We are consistently dispatched to an altitude we will not be able to make in 200s. The answer to this is simple...."We'd like to stop the climb at FLXXX." If you are in a 200, in the summer, and you are filed at 350 it probably aint gonna happen. grab a little more gas and stop the climb at 31. At what point did we stop being pilots? This is basic stuff. A FL280 restriction is a little extreme.
A 7/9 being restricted to 350 is downright asinine. |
Wooowwww
That super hard interview really works! |
Am I the only one reading this correctly? There isn't an altitude restriction, it's a minimum air speed restriction.

I don't have experience in the 200 but I am told its high level climb performance is really bad. Therefore, pilots are climbing right in the edge just to stay legal at a minimum of 500fpm(I hear they can't even do that in the summer).
If you can't climb at 500fpm, you simply tell ATC. Is there something else you're referencing that's "illegal"? |

Understood and agree. I guess I just thought that was a given. How often have you heard a CRJ saying "unable to maintain a 500fpm climb?" (Or some derivative)
But I'm not sure if I care that much to notice. Not really sure though how that factors into pilots KNOWING HOW TO DO THEIR FRIGGIN' JOB. Can't climb? Simply tell ATC you can't climb. What are they gonna do? Violate you because you complied with FAR's on a mandatory report? |
