The lights are an option and most airlines haven't elected for them. The status of the switches is noted along the top of the PFD display: active, armed or no indication when switch is off.

FeelThere_Vic Posted December 27, 2019 Report Share Posted December 27, 2019 The gap is noted. The LED is a feature and every single pilot we ever worked on the EMBs (10+ years) confirmed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobflight Posted December 29, 2019 Report Share Posted December 29, 2019 another video showing no LEDs on the glareshield - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonPC Posted December 30, 2019 Report Share Posted December 30, 2019 I wonder how much money Embraer saves by making this a requested feature, hah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
