On the CRJ are the flaps considered flight controls?
I would consider them secondary flight controls, but does it matter what aircraft it is?

A flap failure by itself is not an emergency, if the only runway is questionable such as braking action, etc. maybe so.
If your company mandates it to be an emergency, so be it.
It's not that big of a deal, I've had a few myself, no biggie.
Really? Our company considers it an emergency and so does every other 121 carrier I know of. It is an abnormal landing on the CRJ, and depending on weight, it can be very close to max tire speed. You should always declare an emergency with a flap failure so that CFR is standing by in case of tire burst, brake overheat, or running off the end of the runway.
yet another paranoid scardie cat. A flap failure is NOT an emergency. In fact in training we were taught is not an emergency unless combined with other failures. Sheesh too many people live in fear.
