CRJ 200 VS ERJ 145 Project

[Kingairer]

OH, so you're the one who says "Memphis Center NETJETS 34 checking in FOUR_SEVEN_OH" , broadcasting to the world that you sir, are at 470, oh and its "SMOOTH"

Kidding Only!

the only thing on the erj you might be able to consider fly-by-wire would be the thrust levers, they are connected to the fadecs. All the fadecs do is make us lazy, controls the start , ie not adding the fuel, it is automatic. On takeoff you move the thrust levers into the detent and the computer sets the thrust on computed data already entered by someone, ie temp and thrust setting(ALT TO, TO , or E TO on the xrs only) and whether you will be in icing conditions below 1700' agl. The airplane will climb at 1000' / minute to fl 370 from 10,000' while achieving about 300 kias initially decreasing to fl370 at about 240 kias. Roughy .65 mach in leveling off. Every aircraft is different depending on variables. ie newer engines, light load, cooler temps. At fl370 no more than 15 degrees of bank allowed at heavy weights. Aircraft flies nice and stable in all modes of flight. Now if it would only stop doing the honeywell shuffle( it wants to go left or right initially for a turn when cleared direct to a fix from a heading). Those that fly this aircraft knows this tendency. The aircraft is fun to fly.

No Goose….it’s 4-7-zero.
Actually, it is pretty funny listening everyone ask for FL350,370,390 to “get on top.” Then we throw in that the “tops” are at FL430-450. For some reason, everyone gets quiet.

PS….the call sign is really “Execjet xxx.”

NJA Capt, don't suppose you ever fly into Rock Hill, SC do you? I've met a few different NetJets Citation X crews there recently..........I realize you have quite a few crews flying that plane, but thought I'd ask.

Yes, I do. But, I haven't brought a X into Rock Hill. I Got my instrument ticket down there in 1987. I fly in there every now and then with my son.

Oh well, thought maybe you were one of the Capt's who spent a good bit of their time talking with me about NetJets/Citation X. I've been considering NetJets as a possible career for a while now (and the Citation X has been one of my fav biz jets since it's inception), but while these guys weren't openly discouraging, let's just say I'm keeping other options open for right now. Well hey, if you ever fly into UZA again, stop by the flight school and say hey, you'll find me there most every day building that all important TT.

Man, I spent 8 or 12 hours stuck at UZA , waiting for weather to pass while ferrying an AC from the coast to Nashville.

Bastards were closing the FBO, and wouldn't let us stay inside...lol.

We couild, however, crash on the ramp for as long as we liked....

So, we drank coke, slept on the concrete and called Flight Service ever 15 minutes!!
