Flying in a jetliner is extraordinarily safe: There has been only one fatal crash in the United States in the past five years, an astounding record considering that more than 30,000 flights take off every day.

NEW E-Jets Series

Wilco Publishing has announced it is producing a highly detailed Embraer 170 and 190 Pilot-In-Command (PIC) and as a bonus the Lineage 1000, the luxury version of the Embraer 190 for FSX and FS2004.

Some of the features of the new E-Jets Series will include:

• About all systems simulated : electrical, pneumatic, hydraulic, pressurization system, bleed air, air conditioning, two generators/engines, FADEC with ATTCS function, test system.
• Computerized Management System called Full Authority Digital Engine Control (FADEC) (optimizes engine operation during all phases of the flight and, in turn, reduces fuel consumption and maintenance costs).
• Very accurate Auto Pilot with overspeed and stall recovery systems, just like the real thing.
• APU sequences fully simulated and linked to fuel consumption : follow the correct procedures to avoid dry fuel tanks during flight.
• Ice detection fully simulated.
