Embraer E145 Cockpit Panels The following pages depict the various instrument panels located in the cockpit of the Embraer E145 Regional Jet. Along with these depictions are text box captions that describe the function of most of the buttons and switches that control the various systems on the aircraft. Keep in mind that as aircraft modifications occur, such as ADs, Service Bulletins, etc., the captions may become inaccurate or incomplete. The captions are not all inclusive and are intended as a supplemental study aid to be used in conjunction with the appropriate approved aircraft systems and operations manuals. Because space is limited for the captions the use of acronyms and abbreviations is necessary. The table that follows lists the acronyms and abbreviations used that may not be readily discernable by the reader. Warning and Disclaimer Every effort has been made to make this information as accurate as possible, but no warranty or fitness is implied. The information provided is on an “as is” basis. The author shall have neither liability or responsibility to any person or entity with respect to any loss or damages arising from the information contained herein. - Captain Bill de Groh

First press: Splits the NAV window into two windows. Top window displays active VOR frequency. The lower window, with the DME Label, displays the active DME frequency in VHF format. An H (DME Hold) is displayed in the DME window and on the PFD to show DME not paired with active VOR/ILS freq. The DME may then be tuned directly by pressing the LSK beside the DME window. Second press: Displays the TACAN channel format and will allow tuning to the DME portion of any TACAN station. Third press: Reverts NAV window to normal DME operation.
