EASA Certifies Embraer E2 ROAAS Following July 1 Runway Overrun Mandate

Embraer secured European Union Aviation Safety Agency certification for the Runway Overrun Awareness and Alerting System on its E-Jet E2 family, enabling immediate deployment for European operators[1][8]. This approval fulfills EASA’s mandatory runway overrun prevention requirement for newly built large aircraft types effective 1 July 2026, following an 18-month deadline deferral[1]. The system continuously monitors aircraft status and calculates landing performance in real time during approach and after touchdown, alerting pilots when exceeding runway limits poses a risk[1][7]. Runway excursions rank as the third-leading cause of commercial jet fatal accidents, making this regulator-backed installation readiness critical for E2 safety and competitiveness in the regional aviation segment[2][8]. Certification follows prior approval from Brazil’s ANAC, though sources do not specify applicability across all E2 variants or include retrofit timelines for existing operators[1][7].
