Canadair Lounge The Magenta Banana?

[atpduck]

Not a single post in the Canadair Lounge? I think flying the ol’ deuce canoe was a rite of passage. Made me appreciate the CRJ 700, and then enjoy the life of luxury that is the E175.

My first jet was the-200. It was a rocket up to 10K then it turned to a 152. EFIS COMP MON!

I remember Rhode Island to LA, and then someone with an “A” name liking it rough.

Warmer, but not quite.

FLAPS FAIL

Never had so much as a flaps halfspeed.

The APU even worked most of the time.

It was my bread and butter and I'll not hear a bad word about it.

Those were my biggies, oh how I miss having an EICAS. Don’t miss having to do unpressurized takeoffs and landings in order to run the anti ice because the company decided to run MEL 49-00-01 to the max all winter long.

Now it’s all just a sea of lightbulbs…

I wish! Both our airplanes have had this issue.

What year did you start flying the 200? Once most companies lowered the extention speeds, the problems decreased. Prior to that though it was an almost daily occurrence in a 50 plane fleet.

2015. I'm sure it was all sorted by then.

Yeah. I think the speeds changed in 2008 and 2009.

 

[Cessnaflyer]

Yeah. I think the speeds changed in 2008 and 2009.

What were the speeds changed to?

I don't remember. It was 4 airplanes and 15 years ago. I vaguely remember a 210 in there somewhere. They decreased the flaps 8 and 20 speeds by about 10 or 15 knots I think.

Vfo8 = Vfo20 = 200 KIAS as far as the Mormons were concerned.

Don't ask how I remember that.

On the 604 we have a Vfe of 231 for 20°, 197 for 30°, and 189 for 45°. We try to add the 20° at 200 but we keep getting flap fails. Our mechanics have gone through many parts and tests to find the culprit.
