Must be a reason she works for riddle. Tami Jo probably threw up a little bit.
TJ prob fainted when she saw the video.

If they auto deploy shouldn't the handle come back to the extended position like on Boeing aircraft? She most likely just did a manual deployment after landing.

On a CRJ the handle is only for the manual deployment. There is no full deploy detent and it only actuates the flight spoilers. Manual deployment of the ground spoilers (as well as deactivation of auto deploy) is via a 3 position switch.

For some reason she has the flight controls page up on the right MFD and you can see the spoilers indicating deployed before she moves that handle.

Isn’t this the one where the CA and FO switched seats?

IF that happened, she should have exercised professional judgement and politely declined to embarrass the profession. Go back to the 172 and stop playing in the sim, you might damage it.

No. Female mesa pilot. 7 kt winds. She upgraded a month or two after that. Went to a legacy a year or so later.

Depending on conditions, 100 ft is very plausible in a 200. Many 200 pilots pull power way too late and land much flatter than they should be. A pretty normal technique is to begin pulling power at 100 ft and vary speed of reduction based on energy state. Power should normally be at idle by 50 ft in that plane. Depending on energy and winds, straight to idle at 100 ft does happen, especially depending on approach speed being flown (whether the operator flies at ref or ref+5 or more).
"Sink Rate" probably isn't the hint that you should pull power early.

I have thousands of hours in that thing, and the stars would have to line up right. I could do it, but frankly there were things I could do with that airplane which in the end I chose not to because it set a bad example for the FO. Stable approach and all that. When I was coming up, teaching FO's to maximize performance was part of the drill... today it's probably best just to teach them basic SOP and respect for the envelope they've been given. They won't have time to master their RJ before they upgrade.
