RJ (Canadair) Flaps problems
As an ARFF Fire Officer, I have been confronted lately with numerous emergency calls for RJ's with flaps problem (partial flap, and warning indicators). Is it because these flaps are electrically controlled that they present so many problems ? Is it a wide spread problem ? As a pilot of an RJ (Canadair) with partial flaps or flapless situation how much runway do you use (bare & dry for the runway and average weight for the aircraft)? Thanks.
