With the power set the aircraft accelerates rapidly down the runway and lifts off in about 4,000’. Using the go-around setting on the flight director I pitch the aircraft into the V-bars for the climb and start cleaning up the gear and flaps as we accelerate.

One of the nice features of the feelThere ERJ is the ability to expand each of the three major EFIS tubes to a larger size, allowing for easy viewing of the displays. When all three are expanded the tubes fill the bottom of the screen.

After hand flying the aircraft through 10,000’ and accomplishing the required SID procedure I turn to the autopilot to assume control. The autopilot control panel will be familiar to most add-on aficionados and shares common features with most advanced autopilots. I roll the altitude pre-select up to FL360 and engage the Flight Level Change (FLC) mode which climbs the aircraft at a preset speed depending on the altitude (240 below 10K, then 270 until Mach .56 intercept). The EFIS tubes contain a wealth of information allowing for a minimum of “heads down” time in the cockpit to look at the FMS data. Track, waypoint distance, groundspeed, Mach number and autopilot modes are combined with all of the traditional data to provide a one-stop-shop for aircraft performance and navigation. It may look a bit “busy” but the data is useful and you quickly grow to enjoy the compact presentation.

At the bottom of the center EFIS tube are multiple menu pages that allow you to browse the aircraft systems. Five different pages provide data on general aircraft condition, environmental, fuel, hydraulic, and electrical systems. Abnormalities can quickly be identified using the graphical displays. There are many other display modes and features as well including options for varying levels of information on the moving map display (airports, navaids), true north or relative heading modes, navigation bearing pointers, time-to-go or ETA displays, EHIS full or arc mode, etc.
