Call it a pride/ego thing; with proper descent planning you shouldn't NEED to use spoilers and with the new flap speeds its becoming increasingly more necessary.

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.
Discuss.

I regards to your question, the 200 has flap issues. Restricting to 200 KIAS is expected to reduce the number of FLAPS FAIL problems.

At ASA we were told bombardier changed the recommendation of 200 to a limitation. This is a PITA because Atlanta routinely slows us to 210 on arrival and sometimes we maintain it onto the glideslope. They might also ask for an expedited descent at 210 for a short approach. When all you have is spoilers you don't get down as quick as they'd like.

You do not have to turn the hydraulics on. The gear might on RARE OCCASIONS deploy slowly but I have never seen it and I have thrown the gear out many many times at 250 KIAS.

Seriously? A GD message scared you? You had a Holy Crap Moment? I hope you never have a real problem in flight.
