Operational Context
Embraer EMB 120 Brasilia — commuter turboprop aircraft
The EMB 120 first flew in 1983 and entered service in 1985. It was developed to meet growing demand for reliable regional transport. The aircraft features a low wing and retractable landing gear.
Two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW118 turboprop engines producing approximately 1,800 shaft horsepower each power the aircraft. Cruise speed approaches 300 knots (556 km/h). Maximum takeoff weight exceeds 26,000 pounds (11,794 kg).
The EMB 120 became a mainstay of commuter airlines in North and South America. Production ended in the early 2000s. Many aircraft remain in cargo and regional service.
