CRJ200 Data

[Autothrust Blue]

Quite heavy for their size, they would work quite well.

I half-jokingly would like to install wifi kit back there, as it is the right number of pounds installed at the right distance from datum.

Only superior aviators can fly it.

I know for a fact that this is complete hogwash. I got over 2000 hours in type and if I can fly it, any banjo playing redneck can!

Might as well make it practical. Years ago AWAC welded 200 pounds to the cargo bin floor of their fleet.

Datum sounds good.

The CRJ-200.............. so easy, a 250 hr pilot can fly it!

As a captain who pretty routinely flew with sub 300 hour guys, I can safely say that most (although not all) were along for the ride.

Are VGs used?

Are VGs used?

Yes

 

[nibake]

Along the entire length of the wing or just certain portions?

Huh? The VG system is used in the engines unless I misinterpreted VG to mean something else.

He's talking about vortex generators. You're talking about variable geometry, I assume?

And no VG's on the wings.

 

[nibake]

lol. That explains it! Thanks.

I guess I won't write much about the "flying brick" wings

Nobody wants to hear or admit it, but nothing has changed (with respect to the tendency to have to hang on by the static wicks, that is) at 1,500 hours.

"I cannot control this from the flight deck, why are you telling me?"

It's a ground-loving (aw, I can't call it a ho) with trailing edge flaps only that have positions 8 (optional), 20, 30, and 45.

...and whatever setting it got to before faulting.

It seems like they've really reduced the number of these occurrences. In a year and a half on the plane, I've yet to have a flap problem.

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.
