EMBRAER TRAINS EMBRAER 170/190
CREWS IN EUROPE

Company’s EMBRAER 170 Full Flight Simulator is the first to operate in the Continent
São José dos Campos, August 22, 2005 – Embraer today announced that Europe’s first EMBRAER 170 Full Flight Simulator (FFS) has entered service to provide professional cockpit crew instruction for customers based in the region.

Fully owned by Embraer, the EMBRAER 170 FFS enables highly realistic training to be carried out for the EMBRAER 170/190 aircraft, which count as a single type for rating purposes. The simulator is able to duplicate in full motion all flight conditions for these aircraft, including all-weather flying and even wind shear conditions, as well as emergency situations such as bird strikes and engine failure.

The high degree of commonality among the four members of the EMBRAER 170/190
family results in exceptional advantages for airlines including cross crew qualification
(CCQ), which allows better utilization of training resources without the restrictions
normally associated with mixed-fleet flying.

Manufactured in Canada by CAE, the EMBRAER 170 FFS is based at Swiss Aviation
Training in Zurich. As the preferred training provider for the EMBRAER 170/190 family
in Europe, Swiss Aviation Training has been providing type conversion training for flight
crews, cabin crews and maintenance personnel worldwide since the program’s
inauguration
