If you fly the CRJ you have or will experience some sort of flaps failure. That's why it's a required item on every recurrent at just about every airline that operates the CRJ.

The EMER FLAP is just like a flap handle that will extend the slats to 25 degrees and flaps to 20. There are very few instances in the QRH that will lead you to use it, it's mostly used if the flap/slat lever has somehow been disconnected and won't command the flaps/slats to move. It works to extend and retract the flaps/slats. If the PDU's conk out you're SOL. (Guess who's teaching 700 differences right now )
