Embraer and its partners offer a comprehensive package of technical training courses to all operators.

ERJ-145 Family and Legacy Training System

Aiming at providing customers maintenance and operational training, Embraer and Flight Safety International (FSI) share joint responsibility for management of the ERJ-145 family and Legacy Training System.

The combination of Embraer's technical expertise in design and construction of regional transport aircraft with FSI's expertise in building on-the-job training and maintaining training facilities and programs assures delivery of top quality training programs to Embraer customers.

Maintenance and operational training programs combine computer based classroom instruction (academic) and "hands-on" training. The academic and practical phases are integrated to maximize the transfer of knowledge by practicing the procedures learned in the classroom.

The practical phase involves training in simulators combined with computer-aided training and factory field trips. (Embraer strongly recommends that initial maintenance classes be held at Embraer's facilities in Brazil to allow students to have access to the aircraft).

Training aids used in the academic phase include an Animated Classroom Presentation System (ACPS) which employs a new approach to classroom training, incorporating instructor-led Animated Systems and Walkaround training (Computer based virtual aircraft).
