Flying The ERJ-145: What You Should Know

Cockpit scenes filmed with approval, in partnership with Envoy Air Inc, under Part 91. Not to be used for training purposes... The Embraer-140/145 is one of the most widely used regional jets in the world. I've really enjoyed my time spent on the ERJ, and wanted to give you to have a solid background about the airplane before more career-related videos. Our shortest flights are just 20 minutes in length, with the longest extending over 3 hours! The E145 is a very manually-flown jet (we don't have autothrottles or extensive VNAV capabilities), so it's a great introduction to the world of high-speed flying.

Thanks for watching!

I've always had a soft spot for these beautiful aircraft. Embraer did really well with this model. Love it.

The ERJ will forever hold a place in my heart. My first flight rocketed out of ICT to ORD to make a connection on the mighty AA 777 to LHR. Essentially, the ERJ is the plane that allows me to see the world easIly and conveniently. The plane itself is fast, efficient, safe and performs her duties perfectly. You’re one lucky guy and I hope to be on one one of your flights sometime.

My goal with this video is to make sure you guys have a solid understanding of the jet I fly... Before I continue making more career-related videos. You guys have been asking AWESOME questions about the airplane, so here are some answers! What do you want to know about becoming an airline pilot? Comment with suggestions!

Its a very impressive jet. I traveled with it ERJ145LR from Dominican Rep to Aruba in 55 min. And the most amazing thing was the jet engines are really quiet. Good video 💪✈

[skippymon]

E145 was my first jet, 3745 hours of happy memories. Good job on the video!

As a 51 year old prison nurse who wanted to fly back in the day, all I can say is your parents must be proud! Keep it up!!

[deeanna]

I think it’s great that your airline actively supports your channel. Most YouTube pilots aren’t even allowed to say which company they work for.

This is an awesome airplane. I have flown it so many times and it performs so well even in bad weather. Flights are smooth but a little more fun because its smaller and more nimble. You really can tell when pilots love their aircraft.

I love this plane so much! I love the engine roaring, takeoff speed, and look. :)

I worked those planes from 1999-2013. Saw a lot of changes, a lot of progress, and made my work into my life. I have literal blood, sweat, and tears on every tail number in that fleet. I live on the approach end of my city's airport and watch my old metal friends come in to land every day and night, missing them like the girl that got away. Take care, and fly safe...

[MrLuizsbcunha]

Proud of such a good airplane produced in Brazil! I Hope you Will soon be flying the New E2 190!

[jameiljohn]

I'm an aspiring airline pilot, and your videos are really helping me stay motivated and exited for my career in aviation.
I'll be going to Endeavor air and flying the CRJ 200/900. See you in the skies, safe flights and soft landings.

[golfcharlie]

Awesome video, once again! Keep them coming!

[bobfitzpatrick]

I flew in one of these from Indy to Milwaukee...it was a smooth, wonderful ride. It was the first time I'd ever been in any kind of regional airliner. Good memories.

[CJ-TCB]

Swayne, new subscriber, old pilot. We need more young people like yourself proving to us older folks that our love of FLYING will last through the ages!! Keep up the good work kid!

[ritag.]

You are one very intelligent and dedicated young man.

[felipemachado]

Congratulations on the excellent video! I'm Brazilian and I'm proud of Embraer 🇧🇷🇧🇷

[ivoryjohnson]

It’s great watching your development into the professional pilot that you are now
