We love our plans, especially when we are ahead of schedule. At least that’s the case for the E170/175 today.
This update again contains some bug fixes and improvements. Most importantly, however, is a fix that prevented activation for some users. This should now be solved.And is that it for this year? Well, we have another small update planned for the E170/175 in December. And then there is the new release of the E190/195. We are currently fixing the last bugs and are confident that we will be able to release the long E-Jet versions in December. Although it is technically based on its smaller sister, it has a few new features, such as the Steep Approach mode and an optionally selectable Head Up Display for the pilot and/or copilot. We will give you more detailed information shortly before release.
What about the custom flight management system and custom LNAV and VNAV? We are working tirelessly and plan to give you a look behind the scenes so that you can see where we are and what still needs to be done. As you might have seen in other projects, this is a very complex and lengthy task and we want to take you on a journey and explain a few details that are important in the development of such a complex system. We will publish a corresponding blog post in 1-2 weeks.
For now, have fun e-jetting.
