Synopsis
EMB190 pilot reported receiving an aileron fail message in cruise flight. Flight crew continued to destination airport and landed safely.
Narrative
We were flying from ZZZ1-ZZZ at FL370. We were given a sharp left turn to intersect a fix. I originally used the heading selector to initiate the turn to protect our bank angle and prevent a stall from occurring at such high altitudes. As we came around; I armed the NAV mode which immediately captured the GPS course. As the aircraft continued to turn; we got a RH (Right) AILERON FAIL message. I took radios and flight controls while the Captain ran the QRH. Once the QRH was complete; we had a conversation about our options. We ACARS Dispatch and began to create a plan. It quickly became clear that Runway XXL/R in ZZZ were going to pose a problem with the crosswind (wind was 130@18kts). We decided that we would request the RNAV XYR going into ZZZ. This gave us a near direct headwind with a straight in approach. We passed this info along to Dispatch and ZZZ Center. On our way to ZZZ we set up and briefed the approach covering all threats we could think of. Our Vap (Approach Target Speed) was 150kts accounting for the landing distance multiplier and the wind. We did advise our inflight team as a precaution. We also tried to contact Dispatch on radio but were unsuccessful. We continued into ZZZ and were vectored off the ZZZZZ [Approach] around ZZZZZ1. As we crossed through 10;000ft; I disconnected the AP (Autopilot) and elected to hand fly the remainder of the flight. This was in an effort to gain a better feel for the aircraft given the failure. We were vectored onto the RNAV XYR and configured early per the QRH. We were stable at 1;000ft and continued in for an uneventful landing. CFR (Crash Fire Rescue) was standing by just in case something went wrong. After pulling off the Runway; we notified Tower that we would not require any further assistance and we continued to the Gate. The flight was completed without further issues. We wrote up the aileron failure at the Gate.
