Nose High Landing

[1B9Pilot]

Hey All,
I came across the video on Youtube and the nose seems really high. I know that the CRJ has different weight restrictions but is this normal?

Full flaps, full stall landing, I bet the stall horn was screaming so loud it prolly hurt their ears.

Wait, that ain't a 172...nevermind! :dunno:

What does weight have to do with that landing?

That would have been much more impressive if it was a -200

talk about 'megaflare'...

I'd like to see a turbowhacker in a megaflare.

That'd be epic.

Dang....

LOL yea. Probably the most it can do is around 7.5 - 9 degrees nose up with the tail touching the runway.


The flare in the video looks unusually high. I recall someone on the forum talking about that type of landing in a CRJ.

There's the thread I believe. Those of you who do fly the RJ, is this what was being discussed in the thread?

Ref speed.

Not that it changes all that much with weight differences but even 10 knots will change your pitch a little bit.

For what ever reason there are a bunch of people out there that insist on landing the plane like that. One little gust and you're going to be in a world of hurt, but they apparently think it can't (or won't) happen to them.
