Incident: Chautauqua CRJ2 near Cleveland on Jan 19th 2010, electrical problems​

A Chautauqua Airlines Canadair CRJ-200, flight RP-5507 from Boston,MA to Cleveland,OH (USA) with 55 passengers, was on approach to Cleveland, when one of the electrical busses suffered a power loss and smoke became visible. The crew continued for a safe landing and shut the airplane down on the runway, the passengers deplaned and were bussed to the terminal.​

The airport reported, the runway had to be closed for 11 minutes after the airplane experienced an electrical power loss. Smoke could be seen when the airplane landed. The airplane was later towed to the gate.​

The airplane's next scheduled flight RP-5604 to Baltimore had to be cancelled.​

The FAA reported the following day, that the AC bus was lost causing the RAT (RAM Air Turbine) to deploy during the approach. The brakes locked on landing causing the main gear tyres to blow during the landing roll out. The registration of the airframe is still unknown.​

guess there were some infants on board

55 people!? ya, maybe infants or bad reporting...

either way, glad everyone is safe. Wonder if it has anything to do with that ASA CRJ that randomly caught on fire (electrical too) at the gate last summer

55:

3 crew + 1 jumpseat + 50 pax + 3 lap kids.

You may want to double check your math there ace...

I wonder if you could have 100 pax on a 50 seat RJ...if everyone was holding a lap child, can it be done? (i realize the chance is ZERO of that but can it be done)

That ASA fire was caused by an electrical short behind CBP1, and a leak in the jumpseat oxygen line.

No. There is a third set of 02 marks on the right hand side of the plane only. Max capacity is 65 which includes 3 crew, 1 jump, 11 lap children. (no kids in emer exit)

These planes are showing their age. It seems rare to find a 100% operational 200 now days.

Can't have more infants than infant life vests on board. The FAA has determined they do not float.

Some CRJ have three 02 masks on both sides so the limiting factor is life vests.

We had a checkairman who's favorite question was how many people can you get on a 200 and a 700. The 200 is 59 (50 passenger + 5 infants + 2 pilots + 1 FA + 1 Jumpseater) and the 700 is 82 (70 passengers + 7 infants + 2 pilots + 2 FAs + 1 Jumpseater).

Useless AND annoying trivia.
