CRJ 200 Flaps
First - yes this could be posted in the technical forum, but I figured I'd get more replies here. This is a regional aircraft in the regional forum, so I'm hoping it will stay here.
What's the deal with all the CRJ 200 operators? Are you guys noticing placards below the flap lever saying 8 and 20 are not to be put down above 200kts? I just randomly noticed this new placard about 2-3 weeks ago. It's a pain in the neck when I'm trying to use the anti-ice and slow down on an approach. Ore even out of icing conditions - we get slowed to 210kts a lot, and I like to drop flaps 8 in that time. At first I thought it would be just like one or two 200's, but now all of them I have flown have the placards. I don't even recall seeing a memo about this.
