Min clean appr speed Rj-100
No other reason but to satisfy my curiosity, can any Rj-100 pilot give me an approximate figure for the minimum clean approach speed (IAS) of a lightly loaded RJ-100? [It was the end of a one hour flight with only 20 pax on board).

We used to use a standard 190kts, which worked unless you were very heavy, say greater than max landing weight 40t.
If you wanted slower, then without looking in my books, vfto+10 would be the limit with 25 deg bank angle. Haven't got the books to hand at the moment, but that speed will vary with weight, and at 40t vvfto will be about 180kts.
