"7" to "9" differences

[atlcrjdriver]

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

CR7 to CR9

feel better?

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.

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?

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.

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!

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

You ever seen scrub marks on the nose and main tires? The 3-4" patches where there's lots of small tears and holes? You ever wonder where they come from? Not hard landings.

Once you line up on the runway, you have all the time in the world to look out at the world before you. And don't tell me you can't see out the side window when you're not turned exactly 90 degrees from the runway. You most definitely can.

Why? I've heard ATR-72 pilots saying to others that they fly the "seven two".

I assume you're being facetious.

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.

:laugh:

He probably never thought of that because it's absolute bullsh**.

And never said it "disturbed" him. He said it's his favorite.

Do you have any idea how hard pivoting is on the gear?

Do they talk in a slow, deep voice on the radio with "and uhhh...." at the beginning of each transmission like real 747 pilots do?

It's call tradition....When your only 21 and 120K in dept from und or Riddle you'll never understand.

The 7 has props and the 9 has JT8D's...we're talking Douglas products right?

Nope. We are talking about "Heavy" RJs.

Is the -900 really restricted to FL250 with a single pack? The -700 is able up to FL310...got a memo on the -700/-900 changes and I'm thinking they made a mistake?
