I know, that was my reaction at first too, then I thought about B 747, A340, DC-8, A 380, etc.

Hey I sucessfully (in the sim) limped an Avro RJ85 around the pattern on one engine....

And of course any jet flown by a mainline pilot can be flown on one engine. Now the regional jets..... Didn't the Colgan Senate hearings teach you anything?

I guess they didn't foam the runway because it was raining?

I guess you dont know what your talking about.
Good job to the crew!

foaming runways usually happen when you have to belly land an aircraft and want to prevent ignition of a spark to the fuel......good to hear that everyone was ok.

That is always one of my favorite CRJ200 questions. What is the maximum "souls on board" for this aircraft? 80% always get this question wrong.

Any guesses???

104 sob

50 seats = 50 paxs; each pax has a lap child under 2 years old

1 captain

1 fo

1 FA

1 jumpseater

now does the crj200 have a FA jumpseat? if so, 105 sob

but hell that would be weight restricted anyways so 80% of 104 sob x pie and don't forget to FOIL = ??
