Default Re: What's it like to fly the CRJ?

It's a love/hate relationship with me. I love it most of the time, but I hate it when I'm climbing through the mid-FL20s and above. The flare is jacked up. To those that say it flies nothing like a Cessna....it actually flares a LOT like a 172, just a whole heck of a lot faster. Try doing the flight deck inspection when it's freezing cold and the airplane is a popsicle, and you'll have to re-do about half of the tests after it warms up. It does hand fly fairly well, but I'm limited in my jet hand flying experience to the -200, so there's not much for me to compare it to. I've seen the books and manuals on the -900. It's nice and shiny, but I'm not gonna fly it until I can hold ATL CA with a decent schedule and afford to move back to Orlando.
