Embraer E2 jets Receive EASA Certification for ROAAS Safety Technology
July 17, 2026
· This innovation continuously monitors landing conditions using predictive algorithms, providing timely alerts that help pilots identify and mitigate potential runway overruns risks
São José dos Campos, Brazil, July 17, 2026 – Embraer (NYSE: EMBJ / B3: EMBJ3) today announced that the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has certified the Runway Overrun Awareness and Alerting System (ROAAS) for the E-Jet E2 family of aircraft. The certification follows the recent approval granted by Brazil’s National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC), representing another important milestone in the deployment of this innovative safety technology.
ROAAS is a technology designed to help prevent runway overruns during landing operations. The energy-based system continuously monitors the aircraft’s condition and calculates landing performance in real time, both during approach and after touchdown. When a potential risk of exceeding runway limits is identified, the system provides alerts to the flight crew, enhancing situational awareness and supporting safer decision-making.
This innovation utilizes Embraer-developed algorithms to calculate airplane landing performance and evaluate the aircraft’s ability to safely stop within the available runway length.
“Safety is Embraer’s highest priority, and the certification of ROAAS by EASA represents an important achievement for our E2 program in compliance with European aviation authority mandate and on time,” said Luís Carlos Affonso, Chief Technology Officer. “This innovative technology reinforces our commitment to continually advancing aviation safety through practical, intelligent solutions that support pilots and help prevent runway excursions.”
ROAAS was developed to provide crews with enhanced awareness and actionable information, enabling proactive decision-making whenever landing performance margins become reduced.
Key benefits of ROAAS include:
· Enhanced crew situational awareness of landing performance margins;
· Reduced risk of runway overruns during landing operations;
· Real-time predictive alerting capability;
· Improved operational safety.
The EASA certification expands the availability of ROAAS to E2 operators across Europe and other regions that recognize EASA approvals, further strengthening the E-Jet E2 family’s position as one of the most advanced and safest single-aisle aircraft available today.
