145 vs 200

I thought the CRJ was better suited for short runways. Is that right?

Takeoff or landing?

For takeoff, it may depend on the vendor used for the performance data.

Dash 8 is better than both, ha... ;-P

I hate how the ERJ cabin wall bends under the seat and does not let me sit with my knees straight. Drives me insane, I need to sit with both feet on the floor for an old injury and no Bueno on taco rocket.

CRJ is the same way.

I dislike how the CRJ cabin air enters along the base of the sidewalls. I avoid sitting in the window seat because when I do my feet, especially the one nearest the wall, gets so cold that it hurts.

They still use those in Europe, why not here any more?

Same reason for forty year-old Diesel 9's over here - companies bought them years ago, and they're paid for. BAE just happens to be the local flavor over in Europe.

Fuel burns of about 5000 pph flying at mach .72 only carrying 69 people. Oh and then there is the extra maintenance cost involved because of the extra engines. NWA got the Avros because at the time it was the only "RJ" they could get. The CRJ and ERJ were both heavily backlogged back then.

The Avro now that's a great rj cabin! They still do well in the Alps and small strips like London city airport. On short legs they do ok. I think some models had almost 90 seats.

I think lycoming built the engines for the Avro, how cool is that!

And it's time for the BAC/AVRO jokes;

It doesn't have 4 engines, it has 4 APUs.

Why did they give it 4 engines? Because 6 wouldn't fit.

That thing actually had a deferral procedure for the engines! I don't know which were worse, those or the 306B's on the 328J that never seemed to stay on wing for very long.

"Pratt & Whitney, reliable engines (except the 306B)" is what the slogan should be.

Good lord, that was one hell of a slam. Never good when the plane bounces off the run way. Im guessing there was a leaky strut or two after that.
