The Embraer E190 is the larger of the popular E-Jet family: 100-seat regional jet that handles more like a small narrow-body than a CRJ. Its fly-by-wire and wing design make it docile in the flare, and the higher-set engines give better crosswind clearance than the CRJ family. Aerosoft and the MSFS default both ship usable E190s.
Landing technique.
Approach at Vref + 5 in calm, + gust factor as needed.
Flare around 20 to 30 ft RA. The E-Jet is more responsive in pitch than the CRJ, small inputs do a lot.
Idle thrust on the auto-callout. The engines spool down predictably; no surprise float.
Spoilers should auto-deploy; verify with the green panel light.
Reverse thrust to 80 kt, then taper. The E190's brakes are good. Don't over-rely on reverse.
Common mistakes.
Over-controlling pitch on flare, the E-Jet's pitch authority is higher than the CRJ family.
Failing to verify spoiler deployment. Without them the rollout is dramatically longer.
Carrying too much speed into the flare, the E190's clean wing floats noticeably with extra energy.
How its touchdown is scored.
The score at each point of its curves. Between the points, scores fall in a straight line; the full method is in the scoring methodology.
No shared landings or board for this aircraft yet. Its figures appear once pilots with a public profile have shared 5 graded landings in it, and a board once at least 5 opted-in pilots have flown it 10 or more times each. See the boards there are.
