CRJ-900 V-Speeds

[TheOneMarine]

Hey guys, I have an interview with ASA in about 20 days and I know they fly the 700 sim but we have a 900 sim on the PCATD at my job, anyone know the V-speeds so I don't fly like an idiot when practicing with it?

Haven't flown the 900 myself (don't plan to, but that is for another post ) but I assume the 700 is somewhat close on the speeds. Are you talking Vref for approach speeds or just in general?

Approach speeds on the 700 are anywhere from 125 - 140 knots if memory serves, which is slower than the 200 because of the slats. Sorry don't have the flip cards available or otherwise I could give you precise numbers

Oh and good luck on the interview!

You're a dork! 125-140 is *exactly* correct (I know this because I'm sitting in one waiting on flow to ORD, not because I memorize speed cards ).

Flap speeds for the 700 and 900 are 215 (flaps 1,8, and 20), 185 (30), and 170 (45). You can drop the gear below 220.

Takeoff speeds vary a LOT. Good luck!

Oh no!! You got me!



(wow I actually knew something)

Have fun with the flow, I gots myself some west coast flying the next few days I heard the Madison airport is shut down the next two days! Where are you?

Those are company speeds by the way. Aircraft speeds are 230 for 1, 8 and 20. Gear is anywhere below 250.

V1/2/R are all going to be flap/weight/runway dependent.

Good point--215 is a SKW thing, but I'm pretty sure 220 is actually placarded for Vlo (ext).

Bike-I was in Memphis. ORD was cruddy all day. I wish I had more west coast stuff.

Saturday is going to be worse, and I have 4 legs that day!

220 in the 700, 250 in the 200.

I wouldn't really worry about the v-speeds for your interview. And don't they do the eval in a 200 sim?

[TheOneMarine]

The recruiter told me the 700 sim. I just want to know them so I can practice holding the speeds on a PCATD. I've flown it twice and it is a whole different animal since the PCATD is so sensitive. I think my chances went up quite a bit by just messing with it because if that would have been my first time at the interview I would have failed miserably!

Just hold the speeds in the speed bug.

Heh. Enjoy the holding pad for the center runway, did ya? Wonder how many Flagships kept parking next to you waiting on numbers. It's been chaotic lately in MEM on Sundays. I think they don't even have the B or C crew working. It's more like the K or L crew.

I did the 700 sim, but my training partner actually did the ATR sim. Go figure

They will use whatever sim is open at the time. Sometimes it's the 700, other times it's the 200. I wouldn't worry too much about the speeds, they will tell you exactly what speeds to fly.
