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.
Owned.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.
How warm does it get for this to happen?
