"7" to "9" differences

[WalterSobchak]

I'll take an E175 any day vs a CR9 (from both a pilot and pax perspective). Back to the original topic...

Thanks for sharing.

It may only be 2K of thrust, but due to the fact that flying for Delta you are limited to 76 seats, it performs like there is much more than 2K lbs.

I can't believe this thread is called "7" to "9."

Really...you can't....you are on F.I. and you really cant believe it?

The fuselage is longer, keep this in mind when making turns to make sure you don't run the mains into the dirt.

Does this mean I'll get to witness those "Heavy" turns as you hold short of the runways in ATL?
Here's to you Mr. CRJ Heavy Driver. :beer:

Yeah baby...

There are some "Real American Heroes" at Comair that make a huge production out of position and hold in the 700 & 900. You'd think they were rolling in a 747 the way they make the slow, very dramatic 90 degree arc from a standstill. I loved it when tower would say, "Any time Comair".

Enjoy flying the regional heavy, Acey. It does perform well with 76 seats.

No kidding! My favorite is when they do that "heavy turn" to line up perpendicular to the HOLD SHORT line for the runway. Some pilots just have more seniority than brains!

CR7 to CR9

feel better?

 

[Blade Runner]

Why flare, the 700 lands just fine flat...

Don't want to be flat in the 900, expect firm landings until you get the feel for it. Otherwise a nice airplane to fly.

Seriously, we need to put a stop to calling the CRJ-900 the "9" before it spreads any further.

CR7 to CR9

feel better?

Hey, it doesn't bother me, it just makes whoever uses the term sound like a poser. To each is own.

8:53 would be better?

 

[say again]

8:53 would be better?

Hahahaha!!! I like it.:beer:

 

[ILS8L]

flare

Flare to land = Squat to pee

How dare a mere regional pilot pose as a "real" airline pilot?!?!

I see no difference between a regional guy saying 9 for short instead of CRJ900, and a major guy saying 9 for short instead of DC-9, as long as the context makes the meaning clear. Only members with small members feel threatened by stupid phrases.

This is a source of amusement to me and I hope it continues.

Get a life, does this really disturb you? Some may choose to do this "heavy turn" in which you speak of to take a look at some significant weather or terrain on the radar in perhaps their direction of flight.
Ever think of that?................Tool
