What does anybody that has flown the ERJ think of it?

[siucavflight]

are you AE and XJET guys approved for flaps 22 takeoffs?

At AE we are.

Everyone keeps saying how loud it is in the cockpit, I know DCs work in there but will it take my Lightspeed 15 XL that I use for my GA flying and in my turboprop job? It's a typical big, bulky headset but comfy and has decent noise cancelling.

They will work fine. But most of us just use the DC's that are already in the airplane. Some don't like the "clamps" and some are just germ-a-phobs so they use there own.

Okay, thanx, I think I'll use my own for the noise canceling function because it sounds like it'd come in handy in that cockpit. With a lot of transport cat airplanes you can't use the same headsets from GA so that's a relief, it'll save me some money...

LR-ER-EP's are restricted to 250 below 8000

So is any other AC under the FAR's.

ooooops

The airspeed indicator fluctuates "a lot" in the ERJ. My point was that you can not fly 250 "on the nose". Most fly 240 when in the ER-LR-EP's so that you don't get a triple chime master warning message. Everyone in the first 4 rows can hear it. A limitation of 255 or 260 would prevent this. Like I said earlier overspeeds should not be a master warning, an overspeed clacker would be more appropriate.

Also for those of us that fly into Canada on a daily basis, it does make a difference. There is no speed limit in Canada for Departing aircraft. Just an FYI for all those that get an airspeed assignment from ATC greater than 250 during departure in Canada.

Does the master warning above 250 below 8000 occur in the XR or the 170 and 190?

Not in the XR. But loud as all hoely hel1 when you at 4000 doing 320!
