What is the glide speed with one engine inoperative (Vglide) for the ERJ 170/175?

The glide speed with one engine inoperative (Vglide) for the ERJ 170/175 is identified as 135 KIAS. This speed is critical for maintaining optimal performance during a single-engine glide scenario. It allows the aircraft to achieve the best lift-to-drag ratio, enabling pilots to control descent and distance effectively.

Selecting the correct glide speed is essential for maximizing the aircraft's range and ensuring that you can reach a suitable landing area in the event of an engine failure. Understanding this limitation helps pilots maintain the necessary airspeed for safety and performance in emergency situations. It's imperative that crew members are familiar with these specifications to respond efficiently to in-flight challenges.
