CRJ200 – Limitations
Posted by Jeffrey on October 7, 2008
Like any airplane, the CRJ200 has a few limitations but they are straightforward. If you think you are going to be flying the CRJ any time soon, you will want to memorize the limitations because you can bet that they will be on your oral exam when the time comes. So start studying them now and make it so that they are easily remembered. You may want to link back to this page so that you can find it when you need it. One thing that has always helped me memorize numbers, instead of just rot memorization, is to try and find some significance in the numbers. That will help you burn the numbers into your long term memory. Also, remember to review them often.
(Note: Always refer to your company’s Flight Operations Manual.)
