I thought VG meant Vaginal Groping?

Yeah, now that Vfo8-20 are ridiculously low, the rates are way down.A) you've now set yourself up for a flap fail the next time you are going in to a sub 6000 foot runway.
B) reducing the flap extension speeds below the manufacturer limit speeds help a bunch.
C) there was a software update in 2012 (I think?) that cut down on anomalous skew sensor readings that caused the flap brakes to apply.
A buddy of mine still managed to get the dreaded flap fail message in cruise at FL300 a couple weeks ago. He said the landing and roll out took 8000' of runway so the sim doesn't lie.
Don't call the AOG number (they're busy dealing with me)You could ask for tech pubs from Bombardier at https://mro.aero.bombardier.com. They might give them to you for free if you specify it is for academic research/paper. Don't call the AOG number though.
Another possibility are public documents from the certifcation process from either the FAA, CAA or EASA, like https://www.easa.europa.eu/system/files/dfu/20130910 CRJ OEB Report.pdf
