I think all going well they could have at least crashed on the runway. Of course, all going well they would've stopped for fuel along the way.

AerocatS2A - thanks for sharing the procedures - I took the liberty to add them to my post, hope OK, I mentioned the source. Can you advise what speed would be appropriate assuming something like 7,500 kg payload and zero fuel? Did the slow down to what appears to be about 125 KCAS seem about right for landing configuration? If you have the time, please let me know if I have the RJ85 features covered correctly. Thanks!
