You're talking Avro RJ-100 right?
Autoland to 50' DA, 150/75/75 metres RVR.. .Ceiling FL330 or 350 depending on type of pressurisation. Current effective ceiling limited, as not RVSM approved, to FL280. Approval had, then lost due altimeter accuracy, and I understand soon to be restored.
cruise mach .70 / 295 KIAS.
Performance. Very weight and bleed state dependant.
Good Points?. .- Well, 4 engines has got to be good. . .- Handles nicely.. .- Nice airbrake (on rear fuselage so no limitations on use versus flap).. .- Reasonable avionics depending on vintage.. .- Lots of reversion in the Electrical and Hydraulic systems.
. .Bad points?. .- The overhead panel. Yuk. But then I'm spoilt, having had the ATR panel before which is a nice "lights out hardly ever touch anything" sort of deal. In particular, there is a lot of air source switching to be done during busy flight phases (like 300 feet above decision).. .- The APU, notorious unreliability thereof.. .- Indexing and organisation of the flight manuals and checklist.. .- "Entering Warp Speed" sound (from original trek series) when extending or retracting Flap 18.

Are you talking RJs in general, or any ones in particular. Say a batch of 16 soon to be moving north from LGW?
