@mapleavenue77. Already since September 2009 BA has been bluiding an all new Embraer LCY fleet, consisting of 6 E170's and shortly 7 E190's. Nothing got changed regarding LCY's runway, it's just a very capable aircraft. Still very short! On a good day we can almost takeoff out of LCY at Max Takeoff Weight on the E170. The E190 has been specially adapted and branded the E190 SR. (Short Runway)
NIce video. I can only fly this approach on my Flight Simulator X, and I'm glad to see the real thing. Interesting to see LCY evolving. Just a few years ago the tarmac had mostly Avro RJs, and now the E-Jet is starting to take over.
It's a new type for British Airways from London City Airport. They operate both this and it's bigger sister the Embraer 190. It replaces all their old aircraft.
Really no need to be scared of flying in general. Statistically still the safest way to travel. You'll like our new Embraer jets. New and modern aircraft with an excellent safety record. Maybe I'll be flying you if you let me know the flightnumber/time/date. (pm possible)
Well, it was more suttle than you'd expect and indeed plenty of spare runway. Flight was nearly full. Autobrake medium is the max we use upon landing at LCY.
Fantastic video and great choice of music!

How long have E170/190s been going into London City? I've just started to notice them recently.
Did they lengthen the runway? I thought it was an STOL airport.

It seemed like he was really hammering the brakes there, but there was actually quite a bit of room left over.

It's a really nice and comfortable aircraft. Not only for our passengers but also for us crew. Our E190's have even got a 34inch pitch!
