I was on Airlinets.net and I seem to notice the CRJ-700's landing lights seemed to be xenon? can anyone please confirm that, or does the aircraft just use regular halogen and the camera made it seem like it was xenon. Also what other U.S. carriers have the 700's. Thank you

It's not Xenon, but an HID lamp. Same as you would find on a new BMW or Mercedes, only brighter.
 
The CR7 is flown by Skywest, Mesa, ASA, Comair, PSA, Horizon.

Those lights may look cool, but don't do squat. I don't feel comfortable taxiing with them at night.
 
Geez, I thought only 'my employer' had 'clown nosed' jets running around..
 
I thought about making a special photo feature of the website about a year ago to show all of the livery combinations, but I'm a little paranoid after the whole "Queen of Sky" fiasco from last year.
 
No doubt man. It's such a pain in the ass having to tap dance around crap. Grrr...

And the two-point conversion for having a DCI-nose! Man!

Dumb question.....but is the CRJ type rating akin to the DC-9 one, in the sense of a type in one is a type rating in all models?
 
I'm pretty sure the answer there is yes. I know Mesa guys have to go through differences training to be able to fly all the different variants, though.
 
But, is the type rating the same? You have to go thru differences training between the -9, -88, -90, 717, but it's not an FAA 'type ride' because they're all DC-9s.
 
That I'm not sure of. My best friend is only a lowly FO, so he just did the differences training. Like I said, I'm guessing it's the same type, but we'll have to wait for Bog, Denny or one of the other Barbie Jet drivers to tell us fo sho.
 
The type rating is for the CL-65. That covers all 3. Two days of differences training "teaches" the -7 and -9.

That's not a DCI nose cone, Doug. That's a USAirways Express nose cone.
 
Looked blue and red to me, oh well, two-point conversion DENIED!
