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.
Discuss.
Whats up with the putting the statement or question out there and then the next line says "discuss"? Just state the question or make the statement. People will then respond if they want to. The " Discuss" line is ridiculous.
I regards to your question, the 200 has flap issues. Restricting to 200 KIAS is expected to reduce the number of FLAPS FAIL problems.
