Flap Sup, if you observe the tarmac at LCY during peak time(s), all LX 146s you will see are from the RJ family, either -85, -100, or 100 MkII.
For all the readers, one interesting thing about operating the ARJ, is max performance take-off out of LCY is done using full flaps, e.g. flaps 33
It must be the only A/C to take off with full flaps for MTOM or are they any other?
One other future aircraft that might be coming into LCY soon (alright, not before about 2 years) is the ERJ170. LX has ordered 30 of those (+another 30 of the 190-200 type) and those have been ordered on the promise they could operate into LCY. From what I heard, flaps alone will not permit to maintain the slope during the approach. They will have speedbrakes (spoilers) on the top of the wing, but, as with similarly equipped airplanes cannot be used when the flaps are down. So. It seems Embraer is looking at a under belly speed brake, similar in concept to the one used on some fighter aircraft!
Wait and see
