OK I give up. Why do CRJ spoilers click instead of a smooth motion

[Captain X]

Better than our spoilers in the ERJ..... I love the plane but those spoilers suck

Better than the POS in the 737. I still can't figure out why they even installed the lever in the type.

Now that we can't extend flaps until 200 kts, I'm using the spoilers all the time.

I heard that the spoilers on that thing is like sticking your finger out the window of your car!

bad planning or poor piloting?

Probably both if he's a product of the Auburn flight school.

Ive found that if you slowly pull the lever out of the detent and simultaneously lift on it as you pull back...putting upward pressure on it as you increase the amount of spoilers...it tends to deploy MUCH smoother and not give that annoying thunk noise and bump in the ride...same thing when stowing them....so lets recap...like all of your mothers...just give it a gentle pull upwards and watch it come out nice and smooth without any bumps.

Sounds kinky... Maybe you should share this technique with the Gen. He could try it out on Ned the next time he gets back to LBB (prolly next week-that horndog has a rep.)

All I know is i just found a nice representation of you and Gen Lee's last date...

What's the deal with ovaltine

He's gotta good point. It does come in a round jar. They SHOULD call it roundtine.

They click into place to allow the passengers to realize the jackass flying doesn't know how to plan his descent properly.

Really? When was the last time you flew on the east coast?
All day long we get "Decend at best rate, maintain 210kts."

I've been wondering on and off why the CRJ engineers put the seemingly inexplicable "click" system in the spoiler system, making for unnecessarily choppy spoiler deploy and stow cycles? I've often thought (while staring out the window during the Captain's introductory briefing), about what the possible reason could be, and I have yet to come up with an answer.

So, I figured those of you who have more stripes than I do might know.

So that you know you actually moved the spoilers by a set of increments. The MD-80 spoilers are much heavier and noisier...

LMFAO!:laugh::laugh:

you love it because you don't know any different.
