São José dos Campos, September 29, 2009 Embraer received ISA+39ºC certification for its EMBRAER 190 commercial jet, in the third quarter of 2009, from Brazil’s National Civil Aviation Agency (Agência Nacional de Aviação Civil – ANAC) and from the U.S.’s Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). With this certificate, the aircraft will be able to fly without operating restriction in airports located in hot regions, at temperatures of up to 129ºF (54ºC) at sea level.
Â
“The ISA+39ºC certification is one more step in the aircraft’s improvement process, and it will assist many of our customers,†Airline Market. regions, such as the Middle East, Africa, and the Asia Pacific region.â€
says Luciano Castro, Embraer Vice President, Programs –“This optional item extends the EMBRAER 190’s operational scope to hightemperature The aircraft will now be able to land and take off in airports located in hot regions. For customers based in the Middle East, the African continent, and the Asia Pacific region, for instance, the improvement means the possibility to open new routes and increase time schedule flexibility, since it will allow the aircraft to operate during day-time, when temperatures reach extremely high levels.
About the ISA+39ºC certification
International Standard Atmosphere (ISA) is a model that defines temperature, pressure, density, and viscosity of the Earth’s atmosphere, as a function of altitude. According to this model, the standard temperature at sea level, or ISA, is 59ºF (15ºC). Thus, the ISA+39ºC of the certification of the EMBRAER 190 jet refers to a temperature of 129ºF (54ºC) at sea level.
