CRJ-200 useful life?

[dbert]

I have an old sales document that says:

Designed for Annual Utilization of 4000 Flights with with an Economic Repair Life of 60,000 Hours or 80,000 Cycles

Hard to imagine that.

ASA will fly them till one crashes due to stress factures.

The ERJ should last about 15K hours.

The ERJ should last about 15K hours.

You fo serious?

 

[rjacobs]

The ERJ should last about 15K hours.

Now sure how many hours we have on some at XJT, but I know we have some with over 40k cycles. C checks are due every 10k cycles and we have airplanes approaching their 5th c check. There are only 5 c checks per EMB, no D checks exist.

CRJ was built by the Canadians which is as good as being built by the French, so they don't have much life left.

I guess you would rather mexicans building your airplanes?

And they are only partly built in Canada.
Fusulage is made at the shorts factory in Ireland.
Wings are made in Texas.
Engines are also made in the USA.
Useless avionics and autopilot is made in the USA.
Final assembly is done in Canada.

I thought the wings were made in Japan by Mitsubishi.

Maybe not but the DC-9 was the original RJ.

Yeah Right.
The DC-9 runs circles around the BarbieJet.
At least the DC-9 has a true stand-up interior and you can actually store items in the overhead that are bigger than a coinpurse.

The reference to the 9 was in response to the number of cycles the 200 would have because of it's regional flying.... We all know the 9 is much larger and more comfortable.
