Man, it sounds like you either read the wrong chart (or temp/weight, whatever..) or you seriuosly need to be bring this to the attention of your supervisor. If you consult a table, and it says you can do it, then it should be able to do it (within a VERY reasonable amount), those numbers were certified by the manufacter and the respective aviation authorities.JBcrjca said:I've been quite amazed by the soggy high-altitude climb performance of the 50 seater. I can count on two hands the number of times I've had it to FL410. It has to be cold and light, obviously. Once I had a ship with 75hrs total time on a cold day with 25-30 pax, and the best it could do was FL390...and that was quite a struggle.
The most fun(?) I've had in the CRJ was a few months ago, westbound at 350 with 48 in the back. The controller asked if we could do 390 to help him out with crossing traffic...we consulted the (always optimistic) flip-card and it showed 370 as do-able. He cleared us to 370, and somehow we staggered up there. Once we leveled off, the airspeed held steady for a bit, then began to decrease, even with climb thrust still set. You could see the nose-up deck angle slowly increasing as the speed bled off even more. I requested 350 again and of course the controller said 'in a few minutes'. Then he gave us a slight turn to cross behind traffic, and you could feel the airframe start to buffet. At a tad under 200kts, the shaker started and kicked off the a/p...I told the FO to start down NOW as I told the controller that we were heading back to 350, and I'd declare an emergency if I had to. He came right back with a clearance to 350, of course. Once we got there, everything was just fine. The airplane liked 350 but didn't like 370 one bit. Hey, that was fun, let's do it again sometime! not
If you put CR7 engines on the CR2, then you'd have a great airplane.
