The first entry is always the pin's source. Overall confidence is a weighted average of how firmly each reference supports the start and end times used above; a reference counts half as much for every 180 days older than the newest.
Simple Flying[3]: 'The prototype aircraft first flew on July 27, 1983'; Wikipedia[2], Airfleets and Aviacionline agree. Embraer's own history page and Aeropedia[4] give 29 July 1983, the day of the official presentation and christening, so the day is disputed by two days.
Lists first flight 27 July 1983 and the October 1985 service entry with Atlantic Southeast Airlines.[1]
States the prototype first flew on July 27, 1983 and gives service history.[1]
Gives 29 July 1983 for the first flight and the production-aircraft specifications.[1]
Something missing or wrong? Say it in your own words: a link that backs this pin up, a different start or end date and why, or a fact it lacks or gets wrong. The AI checks it against this pin's sources, searches for better ones, and adds any page that backs you up. The pin's own sources still count most. A picture that shows something else, or shows it badly, is looked at too, and moved down or replaced.
I have flown aboard the EMB 110 Bandeirante and EMB 120 Brasília dozens of times, and there are not enough words to describe the difference. I could practically hear a pin drop in the interior of the Brasília
The Brasilia had air conditioning and there was low noise and vibration in the cabin.
For operators, the selling points were practical rather than abstract: a pressurised cabin, competitive cruise, and a service ceiling that enabled more weather avoidance and better ride quality on typical regional routes.
