Yes that is unusual. Early in the days of the CRJ there were alot of Flap Fail msg and resulted in lots of no flap or reduced flap landings. With the some mods on the flaps and reduced flap extention speeds that seem to reduce the number of failures. I'm guessing that three today with the number of aircraft out there and number of landings per day that isn't much in the scheme of things.FL000 said:Tires are good to 182kts. As far as length, we'll take all we can get, but 5000-6000 would do in a pinch.
While the longer the runway the better I found that the CRJ performed well with reduced flaps. In 1994 we had a Flap Fail msg at 8 degrees (before the days of 8 degree flaps) to KATW. We landed on the 7001' runway and used abit less than 3500' with a ref speed of about 173 KIAS. It suprised us both that it was as easy as we experienced. It must have been the excellent training.
