EFIS tubes? ISA + 35 is a take off performance limitation. Higher altitudes and temperatures result in less wing efficiencies, longer take off rolls, etc. This limitation makes sure you can achieve the climb segments the aircraft was certified for.
What is the high-end on Boeing equipment? Does Southwest ever shut down operations in PHX? How the rampers handle that kind of heat is beyond me...
-40C is not a hard number for the RJ. That's bulk fuel temp. I've flown -65C before. We lived. Dont ever trust a dispatcher.
you should either clarify your statement or stop telling people your tale altogether. Keep in mind, this thread is discussing the takeoff temp limits of the crj.
From the crj-200 prm vol 2: "minimum ambient temperature approved for takeoff is -40*c (-40*f)."
the same temp limit applies to starting a cold-soaked apu on the ground.
Now let's visit the "bulk fuel temp" limits: "takeoff with the bulk fuel temperature indications below the limits stated is prohibited.
Bulk fuel takeoff limit-minimum temperature (astm d1655, jet a): -30*c.
Bulk fuel freezing point (astm d1655, jet a): -40*c.
During flight, bulk fuel temperature must remain above the applicable bulk fuel freezing point."
so, in relation to what the op posted, -40* actually is a hard number for departures in the crj.

Dispatch says +40, so it must be OK.
After reading this thread, all I can say is: I stand by my signature line.-40C is not a hard number for the RJ. That's bulk fuel temp. I've flown -65C before. We lived. Dont ever trust a dispatcher.

How warm does it get for this to happen?
