CRJ200 Data

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.
Yeah, now that Vfo8-20 are ridiculously low, the rates are way down.
 
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.

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. :p

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

Try a google search like:
site:www.easa.europa.eu "CRJ-200"
or
site:*.faa.gov "CRJ-200"
Don't call the AOG number (they're busy dealing with me)
