Differences training CRJ1000

Overview

CRJ1000 Differences Training overview

The aim of the CRJ 1000 differences training course is to provide you with sufficient theoretical knowledge and FSTD instruction to safely operate the CR1000 jetliner.

The main objective is to help with the transition from CRJ100/200 or CRJ700/900 to CRJ1000.

The transition to CRJ1000 consists of following parts:

• 15:30 hours of variant-related differences ground school from CRJ100/200
• 04:00 hours of variant-related differences ground school from CRJ700/900
• 03:00 FSTD (FFS) training from CRJ100/200
• 02:30 FSTD (FFS) training from CRJ700/900

The CRJ1000 -differences training course is followed by either partial proficiency check with an EASA CL65 TRE in simulator or by the LIFUS within your operator.

Prerequisites

Before being enrolled into the CL65 - CRJ1000 differences training, you have to meet following:

• be a holder of valid Medical Certificate Class 1 
• be a holder of EASA ATPL(A) for PIC or EASA CPL(A) for Co-pilot
• be a holder of CL65 type rating for any of the CRJ variants, or
• completed the FSTD part of the CL65 initial typerating

Simulator

The simulator training is adjusted to your experience with CRJ variants. The training consists of single simulator session lasting 3 hours for pilots transitioning from CRJ100/200 and 2:30 if the transition is done from the CRJ700/900. The main difference of the CRJ1000 compared to the older CRJ100/200 is significantly longer and equipped with the advanced automatization including the use of FADEC as well as installation of the slats making the eyesight a bit different during the landing.

Compared to CRJ700/900, the CRJ1000 is heavier, longer which brings a threat of the tailstrike as well as the onboard avionics is advanced.
