Embraer announced that the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has certified the Runway Overrun Awareness and Alerting System (ROAAS) for its E-Jet E2 family, marking a key regulatory approval for the safety technology designed to help prevent runway overruns during landing.
The certification followed the recent approval of the system by Brazil’s National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC), enabling broader deployment of the technology on the E-Jet E2 aircraft family.
According to Embraer, ROAAS continuously monitored aircraft conditions during approach and after touchdown using energy-based predictive algorithms. The system calculated landing performance in real time and alerted flight crews when it detected a potential risk of the aircraft exceeding the available runway length.
“Safety is Embraer’s highest priority, and the certification of ROAAS by EASA represents an important achievement for our E2 program in compliance with European aviation authority mandate and on time,” said Luís Carlos Affonso, Chief Technology Officer at Embraer, further adding; “This innovative technology reinforces our commitment to continually advancing aviation safety through practical, intelligent solutions that support pilots and help prevent runway excursions.”

The technology used proprietary algorithms to assess whether the aircraft could safely stop within the available runway distance, providing pilots with timely alerts to improve situational awareness and support operational decision-making.
Embraer said it developed ROAAS to provide flight crews with enhanced awareness and actionable information, allowing them to make proactive decisions when landing performance margins became reduced.
