With respect to the Company's consolidated firm
order backlog value in USD, Embraer will be releasing the value of
its consolidated 1Q18 backlog together with the 1Q18 earnings
results on April 27, 2018, as it is
now part of the Financial Statements according to the new IFRS 15
requirements.
The quarter's main highlight was the triple certification for
the E190-E2, the first member of the E-Jets E2 family of commercial
aircraft, from the Brazilian Civil Aviation Agency (Agência
Nacional de Aviação Civil – ANAC), the FAA (Federal Aviation
Administration) and EASA (European Aviation Safety Agency). It is
the first time that an aircraft program with the level of
complexity of the E2 receives a type certificate from three major
worldwide certification authorities simultaneously.
Before the certification, Embraer announced some final flight tests
results confirming the E2 as the most efficient single-aisle
aircraft on the market. In fuel consumption, the E190-E2 proved to
be 1.3% better than originally expected, a 17.3% improvement
compared to the current- generation E190.
The E190-E2 also becomes the most environmentally friendly
aircraft in its class, with the lowest levels of external noise and
emissions. Flight test results also confirmed the E190-E2 to be
better than its original specification in takeoff performance. The
aircraft's range from airports with hot-and-high conditions, such
as Denver and Mexico City, increases by 600 nm compared to
current-generation aircraft. Its range from airports with short
runways, such as London City, also
increases by more than 1,000 nm allowing the aircraft to reach
destinations like Moscow and
cities in the north of Africa.
The E190-E2 will also have the longest maintenance intervals
among single-aisle aircraft with 10,000 flight hours for basic
checks and no calendar limit for typical utilization. This means an
additional 15 days of aircraft utilization over ten years compared
to current generation E-Jets. Another key gain is with pilot
transition training time. Pilots of current-generation E-Jets will
need only 2.5 days of training and no full flight simulator to be
qualified to fly an E2.
Embraer Defense & Security announced, at the Singapore
Airshow, the signing of a Letter of Intent with aviation services
company SkyTech for up to six new KC-390 multi-mission transport
aircraft. The aircraft are earmarked for multiple defense projects
and both companies have also agreed on a potential strategic
collaboration to jointly explore new business opportunities in
training and services.
During 1Q18, Embraer delivered the first new Phenom 300E
business jet after receiving certification from the U.S. Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA), the European Aviation Safety Agency
(EASA), and the Brazilian Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC – Agência
Nacional de Aviação Civil). The new light jet model was
launched—and debuted—at the 2017 National Business Aviation
Association's Business Aviation Conference and Exhibition
(NBAA-BACE), in October 2017.
