL

3.5.1 OVERVIEW

26



3.5.2 SLAT / FLAP

The flaps lever may be moved using the mouse or the keyboard flaps commands.

NOTE: Flap 4 and flap 5 positions do not change the positions of the flaps or slats. The difference

between these modes is that flap 4 is used for take-off while flap 5 is used for landing.

3.5.3 SPEEDBRAKE LEVER

Deploys the multi-function spoilers. Spoilers deploy the same angle as a response to the speedbrake

lever position. The maximum deploy angle on the ground is 60° and 30° in the air.

To set the speedbrake to ‘armed’ on landing, press the speedbrake key shortcut (“3” key) or push the

lever forward.

3.5.4 TRANSPONDER

Transponder is an electronic device that produces a response when it receives a

radio-frequency interrogation.

NOTE: You can also use the transponder on the pop-up radio panel

27



3.5.5 NAV/COM/ADF RECEIVER

there are many ways how you can set the radio frequencies. You can use radio panels on

the pedestal or on the pop-up radio panel. the right way though would be to do it through the

MCDU radio page.

28



3.5.6 TRIM PANEL

Use this panel to manually adjust trim.

3.5.7 COCKPIT DOOR CONTROLUse this panel if you want to lock the cockpit door.

29



3.5.8 STARTERS

To start the engines follow the startup procedure in section 6.0 or use the checklist plugin.

3.5.9 AUDIO SELECTOR

Only the cirled buttons are simulated in this release version

30



3.5.10 RAM AIR TURBINE

A ram air turbine (commonly known by the acronym RAT) is a small turbine that is connected

to a hydraulic pump, or electrical generator, installed in an aircraft and used as a power

source. The RAT generates power from the airstream by ram pressure due to the speed of

the aircraft.

To deploy RAT, click on the RAT DEPLOY cover in the pedestal and click on the handle.

The RAT will deploy on the right fron tside of the fuselage and will produce power for the

electical system.

31



NOTE: If you select an approach on the local map or ‘Get me lost option’ the RAT will be

automaticaly deployed. This is a bug, however it’s an X-Plane bug. So please bear with us and

just retract the RAT back in. Hopefully Laminar will fix this soon!

3.6 MAIN PANEL

The main panel consists of three screens that make up the Electronic Flight Instruments

System (EFIS). On the Left is the Primary Flight Display (PFD), middle the Multi-Function

Display (MFD), and to the right is the Engine Indication and Crew Alerting System

(EICAS).

32



3.6.1 PFD - Primary flight display

The upper half of the primary flight display (PFD) provides the pilot with information required

to fly the aircraft such as the attitude indication, speed and altitude tapes.

Above the attitude indicator is the Flight Mode Annunciation (FMA). This sub-display

indicates the autopilot modes that are active and armed. The lower half of the PFD is used

for aircraft navigation.

Displayed are a compass rose with VOR and DME overlays, navigation source mode

indication, heading, VOR and COM radios frequencies, and NAV/FMS data.

33



1 - Selected airpeed

2 - Actual aircraft airspeed

3 - Actual aircraft airspeed in mach number

4 - Autopilot source5 - VHF (COM1) radio. The radio frequencies are adjusted as described for the

NAV1

radio

6 - Selected autopilot heading (reflected on the compass by the heading bug)

7 - Selected altitude readout based on autopilot setting on the Guidance Panel.

8 - Vertical speed readout. The indications are in feet per minute

9 - Current barometer setting. You can see how to switch between IN/QN in

section 3.3.4

10 - Vertical speed set with the autopilot

11 - NAV1 radio

34



3.6.2 MFD - Multi function display

The MFD presents MAP and PLAN navigation formats and various systems synoptic formats

selectable by keys on the top and bottom of the display.

The synoptic system pages provide visual representation of the selected system’s functions

and parameters.

White lines and black crosses mean the system is disconnected or not active.

Green lines and green crosses mean the system is connected or active.

35



3.6.2.0 MENU

After clicking on Systems key in the top left corner of the MFD a menu drops down and you

can choose from several synoptic pages.

36



3.6.2.1 NAVIGATION PAGE

Click on the NAVIGATION key to choose the map. You can switch between MAP and PLAN

mode by clicking on the top left key. Click on the Options key to change the map range or

to choose what will be shown on the map.

NOTE: You can also zoom in or out directly on the map if you click left or right to the range

indicators.

37



NOTE : I’m well aware of the NAV display limitations. As I could only use the default X-Plane

NAV display instrument I only had two choices: Have a terrible NAV display, where no one

can read anything (like on the default 747 for example), or have an equally terrible Nav

display, only with readable waypoints. I chose option 2. Unfortunatelly to get this, I had to

decrease the range of the map. And although now the maximum range is about 80 miles, I

still think it is better then the map before.

The NAV display is definitelly something that I am planning on updating in the future (as

soon as possible) but I have to find the right person who would be able to create a custom

high resolution fully workable NAV display. If you happen to know anyone who would be able

to do it, please contact me!

38

4.0 FLIGHT CONTROLS

4.1 OVERVIEW

The flight control system is composed of the primary and secondary flight control systems and

their associated system components.

Hydraulic actuators control the respective flight control surfaces. These are generally referred to as

Power Control Units (PCUs).

Elevators, rudder and roll spoilers as well as all the secondary flight control systems, including the

horizontal stabilizer, flaps and slats, ground spoilers and speed brakes, are controlled using

Fly-by-Wire technology.

The ailerons are controlled via conventional control cables that run from each control wheel back to a

pair of hydro-mechanical actuators which in turn drive the ailerons.

5.0 ADDITIONAL PLUG-INS

5.1 PLUG-IN MENU

This model has a pop-up menu where you can control the door, ground objects,GPU or

enable the pushback plugin.

IMPORTANT: In order for the ground objects and GPU to work, you must set the brakes

on ! Once you release the brakes the GPU and ground objects will disappear and all the

doors will close.

Once the mouse is less then 50 pixels away from the left side of your screen, 3

small buttons will show up labeled M (menu), P (Pushback control menu) and C

(Open checklist).

The M and P menus will not be accessible once the plane is moving.
