STEEP approach setup

Set landing data

Arm STEEP / configure ^[164]

On LANDING INIT, change the landing flap entry to FULL. Arm STEEP, then select gear down and flaps FULL at the appropriate time.

Choose an E190 or E195 and a published steep approach with appropriate landing data.

Armed and active

White armed / green

Gear down and FULL among active conditions

FSS lists gear down and FULL flaps among the activation conditions and documents the feature for E190/E195. It says the MCDU landing-flap default is 5, so check and change the entry for a steep approach.

Compare the white armed and green active indications and monitor the aircraft’s path and energy.

Variant and configuration

If the mode does not activate, check aircraft variant, configuration and the installed build rather than trying it on an unsupported variant.
